It's not that I dislike Southern Ontario, nor that we don't take advantage of all of the things you mentioned. That being said, the possibilities are endless. Having lived somewhere as astonishingly beautiful as Vancouver Island makes it hard to settle for less, and if we get an opportunity to re-locate and raise our son somewhere where smog and brown rivers aren't a daily reality, we may just jump all over that. We may just stay in the KW area also, just entertaining our options, that's all.
