@GottaLaff Firstly, yay! Port Moody is gorgeous. A bit too rural for my tastes, but at least you’re one ride away from downtown Van, so it’s all good. If you get a chance, check out Victoria and Van Isle in general. It’s beautiful out here.
So, on to the questions:
As someone who’s lived most of their life in Canada, I’m very familiar with how the country and people are perceived by many folks in other nations, and acutely aware of the discrepancies between that and some realities - both for the good and the ill. How have you found that in your case?
Also, on a grimmer note, how have you dealt with seeing our politics and culture war riding the coat-tails of what you were trying to gain distance from?
