[quote=poorgradstudent][quote=FlyerInHi][quote=mrkenneth]I am one of those pesky Canadians competing to buy an affordable property here. All because American landlords are so greedy! Back in Vancouver, landlords run charities and rent out properties below cost.[/quote]

Are you buying a second home or as a full time resident?

My Canadian friends say that Canadians are better at saving money… Do you think it’s true?[/quote]

I think *on the whole* Canadians are more like Midwesterners… they don’t care as much about flash, style and status symbols as California and the East Coast do.

That said, Toronto itself reminds me a lot of New York City.[/quote]

Vancouver is all about flash. Supercars are a much common sight than here.
