Quote from: Brent on July 01, 2025, 01:16:29 PMThe difference between New Zealand and Canada is that we should be the richest country in the world. But, globalists like the entire Liberal party are engineering our collapse.

They are. We have to stop them.

Quote from: DKG on July 01, 2025, 11:01:44 AMI've heard just about everything is more expensive in NZ than Australia. And NZ wages are lower than Australia too because their productivity is lower.

That is Canada compared to the US. It is more expensive to live here and we have lower salaries because our productivity is so much lower.

Quote from: Lokmar on July 01, 2025, 11:57:23 AMI'm shocked that the cucknadian dollar is worth about $0.50 british pounds! I would think tourism and business from the U.K. would have helped your economy weather anything!

Tourism does not butter Canada's bread. Resource extraction does and the Liberals are blocking that.

Quote from: caskur on June 30, 2025, 11:13:09 AMNew Zealand is very expensive. Mainly their realestate. AND THEY talk funny...

They seem to mix up their e and i ..

So when the say six it sounds like sex.

And when they say sex, it sounds like six.

It's very strange.

Quote from: DKG on June 29, 2025, 10:13:08 AMTo give an analogy that caskur can relate to, Canada is like New Zealand. That country brings in a lot of immigrants relative to it's population. Most leave when they get a NZ passport. Too many NZ born young people do the same. Most go to Australia, just like most Canadians that leave choose the US.

Quote from: caskur on June 29, 2025, 03:20:34 AMIt's the middle of winter here, minimum is 12 and maximum will be 20. That's a heat wave in Canada....lol

You'd be surprised; Ottawa in the summertime it isn't uncommon to see temperatures in the mid thirties. Coupled with the humidity (there's a lot of surface water in the Ottawa Valley) and it's comparable to 42 in Melbourne in terms of comfort. You get an hour or more daylight in the summer there, that goes a long way to heating things up.

The winters are something else, especially on sunny days. With no cloud cover to trap the heat, it can regularly drop to 20-30 degrees below freezing, with wind chill making it feel more like minus 40. I've managed jeans and a tee shirt at minus five with no wind chill for ten minutes without trouble, I've also made the mistake of looking out the window, seeing blue skies and forgetting my parka on the way out the door. It... well, it takes your breath away, that much I can promise you. Rugging up is really the only defence you have and even then, a stiff wind and that chill goes straight to the marrow. And it can fucken hurt like a motherfucker.

And that's in a relatively temperate part of Canada. I shudder to think how bad it must get out in the prairies or the maritimes, never mind heading up to the Artic circle. Appreciate that and you also appreciate the kind of ratbag animal that turds like Carney and Trudeau are for insisting on green energy solutions where fossil fuel makes far more sense.

Quote from: caskur on June 29, 2025, 03:20:34 AMAt the top of Australia we have 2 seasons, one is the dry and the other is the wet season...

Canada has two seasons too... "winter" and "construction". Because you can't do a lot of building when the ground is frozen solid. Swing a mattock at the ground in winter and it's akin to trying to pickaxe your way through concrete. And speaking of concrete, that stuff gets brittle and rots if left unprotected (as does terracotta) so if you've any planters it's generally a good idea to store them in a barn or a garage.

You would like the sunsets I think. Less orange than you are used to, more of a pinkish/blue colour cast. And the autumn.... mile after mile of red and golden leafed maple trees. No photo does it justice, though I know that wouldn't stop you from trying.

But a word of advice; if by any chance you get to travel there before the liberals well and truly fuck it up, try to avoid the city snow melts at the beginning of spring. Black snow turning to brown slush, revealing the months of accumulated trash and dogshit. It's not the greatest of experiences, lol.

That is SG.

Quote from: Shen Li on June 28, 2025, 08:09:34 PMIt was tolerable when Canada was prosperous and free. We used to have GDP/capita equal to the US. Now it's way less.

Quality immigrants don't want to settle permanently in Canada. Young Canadians and immigrants already here are leaving for greener pastutes like I did.

Canada will be a 3rd world country in 15 years thanks to libtards.

I thought it might be less humid in Singapore this time of year but according to you, it's not.

At the top of Australia we have 2 seasons, one is the dry and the other is the wet season... both are hot but the wet season is humidity from hell. It's also called Troppo. Or going Troppo and it means the wet season sends people troppo or Mad.

There are more germs around in hot climates.... keep plenty of Isocol (rubbing alcohol antiseptic) around and any cut skin put some on.

Quote from: caskur on June 28, 2025, 10:00:45 PMHave you acclimatised to Singapore's weather yet Shen? It would be less humid atm.

 

Oh ya. Having a pool really helps.

I'm still getting the flu more often than I did in Canada. Every building has the AC blasting and then you go outside in the humid air.
 
We only turn on the AC at night. The rest of the time we use fans only.
