welcome

Hey man, welcome. I also came from Poland back in 1988 and since have noticed that the level of conversation in Canada is limited to the comfortable lifestyle that people here live. I notice many people like to stick to the 'everyday' and enjoy doing the 'group' things and talking with the same expressions, about the same mundane things, while drinking their Timmies and sports teams. Poland was much different when we left, it was much harder for us and hence we are forced to evaluate life and look at it differently the majority of people born in the comforts of Canada. I also find it hard to connect with most people/friends here in Canada, for example most discussions at the gym I go to start with, "How about those Jays", or "Did you see that game last night!"... yawn.... Still remember having an argument with my 'friend' in high school telling him that at times our family had no food in the fridge. He compared that to him not being able to eat anything in the fridge because of his strict diet. He actually believed it too and tried to argue it as being the same. Also have know people in Canada that work for unions, and comfort jobs that their parents had and they can easily get into, buy a home in a nice suburb, a cottage up north and retire as soon as possible so you can spend more time up north staring at nature and drinking cheap Canadian bear. On a plus side, there are many immigrants here in Canada. I would suggest you hook up with them. My best friend is Taiwanese and we have a lot more in common then my Canadian counterparts. :-)

Thanks we got someone already and they are already VERY helpful... Dr. Yeung Lee in Unionville, or north east of Markham... ;-) Thanks for helping!

I remember there was a "find your therapist" section in the old forum. Is there one that exists in this new one? Googling for a therapist in my local area seems non-promising. Would rather trust suggestions from this forum, I am local to Toronto, Canada.

The bill made it considerably easier for teachers to introduce creationist textbooks into the classroom. Outraged, he wrote a research paper about it for a high school English class. Nearly five years later, the 19-year-old Kopplin has become one of the fiercest — and most feared — advocates for education reform in Louisiana. We recently spoke to him to learn more about how he's making a difference." more here
