So... Whats for lunch?

[P.C.]

I'm dumbfounded.  Here's another.....$179,000  (change to $1.79 mil here) on acreage backing on to a park.

really? I guess I'm just accustomed to seeing victorian homes. That's all the farming homes here are old victorians. Only thing you've got to watch out for is termites.  

[P.C.]

Your termites must be more vicious than ours....the last house I posted is brick. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

  Overall, the realestate prices in most of the areas is about one tenth of what it is here.

  Here is the cheapest home listed in Nanaimo.......$33,000......and that's not counting the land that it's on.....which you would be paying $322 a month for.  (A mobile home.)

I'm accustomed to seeing Victorian Homes as well.....but not for $65,000.  Nothing like that under a couple million.

well location location location. Its on the west coast, near water, and near mountains.

Missouri, middle of nowhere, super rural, and housing prices reflect the economic outlook of the region.
 

[P.C.]

True SD......and all in all, it's a stupid comparison (on my part)......but I'm still amazed.

[Sportsdude]

population of 200 people.
hehehe
you'd be bored.

Hey Michel (changing the subject a little....lol)......out of curiosity.......

  As a French Canadian, what would it mean to you, if product packaging in Canada were printed in only one language. English.  

[Michel]

It would means that this country is not our country. When you think that a translated word cost around 14 to 25 cents and that there's maybe 1000 words at the most on any package (printed millions of time), and that this little invesment and mark of respect allowed the producer to have access to 7 millions consumers in Québec, and around maybe another 400 millions worldwide, then if this producer don't even do that, there's a problem here. There's even more a problem when you see in USA stuff printed in English and Spanish, which is not an official language in USA. And you see also stuff in English, Spanish and French.

Whwn I see PUSH  EMPUJE on a door in Wyoming or Dakota, but only PUSH on a door at less than 5 km from the border of Québec, in he national capital of my country, well I feel there's something wrong in this country. And a few ecade ag, such anmalities could even bee seen in Montréal, which is still the second largest French speaking town in he world...

So what it would means to me ? That I have no country.


 

[Michel]

I must say by the way thtYukon is amazing an d an example for the res of this country. All public signs are bilingual there, English and French. Even instructions in campgrounds.  

[P.C.]

Interesting.

  It's one of my peeves....but of course I'm only looking at it from one side.

  It costs businesses, and consumers 2 billion dollars a year.  There is only a 1.4 % french speaking population in B.C.  Aside from the cost.....it MAKES ME CRAZY that I need to get out a high powered microscope to read the instructions on everything.
