Ah... Thats the problem with Victoria the cost of living here is high compared to the rest of Canada, very simular to Vancouver. My costs are 675.00 for a 1 bedroom basement suit (it allows dogs). Real estate here is expensive with alot of houses between 250,000 - 500,000. However you do get a bit of a yard with them.
Cool, we don't help the rest of the world... Like we don't send our military out peace keeping all the time, send billions of dollars to third world countries for aid releif and infrastructure programs and medicine... But we're not nice to Americans. Sort of like how the Americans violated the free trade agreement and posted a tarriff on the softwood that we send down, and won't take it off even though the world courts rule it's illegal. The friendship does go one way it seems at times, it goes from us to you. Mind you most Americans I've talked to and thats alot since I did customer service for at&t wireless were nice and friendly when they realized I had a bit of an accent.
Actually living here in Victoria on Vancouver Island we experience very little snow, and very mild winters (although it does rain a fair bit in the winter). I think it snowed once last winter and the snow didn't last more than a day or two on the ground. In fact last time we had a reasonable snow fall was in 1996 and that caused panic! Not all of Canada is a snowy waistland, just Alberta.;)
