Any new Canadians on DU?
And by that I don't mean immigrants. I mean DUers from Canada that are new here. We haven't done this in a while.

WHere are you from?
What's your deal?

6. Moved from the 'peg 19 years ago
I still miss it. I'm in Calgary now. Hate. BTW, used to have season tickets to the Jets, when Hawerchuk was playing. Those were the days.

15. I'll try to.
I keep hearing how Canada is an up-and-coming market for architects. Hopefully immigration will let me through just because I'll be an architect.

Winnipeg is my favourite city in North America.

24. Yes, yes we do
and I REALLY need support. Believe it or not, and I don't know if I should even post this, but I work for .... shudder.... the Western Standard. So some progressive support is ALWAYS necessary.

Sakaskchewan is kinda like the motherland to me, even though I'm an expat USer living in Edmonton..
