    I’m Canadian and we’re very America lite.

    I grew up in a small town and I miss being young and spending so much time getting to know my neighbours or random people at the diner.

    People feel less friendly the last few years, but when you get to know people they are nice. But that consideration for our fellow man is weak lately.

      This is why I moved out of a metropolis to a small mountain town. We have our share of assholes and dipshit tourists, but a lot of people genuinely care up here and it’s much easier to be of that mindset when you’re around people of a similar ilk.

        Nelson? Revelstoke? Golden? Or proper little like New Denver or Kaslo or something? Considering that change for myself after having already gone from Toronto to Okanagan. Keep finding myself drawn to those kinds of places.

        Edit: Previous comment said Canadian, just assumed you were Canadian! Sorry.
