I am from Canada and Tarus is correct, we Canucks have it good compared to many other countries.

I have visited and or lived in different areas of Canada from coast to coast, from the northern tundra and permafrost to the 49th parallel and would not live anywhere else but here in British Columbia.

Depending on where you live here, sure it gets cold and the gas is expensive but this is the price of freedom and for the millions of unspoiled acres of land that have never seen the footprint nor felt the presence of humans.
