> Let's just ignore the fact that MS has a development centre in Vancouver Wow, MS centre! It will save us all. And they don't have MS centers anywhere else, right? Vancouver here. * All of Canada has as many my profile job openings as Seattle. * Salaries are lower here than there. * Taxes are higher here than there. * Prices are higher here than there. * Selection of everything is miserable here. * It's impossible to have a career if you can't talk hockey for 2 hours. Nobody gives a f$%k about your abilities - you must be "one of us". > How's your health care? Pathetic, thank you. I just waited 4 months for an ultrasound. They said everything was OK - but why then would I have insisted on it in the first place? > BC starts to become very, very attractive Do you have a house for sale? Because it sure sounds like it. BC does not start to become very, very attractive to anyone ambitious and able - and these guys will go to US for the same reason that all ambitious and able Canadians move to US. There are M.D. taxi drivers and Ph.D. WalMart cashiers here - because their names are Davinder and Reza rather than Sean and Tim. No doubt, BC is a great place for natural resources barons, drug traffickers, porn and gambling shops, and bribe-happy Party officials from China. It's extremely neophobic, hypocritical and hostile to changes. YMMV
