That's on you for being slow.

That's on you. Also, you failed to answer the question (go figure): What will you say when, as is likely, this rape ALLEGATION turns out to be a RACIST HOAX? Stop being easily sidetracked by the feminist, gay, green or nazi statement. I'M BLACK. Neat-o. The question, and the point, remain. Answer the question. Tawanna Brawley redux, anyone? O ye educated ones, please remember something for us zygotes (i'm just a lowly MIT grad, afterall)- when this DOES turn out to be a HOAX, when the accused collectively sue their accuser and win, and Mike Nifong the D.A. (stands for dumbass) loses his bid for reelection, remember how MILLIONS of people saw this outcome from miles off...except for you, and realize that you really aren't that bright after all. Remember that for us zygotes, will ya? Thanks! The previous commentary was posted where it was posted due to your not having a commentary post space on the appropriate blog. That’s on you.

I understand that there are some disenfranchised members of society that have a requirement to see rape as all-pervasive, and that is how they garner feelings of importance, self-worth, etc. Victimization. Understandable. Sad, but understandable. So what happens when this allegation turns out to be nothing more than a RACIST HOAX, as is likely the case? Who will apologize to the real victims, the accused? You may be a feminist, gay, green, nazi, I don't care. Right if right, and this chick looks more like Tawanna Brawley each and everyday (which explains why no Jesse Jacksons or Al Sharptons have joined the bandwagon. They want no part of this hoax).

Is there a specific appeal or feature that Canada provides?

Universal health care.

An attorney general who isn’t Torquemada.

Non-involvement in the war(s).

Higher quality of life with much lower cost than where I currently live.

Vancouver’s warmer in the winter than New York, which is warmer than Toronto.

Mountains and ocean.

Without them, It would difficult/impossible to get your hands on the type of information Raincitygirl is giving you right now. Vancouver landlords are pet-phobic? They're moving the bus lines around 2008/2009? Betcha you won't find that info in most publications--even the most up-to-date. This is what’s great about online forums/blogs.

Why Canada? Why Vancouver? Why not Seattle where you can practice law without having to retrain and intern? Why not Fairbanks which has lots of wilderness nearby? Have you been there before, do you have friends or family there? Is this another chapter in the life of a travel-junkie? Is there a specific appeal or feature that Canada provides? What I usually encounter is people who are transferred to other countries, but rarely do I encounter people who just chose to pack up and move to another country, unless they're fresh out of school and they want to travel the world. Your decision sounds very exciting. Are you practicing your Canadian accent? The curious want to know :) What you haven’t shared with us are the most interesting details of your decision to move.
