I was being scarcastic :lol: I've been asked "How's the center of the universe?" whenever I went to Ottawa and Vancouver for work. The... we live in Toronto's greatest city and we have the best hockey team and we have the best of the best of the best kinda annoys me. The best places I wouldn't mind settling down in Canada... 1. Sudbury 2. Calgary (would have been 1 if it wern't so darn cold in the winters) 3. Victoria
Oh now I beg to differ with ya Lance...Nova Scotia is heaven! ;)

Aye, I'm just a tad bit prejudiced as NS is the only place I've seen so far. As long as there's a Tim Horton's I suppose I'd be happy most anywhere in Canada. :D

I'll second that prejudice! :P

Well I didn't grow up in Toronto, but did grow up about 40 mins from Toronto so I guess that counts. As for me, I think I visited 2 other provinces (other then the bunch when I was like 2 years old and luckly have no recolection of it) and that's about it. Always grew up in the center of everything so never had a desire to see the rest of Canada or really care much about it actually.

Guess I have that "We are canada" mentaility where there's only 3 real places: Toronto, Southern Ontario and then the rest of the country...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

All i know for a fact is that the world best hockey team is the Calgary Flames!!

You know I have to disagree with that right? But I will say they are better than the Capitals, lol.

Go Islanders!

My fiancee and I have quite the little rivalry going about this. Seems like we have the Leafs number the last couple of seasons although they may be the only team. :( oh and one more thing

I also find it interesting that a post on immigration reform got turned into a hockey thread. Oh it's the Canada forum...Never mind.

PS: Tim Horton's has the best coffee and kicks SB's butt. (And the double chocolate donuts aren't bad either)

BTW, I haven't been up for a while, what is the latest bagel porn at the TH drive-thru?

LOL, I "lovingly" refer to Starbucks as Charbucks...that's what it tastes like to me.

America was founded and stregthened by immigrants; with that said, they did it the leagal way! I am thoroughly disappointed with our politicians posturing on this issue. There is no such thing as amnesty for criminals, and sad to say that is what "Illegal Immigrants" are. They are breaking the laws of this country just as much as a murderer or rapist, though not with the same intent obviously. Our gr8 country is being undermined and pushed toward a collapse if we as a people do not address this issue with strength.

I believe everyone should be treated with dignity, whether you are a prisoner at Gitmo or an undocumented alien, or just some plain Joe or Judy on the street. Americans are looking to our politicians for the answers here, when we should be telling them what we want and need as a country.

Tha't my opinion, oughta be yours! :dance::-)

yes, only makes sense we all share ur opinion,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
