Where do you live?

[ULF_55]

Yes - I was out of the house by 18 myself..... I have 2 girls as HS sophomores and 1 girl in middle school.

I don't think they've thought about college and being out of the house, which means I haven't given much thought about empty nest. I sure wouldn't miss the drama sometimes.

This isn't PC, but I have 2 boys 1 girl, little drama. You have 3 girls ...

St Thomas - home of Joe Thornton.

Out of curiosity, are you for the CANZUK agreement?

I think it's a pipe dream, difficult to see as more than Edwardian fantasy given the impracticalities.

I have EU citizenship though ancestry which is my basis for being allowed to work here (for now!).

I thought you were Welsh

Not an unfair deduction since my avatar is the Wrexham FC badge

I live Northeast of Peterborough. Sorta redneck land. Lol. Also great idea for an off season thread. Well done OP.

Whereabouts? My dad's family are from Peterborough, and I have a cottage near Apsley.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Wales, UK.

Worked in Toronto for a few months in 2011 - loved the place and everything that comes with it ever since.

I apparently have a bit of Welsh in my background, along with English, Scottish, and Irish. It's one of the top places on my list of travel destinations.

Born in London Ontario and moved to K-W when I was 8 and lived here for 30+ years now

 

[notDatsyuk]

Grew up in a house that backed onto the Dufferin Racetrack, which became the Dufferin Plaza, then Mall. My grandfather built the house 113 years ago, and my brother still lives there.

West end Toronto all my life.

 

[Sniper99]

Edmonton born and raised and still here.

Hahaha man sometimes getting to Leaf games would take an hour or even more! So brutal

Best is the train from Pearson to Union. The gf works at Pearson, park there and it's like a 15min train ride to downtown

Not as difficult as you think of course assuming your financials are in order, offer to live out east where I am and I truly doubt they say no...we need people lol

It can certainly be difficult if you don't have a really in-demand skill or aren't gonna marry someone who lives in your destination country. I've toyed with the idea of moving to the US pre-covid (I'm young, single, and my industry pays so much better there than here... no way I would retire there, though) and have struggled to find interviews there while I don't have much of a problem getting interviews here. And I work in an industry that's always in-demand (software) and am Canadian, which are two strong points in my favor.

In my experience, it certainly gets worse outside of big cities for employment immigration - they aren't sadly beaming with job opportunities.

Have managed to visit Toronto once and watch the 6-1 destruction of Florida in 2016.

 

[ULF_55]

I lived just outside Toronto my whole life but I just got a place in Ottawa because it came down to owning in Ottawa vs renting in Toronto. Would love to move to B.C one day if I can afford it

If you can afford Ottawa you can afford many locations in BC.

If you want best value, Port Alberni, but then you are at a small risk of Tsunami.

I live North of Havelock. By Oak lake actually. I have a family cottage on Kashabog lake too. It’s just South of Jacks lake.

We get no respect in the States. The only place you used to be able to watch the Leafs at a reasonable price.

Yeah I actually took it one time to a Leaf game in 2019 against the Avalanche when Carl Soderberg made Jake Gardiner look like an AHLer

Lucky to see Sundin leafs in 99-01 in Boston. Tix were very reasonable.
