Their flag has a leaf on it! Uhhh...their main exports are beavers, maple syrup and shitty bacon. Primary military is moose mounted Mounties.
The only line of Canada's anthem I know is
"Oh Canada, our home an native land."
They pronounce sorry in a different way, and the word "about."
French people live there. Apparently have legendary health care, economy cant be that bad with all things considered.

Unfortunately, the only part of Canada I have experience with is Montreal. I do have a friend that lives in Vancouver though...
I'm originally from a city in New York that's about a half-hour away from the Canadian border so while I'm not too familiar with the country itself, I do have a lot of experience with its people. (My home city is a huge retail city and the Canadians LOVE to come down and spend their money there.)
They're a generally friendly folk and most of them LOVE their healthcare system despite the United States thinking it's crap (but the U.S. thinks most things that aren't done their way is crap). I remember they would always talk to me (and others) about how they love their healthcare and how the U.S. should change theirs; they would seriously get into friendly debates about it. Granted, from what I know of it, their healthcare is awesome for small check-ups and other such things but I hear it can get a bit held up during extensive procedures. They also can't drive for shit...
The economy there, from what I know, is just like every where else. It has it's typical ups and downs. (Though the last time I checked the Canadian dollar was worth more than the U.S.'s dollar so I guess they're doing better than us.) Obviously more tourist focused places will have a better economy. E.G. Vancouver, Montreal, Ontario...etc.
Unfortunately, is those same, more populated areas, crime can be kind of a big deal. I believe Montreal has a problem of thieves running around on the roof tops and stealing things from open windowsills.
Hope this was kind of... sort of... helpful/informative. Where specifically were you thinking of moving to? _________________

They're pretty much the same, though the USD is worth slightly more. |

Oh good! I don't keep up with this stuff as much as I likely should.

Actually, there are only likes 3-4 months where it's really cold, and that would be Winter. Summers are way too hot here. ._. _________________ Reneshin ~ 255 Knight Lord

....Ouch. And here I'm complaining about probably 80 - 90 F, that should be as hot as it gets in the Summer time. Around 30 - 35 Celcius max I think. _________________ Reneshin ~ 255 Knight Lord
