Nanaimo weather at it's best.

You poor thing

lol. It's not as bad as people seem to think. Name an ethnic style food and I can walk to get some. Plus, I'm a block from the fastest route out of town! lol

Wussy. It only takes a week to acclimatize then it all feels the same. I feel sorry for ya.

You're missing out on 99.9% of Canada. You're paininted into a 1000sq km box with other 2.5 Million people who live in fear of each other.

i am a open minded canadian, i enjoy all of canada, i read and watch many documentaries, canada over
the edge, etc., i choose to live here, i have a great mind, you know nothing about me at all, and
i know nothing about you. i think you should take your sympathy elsewhere, i don't need it, but
thanks anyway.

wow, that just sounds so quaint. Like going back in time. Watching it would be like seeing into the past. Way too cool.

I've never ridden a train and I know I have a completely romanticized notion about it, but I still want to. I want to read while zipping along, here the engine, have a few too many drinks in the bar carriage. Get off at some remote location for a couple of days and then head back home. I think I'd want to even buy special clothes for the event.

It does have the romance if you spend extra for silver and blue class otherwise be prepare for the transition from wet to dry in the liquor sense in coach.

It still stands. It's like love, you can't turn it on and off like a switch.

i love our rain, that is why it is so green here. doesn't rain near as much as you prairie dogs

pretend.

my two grandaughters have been living in ottawa, (going to school), and that experience is teaching
them how great it is here on the island, or in most of b.c.

winter is unbearable, so cold people all jump up and down waiting for the bus, and now that it is
summer, seems many areas are under water, no thanks, i'll grow grass in the winter, walk anywhere
i want in the winter, enjoy a wonderful spring and fall, don't really like the over 30deg. during
july and august, but the ocean is close by, and the river, and the lake, so take my choice, and
cool off.

maybe not bella coola, prince rupert, and a couple of other rain drenched places, but the rest of
us don't get near that much rain.

- Have you ever been to Tahsis?

- Have you ever been to Tahsis?

one of my daughters lived in tahsis for years, when she finally came bAck to civilization it
took her a while to adjust, she said it rained there for days and days at a time. she knows
everything there is to know about tahsis, sure makes one appreciate 'anywhere' else, (not the
prairies) though, she wasn't cold, and one can easily stay dry with the right 'lightweight clothing',
and go out, which she did all the time, if what came down from the sky in tahsis was snow, they
all would have disappeared. lol

and yes, i have been to tahsis.

i'm not painted anywhere, i know all about all of canada, i love to know the geography of our
country.
you shouldn't try to tell others about themselves, others know who they are, look in the mirrow
and study what you see.

Me too, back in 1969, was in camp in Head Bay for 6 months. W.A.C. Bennett had big plans of building a highway from Gold River to Tahsis, we got the survey done but the highway never materialized. The logging company followed our survey stakes and built a good logging road. Actually, Tahsis was nice in summer but come fall look out! -
