Hello all,
(Gonna be a big post so bear with me 8O)
I am a Canadian citizen but I have never lived in Canada, I was born there whilst my parents were there temporarily for Dad's job, and thus am Canadian by birth. We left however before I was 3.
Anyhow, I am sick of Australia, the country I'm in right now, and considering moving abroad, and since I have Canadian citizenship I thought I'd do some research on the place.
So firstly, what are the politics like there? Liberal or conservative or libertarian or different?
Much tax?
What is Canada like for civil liberties? Things like police powers, free expression and whatnot, excessive regulation, traffic management etc.
Do stores close early in the cities? (Thinking of Vancouver or Toronto)
I currently speak a little French, but not well, is that gonna be a problem?
What are the people like in the cities?
Are the drivers any good? (I HATE Australian drivers:lol
Is there much crime in the cities?
Is the economy doing OK?
Right turn on red?
Can I own pistols? (I am a state level sporting handgunner in my current home)
Will I be able to find an apartment in the city for a reasonable price?
What don't you like about Canada? What are some of the things that are bad about living there?
Thanks in advance for any answers and I sincerely appologize for the massive post:lol:
