If you want a teaser of the pot we smoke here, flip to page 86 in the Dec 2007 issue of HighTimes and you will see a bowl of premium BC herb that is not all that difficult to obtain.

I've thought about moving to Canada as well- I can't believe no one has mentioned the Maritimes! My family emigrated from Scotland in the 1700s and settled there- as much as fishermen ever really settle- First in Newfoundland, then Nova Scotia, then on to New Brunswick... I'm still a little sore that they decided to keep on moving down the coast to end up in Gloucester MA before hanging up their oilskins... I think Nova Scotia is one of the prettiest places on earth, and so peaceful. The cape Breton music scene is fabulous too. And the Highland Games at Antigonish are a hootin' good time for us crazy Scots, lol! Assuming I could find employment, I'd move to the MAritimes in a heartbeat.

I will be transferring to a university up there, and my girlfriend will be looking for a professional school (chiropractic, medical, dental, vet, etc). For me, this will be easy, but for her, there are obviously fewer choices. I've tossed around this idea for quite some time, but it really looks as if it is reality now. This country has become so corrupted that it really is making me sick. Seeing the documentary "Sicko" was honestly the last straw. I won't sit here and watch another corrupt president walk around and change things as they see fit.

Dartmouth, Nova Scotia would be the place i'd go to if i was to move. Not only is the trailer park boys situated around there, it seems like a lovely place. And of course, lots of boats so hopefully i'd be sorted for work.

It basically looks as if you need to work on getting a visa, live in canada for the duration of that visa, then apply for citizenship. If you get a work visa, keep that job; if you get a student visa, stay in that school.

It is a little intimidating to think about moving into another country, but I'm ready to jump right in. Canada seems like the right place for us to settle down and start a family.

I would love to give Canada a try. Our neighbors at the northern border seem to live in a place of natural beauty. I love the outdoors, primarily hunting and fishing. Canada is known for being a top notch fishing destination too.

I recently saw a you tube video on how Canada is "going to pot" as a the journalist said. I will try to link it here. I thought it was pretty funny but the video stated some interesting statistics how Cananda has surpassed Holland in weed consumption.

Enjoy the clip!:thumbsup:

As a Maritimer, I'll speak up. I can highly recommend living on the east coast, but finding decent work can be a little bit difficult (unless you have some sort of skill).
If you are looking to live in a city environment, then Halifax is a good spot, for a smaller city, I would recommend Moncton, and if you are looking for an even smaller city, then Charlottetown is the way to go.
Most people are pretty easy going as far as pot goes, and we've got a kickass music scene.

What kind of music is popular in the music scene in Canada? I know this sounds stupid, but I really don't know.

[stinkyattic]

Well, the music scene that I'm aware of is the folk music scene, which is KICK ASS in NS.

I wonder... if an American moved to Canada because of current political mismanagement, would he consider himself a refugee?

[Comatose]

Folk music is pretty good. I appreciate any music that shows talent, but I really love the guitar in general.

I was actually wondering the same thing about being a refugee. I guess to the definition, you would be correct.
