felixis99: Oh! Christmas1!! Funny you should mention it. One of my biggest regrets, honestly honestly, is that I didn't get to Quebec City when I was in Montreal. So silly of me! But I was much younger at the time and thought there would be infinite time for everything


One life will never be enough to see the world!
Enjoy today wherever you are.

It might rank higher if it wasn't so cold.

Of course the poll is dumb- there are many countries 90% of the people answering haven't been to.


Venezuela is certainly prettier than Canada and gasoline is cheap but they have a lousy president right now.

Canary Islands has to be way up there although its loosely tied with Spain.

Relative to what? Seriously what gives the people the idea that Canada is a barren ice land? I don't live in the Arctic. I think too many people generalize

Sorry, your not. There is no "best" country.

you can find greatness in all the countries and sometimes you do not even have to go looking for it!

Funny , you mentioned that about Australia and you 're also Australian--because I have been thinking the same about Australia. I was going to move to Australia and finally at the last hour, backed out. I had been following the news for months and Australia is not going well,and we 're not talking about the 'economic' situation or political , but political might have something to do with it on different levels...well, females, to live in Australia are not so safe.......one just has to read the news.... .That's a pity,though.
annie_nsw: Ya'll probabley come in a close second if not tie to Australia.. although lately I am not happy with how Australia is going.If I could live in BC I would give serious consideration to your 4th option ..lol

No, it's actually a loon, rather fitting too.laugh


Mossies only had a crew of 2, Beavers hold 6, which is our national critter, although a little furrier than the de Havilland version. grin

Well, the only thing that bothers me is ending up with $30 worth of change in my pocket and the weight trying to pull my jeans down.laugh

At least we won't have to worry about the penny for much longer, looks like it's going by way of the Dodo bird.roll eyes


Pssst, don't tell them about the giant weather curtain across the 49th. detective

Oh I love loons - they sound so eerie on a foggy lake - it is like a baby's cry, and I saw them "dancing" - one of my most awesome memories. I saw loons dancing at White Water Indiana ~ spectacular!

Oddly enough I was talking to someone about Canada recently. You'd be hard pushed to find someone who had something bad to say about Canada and Canadians and from what I see on here, Canadians seem to be polite and courteous! I know you have a good health/social care system without the fear of communism and are not in favour of war or any other form of state sanctioned killing. Nor do you seem to be a selfish nation/people impopsing your will on other countries. You seem content to have enough!

Perhaps we should all learn from you!wave
