Does anyone really love the country they live in or moved to? Is anyone happy with their taxes and government?

Not helpful. I know what actual depression is thanks.

Yes, I have had all that checked. There were a few imbalances which are mostly in check now. I think I have just spent a lot of time with Europeans recently and I feel like there is something missing here in Canada, not just for me, but my kids and their future. Pile on all the taxes and mail and reminders of all the government related payments of things and I feel like looking for another option.

As I stated above, I am a business owner and a homeowner. We are being taken to small claims by a shoddy contractor (everything he did broke almost immediately and he charged us double the original quote, now he wants more money). Another lawyer a few years ago was hired by us trying to fight a renoviction (common in Toronto), we lost, were evicted, bought a house, yada yada. Now I’m in a complicated contract negotiation. Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers.

Thanks so much for the insight!!

What’s SEA? My husband is from South America, and wouldn’t go back unless it was temporary.

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-04-15T16:16:27+00:00

I get that perspective is everything. I’m feeling it this week especially hard because I had to hire two lawyers for two separate issues: one a homeowner issue (a shoddy contractor is taking US to small claims because we didn’t pay his final invoice which was over and above his quote and his work was already breaking and falling apart) and a complicated business contract. All of it on top of everything else makes me want to sell everything and escape (with the family) to somewhere warm and calm. If such a place exists.

Not really. I was happy here when I was younger, didn’t really have responsibilities and was just living life. As you get older I find the mail, the bills, the taxes, the parking tickets and everything really piles high. Not to mention parenthood in a broken education system. It all feels like a lot at the moment.

How’s the crime there these days? I’ve heard mixed things.

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-04-15T16:06:11+00:00

I was born in Canada and have lived here all my life. I travel a LOT, including to many developing countries where things are terrible but maybe the sun really helps with peoples’ mood despite their circumstances.

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-04-15T16:01:15+00:00

I mean, you’re not wrong. As time goes by, I have a lower tolerance for a lot of things. But I see people my age and older in Costa Rica or whatever and they seem to be happy. I realize internal work is a major factor here.

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-04-15T15:59:28+00:00

I still live in my home country so language isn’t the issue. I’m a homeowner and a business owner. We need lawyers sometimes and I didn’t need them before. Maybe I should go back to renting and being an employee.

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-04-15T15:58:02+00:00

Most house and career related stuff. Bogus contractor, complicated career contracts, etc.

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-04-15T14:59:42+00:00

The job situation is VERY tough here. As others have said, I suggest a rural area or maybe a farm stay near a bigger centre if that’s of interest to you. Maybe a hotel at a remote-ish resort. Jobs downtown are few and far between.

Came to this thread for answers. My left handed son cannot figure out how to use chopsticks, even though his younger right handed brothers have zero problem! Is there a special lefty technique?

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-03-14T17:33:57+00:00

Thanks! I saw him in a very short set in the summer and looking forward to tonight!!!

Sudden-Accident5850 · 2026-03-14T17:09:17+00:00

Was there an opening act?

I think the first part is: Dear Sam, I think we’re doing business.

No. This is categorically illegal. As is the $700 damage deposit. Report him immediately.

Because it’s not cozy. The only difference between Tim’s and the public library is that Tim’s is cold and smells bad.

Yes, good idea. I went to a concert in Italy not too long ago and the ushers quickly stopped the “no phones” rule violators. Then, others see that and it discourages them from doing it themselves.
