Every time I see this thread I think, “I will.”

Unfortunately I do not represent Australia’s immigration policy in any shape or form

Sadly, I got to that part too late.

Sigh. And you were such a bargain too. 😉

I’ll throw in a Canadian two-dollar coin as well (I need the fiver for lunch). Keep in mind that Canada is both metric and (right now) increasingly cold, and you will be subject to occaisional outbreaks of French and atheism. P.S. _Je suis homme._ 😃

Wow! How on earth did I miss this post yesterday??? Not only would I be interested because I hear Canada is beautiful, but I like their politics, need to learn both metric -and- French, am tired of our boring old money, and am a Deist with Agnostic/spiritual leanings. What’s a little atheism got to, got to do with it?

😃

Do I need to fill out an application above the twenty Finnish marks? Just point me to the end of the line and I’ll be happy to take any available appointment.

And thanks to **Elysian** too for throwing me into the mix. I definitely need all the help I can get.

Wait, wait, wait! I’m still here!!! I haven’t gone anywhere (yet), I swear. What’s _your_ offer?? Hell, I don’t care, I just need a friend or two, a different local and decent cuisine. Lay out what ya got and we’ll negotiate.

TWO PEOPLE! I tell you, this message board is _awesome_!

Maybe we could start an auction thread for every lost Doper looking for a home 😃

Thanks, **don’t ask** , I needed to hear that today 🙂 It’s nice to hear I’m wanted.

Are you a big city kinda girl, or looking for something on the smaller side? If you’re interested in small town, let me wholeheartedly recommend Guelph, Bracebridge, or Bobcaygeon (Bobcaygeon actually has an excellent S&M farm. They have a “strictly supervised gardening program” to die for). Stay away from Huntsville. Freaky freaky people there.

I know someone who knows someone! My next door neighbour works with a guy who grows bonsai trees. You want I should call him?
