We live in the Twin Cities, and our 20 year old has a lot of friends in both Toronto and Winnipeg, who regularly make the rounds to one another's domiciles (driving for hours on end to get to punk gigs, mostly, then get int he car and drive and drive and drive....)

Anyway, we often have a house full of Canadian kids staying with us, and our kid has been similarly "adopted" by a few Canadian families too.

From the kids' perspective: ours says a move to Canada--Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver--would be cool. Canadian kids say, best to get your higher education in Canada (better value there), then move to the States for work, wages being higher here, and culturally they seem to like the US cities they have visited. They all tend to love the Twin Cities, but we are one of the few remaining bastions of progressivism in the US, so I think they truly feel more "at home" here.

I love a lot of parts of Canada. I probably would only consider a move to the Vancouver area though, I do like the eastern areas around the US/Can border in the Toronto region. I'd consider country living near Toronto, so I could get to civilization Canadian style!

But my pardner an'me, along with the kids, are leaning more towards either moving back east in the US or Canada, or to Europe. But no one seems to be on the same page as me with Tunisia! The hell with all of them!

Between me and the pardner, he loves PA & North Carolina, I love Boston and Maine. We do have some negotiating to do.
