Thread Name: BS: possibly moving to Canada
Subject: RE: BS: possibly moving to Canada
I have relatives in Canada and for the most part love the people I know in Canada.   My biggest problem is that no one in Canada knows how to make Ice Tea.    You cannot get a brewed unsweetened Ice Tea in the entire country.    I have a problem moving to a country that does not know how to make ice tea.

They also don't take Discover Cards in Canada.   I would fire the Canadian Discover salesman in a heartbeat.    That 1/2 point is important to me and pays for Summerfolk.    If I moved to Canada I would lose that 1/2 point rebate because no one accepts it.

The biggest reason for moving to Canada is Tim Hortons, but they have opened a number of Tim Hortons in Michigan.    That took away the main reason to move.

The last reason to move was to see the Stanley Cup.   They brought the cup to my company a few months ago and it was cool to see it up close.   I guess it is easier to see the cup in the states than it is in Canada. I do think they should allow a Canadian team to win it every 10 years or so.

Canadian gardens are beautiful.   I think the nicest gardens I have ever seen in my life are the Queen Elizabeth gardens in Halifax.   Windsor also is lovely with Jackson Park and Coventry Gardens.   I am still looking for a garden in Detroit and one day I may even find one.
