Zcomp you know what man the cold isnt all that bad you get use to it and besides you can always dress warm.But im telling you zcomp you will work 20 hours a day in Alberta if u want to.there is a huge housing shortage there due to the oil boom and there is a 2 year waiting list just to buy a house in many parts of Alberta.There is a shortage of workers to build the houses neccassary and a shortage of tradesmen to finish the houses.You should look into it.Plus Alberta has generally mild winters and the summers there are beutifull.I hear you on the pretend freedom you have in your country i think your country is one big police state with very little freedom but hey im just a dumb socialist who loves Canada so what do i know...Ive heard nothing but good things about Ireland too so i hope you find your place in this world.peace and good luck
