Canada is so messed up. We do kilometers, ounces, centimeters, pounds etc. It's like they couldn't make up their mind.
I have found Canada to be a weird mixture of American, British and European (French) culture.

Pretty much. The French only is in certain areas. Apart from that, I find Canada to be very much like Australia. Moreso than Britain and probably rivaling New Zealand.
Yep, for sure. Great people and a great country in general.

I do love it. Happy to have my kids Canadian born and dual citizens. Miss home somewhat but have made a home here and don't regret it. Got good countries to follow in summer and winter Olympics. Haha.

What brought you to Canada? Your wife is Aussie, isn't she?

Nope. She's from Edmonton, Alberta. After Uni I did the pub thing in London. Aussie dollar was 33 pence at the time and I could never save enough to see more of Europe.

I didn't wan't to go home yet so after 5 months in London I took off to Calgary. I had friends there. Met my wife and her family were gracious enough to let me rent at their place. 6 months later she came back to Melbourne with me.

We lived there for 8 years, got married and made regular trips to Canada. She was always homesick. We decided to shake things up and give it a shot over here. We'd both only visited Vancouver briefly but I said I wasn't doing a -40 degree Prairie winter again!

NSFB I never thought I'd see the day that you had a South Australian in Croweater gear as your avatar. But I suppose that there's exceptions for everything, and the great Dan Menzel would be one of those exceptions.
For Daniel I'm happy to make an exception, wanted him looking young.

Cool. That's probably why I thought she was Aussie... I recall you saying before that you guys lived in Aus for a long time before moving to Canada together.

I'm going to miss the first half of the match because my son has his footy presentation tonight.:(

You guys can update me after the match. I should be home to watch the last half, which is something at least!

Did anybody just watch a movie on SBS called Candy? I'd seen it before HL passed away but it's the first time since. Some will be able to relate to it in some way and others won't, but man was it sad to watch such a great actor under the circumstances that have taken place since. :(

Yeah I might. Don't see it on the phone and I rarely use the computer but I don't think I can install adblock on the Mac. Will have to have a better look- it normally doesn't bother me, ie having the ads.
You can always buy a membership to get rid of them if you want to help 'Chief' get his next ivory back scratcher ;)
