@jakedduck1 I just heard that Calif would fit 5 states within its borders it's that big.We can share for sure to Canada

@jakedduck1 While Canada's taking your excess Californians, maybe they could stop in Chicago and pick up, say, 30,000. It would really help with traffic, etc. Thanks.

@jakedduck1 Jake, I don't think transplanted Californians would survive our northern climate. Plus, our pure and wonderful air would be blue from all the cussing and complaining when the temperature dips! Right now, we are ecstatic over our WARM AND WONDERFUL weather cuz we're finally up to 40*F. Warmest regards, Laurie

@leonard ... i was born in uk and lived in outskirts of London; my mum was born in very poor circumstances down by the docks on River Thames... i wish i had asked her about her life more before i left and came to Canada at 18... i had visits with her after but never asked her about it. her dad died in early 20s leaving his wife to raise 4 children on her own almost starving while she scrubbed floors and did laundry. once a week they heated up water on stove to put in tin bathtub and the FIVE of them, from youngest to older took a turn having a bath in the same water... could not afford to heat more water.... and so on. And we complain because theres nothing on tv we are interested in.....All four children grew up with basic eduction,worked and had families and, main thing; were happy!!! my parents never complained .... well util mum got alzheimers and her personality changed... Husand and i are not travellers but went to san francisco 3 times as girls working there; once 2 weeks after 9-11...that day one daughter was at san fran airport waiting for plane to toronto.... as millions of others, will never forget that day. We loved SAn Fancisco.... only other place we were Florida and twice los Vegas for weekend.
Canada has plenty of room for a lot more people but people want to go to the larger cities of course where there is employment and entertainment. Winters would be ok if not so darn long.... now i have forgotten the medical reason for my chat..... oh yes, Dad had ear issues but i was living over here and dont know what he did to help himself... i do know a quick story; he bought some very cheap eye glasses while on holiday by the Sea, after was having major issues and falling etc. i don't know how long it was before they discovered that the right lens had been put in the left side of glasses and vice versa... true story! poor Dad!
