Canada??!! Oh hell no.. I dont wanna live in an igloo, speak French, and drive dog sleds to walmart.


Seriously though, why run away? I guess Ill just be an old wet blanket and stay here and fight for what I believe in.

Where I live, ain't no french or igloos and you have to travel 3 days North for a dog sled..

But it is definitely not the South Pacific!

soory i meant celcious, im metiric its really warm

This is an "American" based site. Post in English
You were talking about Canada, I should have figured that.

somewhere between the panhandle of florida and ohio.I bounce back and forth so the shtf will find me in one or the other.This country is worth fighting for(minus the corporate/bank run government)Ill be digging in.

I have been working for some extrememly wealthy Americans off and on over the years
who cottage here on the great lakes....
I guess they bought the list and scratched Canada off it so they have the expat quota all to themselves
cause this is where they tell me they are coming if and when.

Why tell everyone when you have a good thing going...?
thats what seagulls do.
Ever see 50 seagulls fight over a french fry?

oh sorry...FREEDOM fry


come to think of it..thats how half my family got here and why they stayed

But the dogs will keep you warm and cozy at night in your igloo most of us don't speak French (just Quebec), although you have to learn to spell cheque. And we drive snowmobiles and quads to Walmart these days



I have my spot, right in the middle of Canada. Extreme cold in the winter, but summer weather is perfect. Mild, not usually rainy, and not humid.
Short trip into the wilderness if ever needed.

I have thought about this quite a few times, and I'd have to say I'd stay put if I could. Just for the reason of familiar territory.

But if I had money and HAD to go, I think I'd choose Austrailia.

If SHTF as in natural disaster or nuclear war, it depends on the scenerio. I live in Colorado, so I could go any direction. If Yellowstone blew, I would have no choice but to go south immediately.

My first choice between Mexico and Canada would definitely be Canada though.

and she gets to go 125 MILES per hour all day long
when the going is good and the slush isnt to deep...


well driving a triple with a bit of a tail wind


thats freedom baby!

Ya I'm coming to Vancouver and I'm going to work for peanuts and bring everyone I know and even some that I don't. About 39 people to a one bedroom apt. Get on what ever public assistence will have us all. Steal what ever tools you people make available that you use for your livelyhood. Hopefully starve you out and have a free run waiting our next generation. The way you people go nuts over a hockey game, looks very attractive to me.

I just think the Canadian stereotypes are hilarious 1/2 of my folks are in Canada and I never grow tired of it for as much grief as I get from a few for being an arrogant American. I can get dual citizenship through the tribe and thought of doing it so they could only make fun of half of me

Anyway, Ive seen a lot of the folks on ATS wanting to run off due to the hardships they feel are here. Considering the state of other countries, Id say we arent in the poo yet. By now, its too late to leave really.. its rolling fast downhill. For me, Ive lived in other countries for periods of time.. I just prefer the US and glad for it when Ive returned. Its everyones freedom to leave if they wish, but Id sure like the extra hands to get this place back on track. The US is a very young country.. IMO we still have a window of opportunity to set things right. If all of the folks who see whats happening jump ship, its not doing the rest of us any favors.

Oh and I assume a lot of the folks here who want to run to Canada havent really looked into how close and cozy your PM is with our Prez... and have never really dug into the whole NAU thing. Harper acts like he and Obama share underwear and are BFFs...

Canada? We already have a crap govt here.

Why would we pick the same thing? Unless we were lonely for one?

I dunno. Might as well just stay here.

And it only gets slushy in April. Then the sleddin gets tricky

Not a lot of people in the prairies, no one seems to like the cold. I like it, everything stays clean looking and white when it's too cold to get muddy. Just need to learn to dress for the weather, and make sure the block heater is working good. Summer is about getting ready for the winter.

I guess that's why we have the wide open spaces and less than a million people in this province. I think it's a good place to stay.

When Scwitt hits a fan. Scwitt splatters.
Don't expect to get nunya!

I really have to agree
we have slush because georgian bay goes up or down with the barometer and so water gets on the ice a bit....

then we switch to scoots (air boats ) with airplane propellors ...
a 15 foot hull with a 265 horse aircraft engine.....
which go 165 MPH in good going...
and there is a lot of ice on the bay
miles and miles and miles....

then a couple months later its cigarette boats and water skis....

*sigh*
we don''t really wanna share....
unless our neighbours show up with a case of JD
then we love company
but
shouldn't we be extolling the virtues of MEXICO....?

Born and raised on the Prairies myself.

I know exactly what you are saying.

By the sounds of it, there will be too many people down there. Nice and spacious up here tho.
