General remarks
- bit too inviting "hey, come live here!" several locals and expats who likes it too you have to "believe in it" to stay here
- hard to find actual canadians bit of an expats grouping despite having no language barrier
- remarks on how the cold actually makes human relations harder during winter it does have a negative impact on movement even in a large city, less everything during winter, including human contact.
- Just tiring to move, remove layers andlayers, be sweaty, etc...so you moveles
- even if not everybody is affected by that, if only a significant part of the population is, it does have an overall impact.
- Vas-tu venir habite ici au Canada ?
- non car
- hivers froid, cf au dessus
- c'est bien americanise mine de rien (niveau nourriture entre autre)
- je dois voir le "reste" avant (genre Nouvelle-Zelande)
- malgre
- etat d'esprit positif
- amour de la langue et de la culture francaise (meme si idealise a mon avis)
- Montreal est bien actif mais pourtant relax
- Les Laurentides et les autres coins natures
- non car
