Fizz, there are 110% of Canadians? Holy crap, eh? My mom and grandma are from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I haven't been there in 25 years or so. I remember it being gorgeous country up there, but man does it get COLD and they sure get a LOT of snow. I wouldn't live up there either!
Vancouver seems nice. Seems like it isn't as cold, mountains and water look gorgeous. If I was a west coast guy I could see living up there. My brother-in-law's family moved to Seattle about 15 years ago, he loved it up there.
Its amazing how much open space there is up there...
