We just moved from the US to Canada last week and I can tell you first

If you don't mind me asking, why would you move to Canada?

I also give it ongoing consideration.

I hear the
taxes are really high.

They're socialists. What do you expect? At least they come right out
and say it instead of pretending to be something else (as the US does).

I was reading the other day that they want to
enact a mandatory child care tax. You pay it whether you have kids or
not, whether your wife is home with the kids or not. It pays for a
socialized child care. They were saying some house wives will have to
go out and find jobs in order to pay this new child care tax.

Gosh, that sounds a lot like taxes in the US. A sizeable chunk of my
income goes toward educating (or at least testing) children and I don't
have any.

Strangely enough (and to get back on topic), aviation is one of the big
sticking points for me moving to Canada. I understand that it's alive
and well in Canada and was an integral part of opening the vast
wilderness, but I really hate the way some of it appears to be run.

(I have *no* experience with flying in Canada but I'm likely to get
some later this year when I take my wife to some ICAO conferences.
Perhaps I'll change my mind.)
