An Immigrant Journal
I live in Ontario, not too far from Niagara Falls. On this page I will make regular "immigrant journal" entries about everyday living in Canada the way I see it. No heavy discussions, just my reflexions on life brought to you with a bit of humor.
This winter has been a roller coaster ride, and it's not over yet.
We're pretty lucky here in Canada compared to some places in this world.
The value of the Canadian Dollar has been going up a lot in the last few months. Is this good or bad for the Canadian economy? Many Canadians love the higher value of the Canadian money. Products imported from the USA become cheaper, and when Canadians travel to the USA, they can buy more for their money.
It is important for immigrant families to know their roots. Where did our ancestors come from. Why did they leave. What was it like when they moved to Canada. We should keep an immigrant journal as much as possible, so that this information is available for future generations.
The first winterstorm of the season arrived this week. School busses were cancelled, and 700 accidents occured during the duration of the storm. Adjust your speed to the conditions of the road and increase your chances of not being one of the 700.
Different countries, different wedding traditions. In October our daughter got married here in Canada. Most of our family lives in Holland, and some of them came over for the wedding. There is a lot of difference in tradition. Having attended wedding in both Holland and Canada, this event gave me the chance to compare the traditions in those two countries.
We had an election in the Province of Ontario. From the day I was allowed to vote in Canada, I have exercised that right. I have voted in every Municipal, Provincial and Federal Election held since the day I became a Canadian Citizen.
