How is the life in Canada?

Question

Some informations please

Answer 1

Cold, very cold.

Answer 2

Well, I don't know. I have never been there, but I can tell you that some people in this place that declare to be Canadians, believe that they are experts in my country, Cuba, just because they have been the a few times. You can visit a country and see only what you want to see

In Cuba we say: "the worst blind is the one that doesn't want to see"

The funny thing is that, so far, none of them are here to talk about THEIR country

Answer 3

Fabulous for 8 months of the year, very crappy and cold and depressing for the other 4...welcome to the North :)

Answer 4

Canada is a HUGE country!  So life in Southwestern Ontario (where I live) is different than life in the Prairies.  

The weather is varied and many parts of Canada have very nice climates.  Today in Windsor Ontario (right across from Detroit, Michigan, USA) it is pretty warm, it is suppose to be in around 30 degrees Celsius or 90 degree Fahrenheit.  Summer weather seems to kick in in late May early June and stays until mid to late September.  Fall is pretty short, usually till November and either you will see people wearing sweaters or light jackets.  Winter is cold, requiring boots, gloves, hats and heavy coats especially when it snows.  Usually spring will pop up in mid April.  Southwestern Ontario has a mild climate, as do many parts of British Columbia.  The further north you go, the cooler the climate becomes.  

Our currency is currently a bit less than the US dollar, the average cost of a litre of gas in my area is about 1.30 a litre, for milk is about 3.99 for a litre, a small bottle of Coke or Pepsi will run you about 1.29.  

Canada is very culturally diverse.  Immigrants from all around the world come to Canada in hopes of starting a new life.  

Steve Harper is our Prime Minister, he is democratically elected by the people Canada.  There are 10 provinces and 3 territories.  The official languages are English and French.  The Capital of Canada is Ottawa, but originally it was Kingston, both are in Ontario.  Toronto is nowhere near Vancouver, so you can't just drive over for lunch, it will take about 3 days to get from one to the other.  

We have Universal Health care, g*y marriage, rights to abortion, a Charter of Rights and Freedom, Human Rights Code, we are generally seen as a pretty accepting society.  We are highly taxed and governed by a complexity of laws, generally we are seen as soft on crime to the chagrin of our American friends at times.  

We have conflicts, maybe you have heard that Quebec at times has wanted to separate from the rest of Canada?  We have had a sad history of abusing our most vulnerable populations like aboriginal people, unfortunately we continue to pay for the mistakes of the past.  Maybe we are still learning the lesson.  

Canadians are generally happy and friendly people but we have our issues too.  It is a beautiful country with so much to see and do.  So much variety and so much history and culture from all around the world.  

Best way to learn about Canada, come see for yourself!!!

Answer 5

According to friends and relatives in Canada, it's quite nice.  You would probably be comfortable politically as Canadians have chosen to avoid active military participation in other countries but do serve as peacekeepers in the UN organization.  If you speak French as well as English, that will make your travels easier if you plan to spend any time in Quebec.

Answer 6

Life is pretty much what you would expect in an industrialized, developed nation. There are good things about Canada such as:

>universal health care - which isn't free but is universally accessible to those people who qualify

>no death penalty

>the freedom to visit Cuba

>relatively low crime rate (compared to the US, that is)

There are some bad things about Canada such as:

>people who whine about the weather instead of making the best of what nature gives

>catty politics, though we may be going into a federal election next month

>a tendency towards being soft on crime

At any rate, you would be better off looking through Wikipedia or our federal government websites to learn more.
