Odd Stuff - when you talk to friends in your old home country

[LH84]

Ahhhh, life seems complicated in Gatineau, I ment Hull, maybe it's Guatineau... never mind!
By the way, is it in Quebec or Canada?

BTW, I have yet to see a moose. Guess I need to hang out in the lobbies of luxury condos in Ottawa.

You will see loads in that area !

lol at all of these! The questions I get asked a lot from my in-laws as we get closer to moving (back for me) to Canada are about the health care. They seem to think that there is only one doctor in the whole country. Like if I have to take my kids to a pediatrician I will have to join a huge line because there is only one in the whole country! Which is pretty funny to me because I never have had as many issues getting in to see doctors until I moved to the US!

This thread is SO much more amusing (in a laugh out loud kinda way where I am compelled to read the responses to my partner) than the "CBSA DRUGGED ME" and the "Can I sponsor my sister as my common law partner?" threads which have kept me reading forum posts the last couple days. I wish I could think of one or two of the stupid questions I've been asked since moving here (from the southern part of the Unites States y'all), but I can not think of one at this time. Thanks Baloo, Leon and others for making my evening!

I do not want to upset anyone, I am sorry for that. I just want to let you know what happened in the world. I am risking my family may be broken forever too, but I am really upset, sad to the bone...
