Canada Questions???

I swear,,, I showered today...

move to regina saskatchewan...i just wanted to say hey skink go live in regina

I got a connect in BC and I live in the Washington state, but I'm too scared to drive that shit across. I think I'm unlikely to be searched since I have a new car, am white, have no criminal record (not even a speeding ticket), don't really look like a stoner and usually drive across with my gf. I went to a movie last sunday to see what would happen and I didn't get sent to secondary going in or coming back. But I saw some fucked up looking equipment going back into the US. Looked like some kind of x-ray machine for cars.

Anyone here ever done it?

only the french like the french here....

here in BC, there are loads of inexpensive places to rent..see, we have like 485734857348574380 hindus here and they build these mansions and you rent a basement suite..can get nice ones about 500, everything included, even cable and internet..as for the drivers license, you do have to get one here but only if you have residence status, which is very hard to get..you can drive on your american license with american car insurance, or you can get insurance here, but after 30 days (or was it 90? either one...) you arent really covered....i found that out the hard way when i had my car accident...oh well.....canada is great to visit and all, but people dont realize how very hard it is to actually live here....immigration is truly a fearful organization...

Alberta is your bets bet for low cost living. It has the cheapest taxes, and there is awesome money in the oilfield. Starting salery for the oilfeild is $70,000-$80,000 a year income. Damn good money. You could work for as long as you want, for like, 2months if you want. Pull in a couple thousand dollars a month. It's good money, but grunt work. You're away from home, you live in a camp, you work long days, but like I said, do it for a few months and make $5000.

As for D.L. and such, I have no clue as I don't drive. AB is your best bet for cheap living though.
