I've got Canadian-British citizenship, Britain is, after all, better than Australia.

As well, Canada is the senior Dominion in the Commonwealth.

Errr....according to whom?

Let's see: so much rain and so many clouds that the English practically go mad on days when the sun comes out..vs....sunny, gorgeous beaches everywhere you turn?

Hmmm. Tough one. :P :wink:

Edit: Ted, obviously you can't have seasonal mood disorder if you think Britian > Australia (at least when we're discussing climate). :D

As much as I like Australia, I give it a zero for its ice hockey leagues if there is such a thing.

Actually we do, but we aren't that competitive in that sport. It would be about the only one. After all, we've even won World Cup Baseball...

I should really beat you for that, but I'll let it slide, this is only your first offence.

If you do come to Australia, you would inevitably have to choose between the two major cities to live in. They are; Melbourne and Geelong. Everything else is a boring shit hole :twisted: :P

LOL! They are all good things!

Other competition cities: Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba.

Take NRL for example. Broncos are by far the best team! State of Origin: The Broncos vs the best of NSW :P

I'm Canadian and I say MOVE TO AUSTRALIA!!!! Forget Canada. Sure Canada has one of the best if not the best hockey players in the world, but that doesn't make this country a better choice. Canada is a non option. Take Australia pleeeeaaaaassseee! And take me with you!

Having lived in both countries (I just realized I've been on every continent except Antarctica, wow) I have a slight preference for Canada, then again I admit I'm slightly biased since that's where I was born and grew up. It's kinda weird how Australia has an uninhabited desert wasteland while we have an uninhabited arctic wasteland, they're hot while we're cold, it's an interesting study in contrasts.

Do you know it only rains twice a year in Melbourne? Once for 6 months, once for 4 months.
