Mentioned repeatedly.-Going to the US for a better life than Canada.
All I can say is OMG!!An honest point of view from immigrants.
Hey, that Mercedes ain't cheap!This Just In-You must pay taxes to pay for living here and taxes fund services you might not use.
This reminds me of the US American singer Lauryn Hill who thought 'she shouldn't pay taxes because she wasn't part of the system'.
She ended up behind bars for her trouble/had to pay all the back taxes and fines on top of that.
And of course lawyer's fees-always pay lawyers first.
Puerto Vallarta. It has a hefty concentration of mature ( Gen X) AB and SK inhabitants.I would emigrate in a heart beat if only I could find a place that:
- had good health care (god forbid that I'd need it but likely would eventually)
- weather that averaged 25C all year around
- cost of living was reasonable & affordable based on what I make each year
- good transportation hub so that I could return to visit whenever I wanted to
- affordable housing (see #3)
If I could find this place, I would go no problem.
I hate shoveling snow and cold weather hurts my bones. But so far, there hasn't been anywhere that I'd rather be at present because there isn't anywhere else that would fully fill my requirements.

That's Medellin in Colombia 'the city of eternal spring' -you need to speak Spanish though unlike Mexico there's next to no English to be found anywhere.I would emigrate in a heart beat if only I could find a place that:

Actually, my husband spoke to a guy in Medellin who was working the telephones for one of the applications he was having an issue with. He was a Canadian who moved there and said it was a fantastic place to live and he loved it there. I asked hubby if the Cartels were an issue and apparently they're not - the cartels are mostly in the country side where they can keep track of who goes in and out. I was actually really surprised, not that I'd want to go there myself. Just thought it was interesting.That's Medellin in Colombia 'the city of eternal spring' -you need to speak Spanish though unlike Mexico there's next to no English to be found anywhere.
