Hypewave! Will You Love The Chilly Reality Of Canadian Living
Is Canada really such a wonderful nation to live in as an expatriate, or are there reasons to reconsider relocation?
Published in: Living in Canada - Tue, August 09, 2011
It’s important to invite reader feedback when you’re online and don’t have the benefit of face-to-face interaction with those who access your publication. At Shelter Offshore we have always welcomed and encouraged our readers to get in touch, ask questions and give opinion…but occasionally because of the anonymous nature of emails and forms, we encounter trolls and bullies.
A recent example of this issue was when an expatriate living in Canada contacted us (anonymously) to vent his rage and wrath at having seemingly been ‘duped’ by all the positive hype about Canada. His was, he said, the most miserable existence because publications like ours had ‘made him believe’ that Canada was a good place to live.
Thanks to his cloak of anonymity and invisibility he felt able to be threatening and aggressive. Whilst one can dismiss such small people for their unacceptable behaviour, citing suspected sexual dysfunction as reason for their inferiority complexes, we did take on board the fact that Canada has perhaps been mis-sold through being oversold! So, let’s look at the bad things about living in Canada to balance out our otherwise positive perspective!
