Aussies

A lot of land, and not many people. Hard to get to, and plentiful beer. That's the right idea IMHO.

RE: Aussies

The whole attractive aspect to Australia is that it is such a pain in the rear to get to, that there are not so many tourists/litter/people. Canada is a hop skip and jump across the border from the US. Plus, there are lots more people there than Aus. So, not really the same, except for the Queen. She's the same...

RE: Aussies

For once and for all, we do not have accents. How do I know this. Because where I work I talk to americans all day. And Every Day people will say to me...

"Where are you guys located?"

I say "We are just ouside of Vancouver BC Canada."

They say, "Are you Canadian?"

I say "Yes I am."

They say, "huh, you don't sound like a Canadian."

Sooooo... Just because you see in movies, where we accentuate any little nuances we have, I assure you, the only accent we have, is a lack of one.

RE: Aussies

That's because you are talking to those with similar accents. It's a big abooot fest, and everyone in canada is invited.

RE: Aussies

im sorry but in England, the Canadian accent is very very often confused with the American accent. They both sound the same from our point of view. (No offence) :)

As an Australian I can assure you people that we do, in fact, have the right idea.

RE: Aussies

I would hazard a guess that after your little outbursts, people care even less what you have to say, little TK.

Anyway, back on topic, I lived in Australia for 20-something years, and I think that they definately have the right idea. Great lifestyle.
