If you want to go to Mexico it will probably be more costly.<br />LOL<br />I'm going to write my Representative right now and suggest the solution.<br /><br />MikeMike Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54177179191346311122010-05-10T08:17:31.623-04:002010-05-10T08:17:31.623-04:00Very well put.

We just spent our first winter in Mexico and fell in love with the whole package and can't wait return and explore more!George and Suziehttp://geosuzie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-1482484389218141192010-05-09T20:37:39.574-04:002010-05-09T20:37:39.574-04:00Wild Blue Yonder....I don't understand either,...Wild Blue Yonder....I don't understand either, but some people really like it and they can have it.<br /><br />Susan....I agree that Canada is much cleaner than Mexico and even some parts of the US. I was amazed how much garbage we saw on the roads we travelled on in March down to Florida and back.<br /><br />Anonymous...Yes the west coast is beautiful, but is still isn't shorts and T-shirt weather in the winter.<br /><br />Politically, yes Canada is OK, but even we have our problems. We have very high taxes and the money they get isn't well spent. Every country has problems one way or another.<br /><br />Elaine....We have been to Vancouver Island and I think if we had to spend another winter in Canada that is probably where we would head. As I said before, it still isn't shorts and T-shirt weather.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-63384619090190405202010-05-09T15:04:48.529-04:002010-05-09T15:04:48.529-04:00I agree with Anonymous, however If you think the ...I agree with Anonymous, however If you think the Lower Mainland is nice, you'll be in 7th heaven on Vancouver Island or the Southern Gulf Islands. Until you've spent time on the west coast, you really don't know all about Canada's varied climate. Although I'll always have a soft spot for Manitoba where I spent the first 50 years of my life, I'm happy that I have called BC home for the last 20+ year. The weather is much kinder. I still enjoy Mexico and some parts of the USA, however if I have to miss a winter traveling, I'm quite happy right here on the islands.<br />Elaine in BCElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765156690650782450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42677151362917824402010-05-09T14:12:54.721-04:002010-05-09T14:12:54.721-04:00Weather in Canada depends on geographic location. ...Weather in Canada depends on geographic location. The west coast of British Columbia - the Lower Mainland specifically - offers the most beautiful spring, summer and fall anywhere on earth. Yes, it rains in the winter but it doesn't get extremely cold or humid. <br /><br />I have traveled extensively throughout the world and I kiss the ground whenever I get back to the west coast. <br /><br />Mexico is my 2nd favourite country. Is it corrupt? Yes. Is it cultural? Absolutely. The people are great, the winter weather is wonderful and the countryside is beautiful.<br /><br />Politically, Canada is miles ahead of Mexico and/or the USofA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-67207007493580934832010-05-09T08:14:37.619-04:002010-05-09T08:14:37.619-04:00I'm not disagreeing but Canada is not as corru...I'm not disagreeing but Canada is not as corrupt as both Mexico and the U.S. Human rights are not a problem in Canada. It is a safer and cleaner country.
