I passed with 26 and I live in Canada and was born and educated in the UK but I'm by no means a patriotic Yank. Hi Ceri, I've lived in the US for 49 years now, and my wife is a dual US/UK citizen. We are in London today, an have been touring the UK for the past week. The whole world just finds it funny how you guys down there just go on and on about how grand your not so grand nation is. One century you guys will step out of the bubble and look in on yourselves for the first time and see what you guys really are as a whole, or is it a hole? Regarding your comment about our "not so grand nation", I suggest that you concentrate on improving your own nation and let us work on improving ours. Both the UK and Canada have plenty of problems you could attempt to improve if you chose to expend your energy that way. During our tour here in the UK, my wife and I have been talking about how the UK now feels more like a third world nation than the first world. We love the people here, but they are being royally screwed by their system. We will be happy to go home to the states. The cost of living here is more than double what it is in the US, and the wages are about 1/2. That is why we have so many displaced Scots an Brits living and working in my hometown of Austin TX. My next door neighbor is one, and my wife works with four or five. We also have loads of Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Eastern European, etc... I have an aunt and uncle who are Canadian citizens. They have plenty of criticisms about Canada and its politics to talk about. Believe me, we in the US are aware of our problems, and there is plenty of internal debate regarding almost any issue you want to bring up. It is easier to recognize a problem than to solve it. But if you really feel that Canada is the best place to be, I'll be happy to try to redirect the millions of immigrants (legal and otherwise) that are coming to the US each year to your doorstep. Regards, Don W. |
