Canada is merely decomposing slowly under our eyes.  ^_^

And as we all know, the old must die for the new to emerge.

ah, but people have been saying that since 1970.  Time to move on, methinks.  Independance is not dead, just sleeping for a while.

No, it hasn't changed.  I keep hearing the same stories over and over again from Hong Kongers who left Canada and came back here - that it is impossible to make money over there.  It is a good place for some, but only if money/career is not a consideration.

Yeah.  Namely, other cheap-ass chinks.

Perhaps.  But I have yet to hear a single story of a Hong Konger who moved to Canada and made at least the same amount of money as they did in Hong Kong.

Eventually Quebec will get its wish for independence and the rest of federal Canada, losing its population and economic center, will petition for US statehood for their provinces.  What would be left we'd make part of the National Parks system.

Yes, that would be nice.

Still can't wrap your chow mein noodle around that whole cost of living concept, huh?

Sure thing, Timmy.  Why don't you go make some nice maps showing it?

If one makes the same amount of money in Hong Kong and Canada, Canada's much lower cost of living is indeed a great blessing.  Trouble is, one makes so little money in Canada that the standard of living is actually higher in Hong Kong :contract:

Meh, it's still just a frozen wasteland that culturally is like the more liberal parts of the U.S., just with more Frenchies, Eskimos, and hockey fans.   :P

I have no changed opinion, and as my opinion is based on the time I livbed in Vancouver more than 10 years ago I doubt it really fits anymore :D

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
