Pole - Should we move to Canada?

No I am not joking. And no, it's not because Obama is president. (I know that's what you're thinking!)  Long story short, PTs sister and hubs/2 kids live in the GTO (Greater Toronto Area for you non-canadians). His grandparents live 2 hours north of TO. PT wants to be closer to his family and wants DS to know his family and cousins.  There's other factors too- I could list my pros and cons, but it would take all afternoon. We're at the point we're were looking to sell our house regardless, its either take the plunge and move to the GTO or stay where we are and upgrade. What to do, what to do...

  • ha! LOL. I can't even get the lingo right, I've been calling it GTO for months and he just ignores me at this point. Richmond Hill is where his sister lives. The rest of his family are in Minden. I just don't know..

  • Richmond hill is the north end of the city.   More expensive than where I am, i think, but easier to get downtown. Toronto itself is a fantastic city.   Lots to offer, great people.  The weather is the shitts.

  • Where is your family from?  How far away will that be?  Is that a factor or not?
  • my reasons are: Pros:I would rather the baby be raised there.I would be able to get into a profession that I'm more interested in, or stay at home if I wantedI dig SIL and BIL and my niece and nephewPT would make more $$$ and get out of being a stinky PTI like that you call Z's "zed"Cons:I would no longer live in America!!Besides the fam, I would have no friendsI hate high taxes and communist recycling laws. I'm leaving my family behind. I've worked really hard at establishing my career, and would have to leave thatCanada doesn't have TargetMy gut says it's best for my family, not too sure yet if it's best for ME.

  • The first thing I'm going to do is take you to the market in my town.  The body hair on the organic farmer ladies will make you crazy, but the urge to buy the beautifull organic produce for peonybaby will suck you in.

  • you guys really don't have target in canada?!   i was unaware of this.   i have such an intense love of target, that would honestly affect my decision to move.
    image
  • I know.  It's a real problem.   I've sworn never to cross the threshold of another WalMart so that leaves me with Zellers. I'm getting by but it's a hardship I must bare.  Bear?   Yogi?

  • On the plus side, you guys have fun names for your money.  We don't have anything as awesome as a looney.
