muggs Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I mean this in all seriousness. I recently went to Toronto for the second time in my short life and ever since I've been trying to convince my girlfriend that we should move up there. Unfortunately she doesn't see the beauty in it. But those huge bucks, Hockey Night In Canada (when they actually play) and a public medical system, and the fishing too, what's not to love. Less crime, less pollution, stronger beer. Man... do you guys realize you live in paradise?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguide Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country Yeah man if Toronto trips your trigger wait till you see the rest of Canada-I saw more 'wildlife' on Yonge St. then I ever have in Sask.

fisherguy Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country Ya, Toronto is far from representative of canada(thank goodness ) Just don't get too excited about public healthcare, when you have an aging population suddenly the system can't be supported and the quality of care goes way down . But gotta love the wildlife, scenery, and hockey like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggs Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country don't get me wrong, if I could go anywhere it would be Sask, but I'd have to learn how to spell it first, before I'd ever think to vist. I wasn't really praising Toronto, but it is a nice place. Have you guys ever been to Pittsburgh....enough said. Toronto was just the last place in Canada I've been to. Winsor's a dump, but when I was 19, I was up there at least twice a month. If I did come out there, I'd teach you canuck boys I few things about hockey (I'm just kidding, so save the comebacks ). Hockey and big bucks, my dreamland. Unfortunately Ohio hockey is mediocre, but the deer huntings good. Oh, I forgot the best part, a Timmy Hortons on every corner and "THE BEER STORE". That is simply the best name for a store I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country Hey Muggs my buddy played for Cinncinatti a few years back-went on and played for the Leafs so it's not all bad down there lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country Ohio has Mike Rupp to bragg about, he was a good friend of mine in junior high, and then he went on to score the Stanley Cup winning goal for the Devils a few years back. He was a high draft choice, but never really went on to do much. I think he plays for Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palssonater Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country There are times when I am taking a walk, when I stop and listen. I can't hear a car, see a highway or a house. No fences, no garbage, no wierd smells, no signs of any other human activity. THAT is when I am glad I live here. I wouldn't trade peace and the ability of solitude for anything. Then a Ruffed Grouse pops up, I shoot it and the dog gets it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbduck Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country I have to agree with Palssonator.....all what he said and then some. I live in the biggest city in our province(pop 800,000), it might take half an hour to drive across it. I have all the big game hunting I do within a hours drive. Same goes for waterfowl and upland. Got the Red River(catfish!!!) 20 minutes away. 90% of the province is public land. Bear, moose, whitetail, elk, caribou, hogs. All the ducks and geese you can hunt. Five types of upland Turkey All the varmints you could ever trap or shoot. This is just a few reasons I like it up here Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaDeerHunter Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country I have been fishing in Canada before. only to Lake Minaki though. The land is so beautiful. The one thing I thought was intersting was on a long stretch of highway the whole forest was burned like a forest fire maybe. But man I can't wait until my dad takes me way north by FlinFlan, or Saskatoonor Sandy Bay. Great Fishing there.. I just want to see a bear, elk, or moose. But when the sun rises in the morning with fog rising up off the lake, that is the best. And not to mention all the bald eagles! Just some awesome country.

Guest SavageTaylor Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country One of the things I enjoy about Alberta, it's size/population ratio. Alberta is very comparable to the size of the state of Texas, but has less that 1/10th of the population of Texas. There is so much open public land to hunt on, especially up here in Northern Alberta, it would blow your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaskMan Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country Like Alberta, Saska is about the same size as Texas, maybe a bit bigger than Texas. We have less than 1 million people here and so much public ground it'd make most U.S residents ill. And Saskatoon is not north, it is the central locationof Saskatchewan and our largest city. If you want to come noth to the forest you'll have to get a few hours north of Saskaoon. When I sit in my living room and watch the sun rise this morning, I'll see no sign of people, trees, trees, and more trees, and chances are good that a deer or 2 will scoot across my lawn. I'll likely also seen one of the foxes that have a den behind my garden. Solitude is something I would not trade for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saskbuck40 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Re: Man, I love your country Im in the same boat as saskman. Solitude is a very valued part of my life. Theres nothing like seeing deer in your backyard every night. Pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
