Information

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
