I'm not saying she's that bad, still Canada seem pretty
poor in talent compared to UK! You probably need a
change in scenery. I was lucky that way; I moved from
Montreal to Toronto with my significant other 16 years
ago. It was pretty much like moving to another country.
Had to learn the language since I spoke about 5 words in
English at the time. Seriously, I couldn't speak more
than 10 English words! The most difficult part was
finding a job!

I don't know what time it is in England but here it's
pretty late... Time for bed soon!
