Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
If Linux doesn't get its desktop act together...
Chooco:
that's where i can help you. only 2 provinces in canada actually make money, Alberta and Ontario. you're welcome in Alberta if you want
jobs in alberta: LOTS
housing: middle i guess, a nice house in the suburbs costs like $200,000 (about $140,000 US)
salaries are sort of crappy here in Canada but a lot of stuff is cheap such as doctors and stuff like that. you can pickup perscription drugs for less than a 5 bucks, insurance covers the rest ;)
choasforages:
what about laws, am i allowed to own a gun in canada/*one of the things the us got right in the first place, but are screwing up right now*/, what about linux jobs, i don't want to support windows systems. also what about the langauge, i only speek english and a bit of broken german, do you have to know french up there?
Master of Reality:
a house out of the city in canada or in a small town costs about $80,000 - $110,000. Of course you can have guns in canada, only handguns need to be registered (for now). Rifles were supposed to be registered in jan 2000 or somethin but nobody registered by december so the government backed down and said that jan 2003 they will need to be registered, but no one is gonna register because they know that jean chretian is evil and wants to take away guns (he's probly afraid of being assasinated because no one likes him). Chicks can walk around topless in ontario, the most likely place to see topless chicks is the beaches though. Of course there is always the nude beach in toronto. Then there is the canadian tv, i got regular cable and there is two porn movies on right now (both canadian channels of course).

Dude, you'll love Canada. For one thing, Canada has alot more untouched wilderness then America. The other thing is that Canada has 1/10th the people. Mind you, at least 80% of the population lives within 200km of the border, but that's still reasonable.
You also get a priminister who had a cream pie thrown at his face during an apperance(seriously).
As for substance abuse, marijuanna is somewhat tolerated (not legal yet) by the piggys(RCMP). You can also get the best marijuanna in the world for good prices, of course you have to be in British Columbia for that.
Then there's beer, of course I hate beer so that doesn't matter to me.

My son and I were out all day today "touching" wilderness on our dirt bikes. I bet there's plenty of good riding up there. Might have to make a trip north...
