Sandbag Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) WHAT were they thinking......????? They immigrated to Canada in 1968 to give their children (me) better opportunities in life. I can only assume that all the photo brochures they looked at were taken during the summer! Wasn't there any Carribean countries accepting immigrants...lol It is a beautiful day here today now that the snow has stopped. The sun is shining and it always looks beautiful with fresh snow. All joking aside, I'll bet there are plenty of OFNers out there that have their parents courage and determination to thank for the opportunities they have had. Sure would be a big step heading to another country and leaving all your friends and family. Have a great day everyone Cheers Craig Edited March 9, 2008 by Sandbag
Gawel Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 The snow is just a minor setback for being able to live in this country. Your parents and mine and many thousands of others couldn't have made a better choice. Thanks for bringing that up as sometimes I forget how difficult it must have been for them.

TJQ Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Difficult for them..... my ancestors have been shovelling the damn stuff here since 1621!!!
Deano Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I'm thinking of moving to Africa, it's warmer and the commercials say you can feed the kids for less than a quarter a day.
Roy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Difficult for them..... my ancestors have been shovelling the damn stuff here since 1621!!! We must be related...my folks came here in 1634. I still have a clip of their arrival on Youtube. My dad's side of the family was English, my mother's side was French but they quickly enough were Canuckianized as they went to school in Iroquois immersion.
Rattletrap2 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Deano, Now that's funny! I don't care who you are!
