I like everything about Canada, and I love Canadians. be they English er French (they used to be thick as thieves in the ole days on Cape Cod)...and I love the fact that PEI is like Cape Cod before it was destroyed by overdevelopment. What I would like is to find a wee place (not new, something well lived in and loved, but not too big) that would suit me in very old age, as well as holiday making between now and total geezerdom (I am no spring chicken, as it is, but I won't admit to great age until I am on a walker!).

I think I might like a place near where the "regular folk" live as opposed to the wealthy Japanese tourists--halfway close to things like the grocery and the shops and a hospital and whatnot that the regular folk patronize...somewhere where one can become a bit involved in the community, but not be sucked down the vortex, if you know what I mean. I'm a bit of a hermit at times, at other times social...if I could find a community where there's a bit of togetherness, but not TOO much, I would be quite pleased.

I've seen a few places in a town called, I think, TIGNISH, that caught my eye. Do you know anything about that neck o the woods?

I'd like something that is good for the odd holiday, and then better still for a nine or ten-month stay in my dotage (I'll head to the Carribean at the worst of the winter). I do think I will be heading north, I've just a bit more property to unload this side of the line!

I've looked into citizenship, and think I will follow that path. Nothing wrong with two passports; hell, my ancestors were immigrants as well...and I've a decent pension and would not be a drag on the economy, so I guess they just might take me!
