Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
you must have forgotten your Canadian experience already. lol
Yes, location does make a difference, as well as the mentality or culture of the humans around. Life is different everywhere there is life. No people think alike or behave alike, individually, and in group fashion. However, there is basic commonalities, such as fear, love, pain, disgust, pleasure, and a few more.
You will enjoy for sure the change. Being a Canadian, how much do I like going to warm countries where everybody live mainly outside and are apparently welcoming.
Now that you are relaxed and happy, let me tell you why I found disconcerting your judgment on Canadians. First, you were expecting us to be exactly like Americans. Eh no, the whole world is not American (i am glad about this), we have different laws and different ways of doing things.
Second, I have traveled quite a lot, not only traveled, but lived abroad. And believe me, even if cold, Canada is a nice country to live in (as long as you can afford 2 weeks per winter down south lol). Most people are sympathetic, violence is minimal (when comparing of course), women are quite free to go anywhere without too much danger. If you ask, you will rarely be refused help from passerby, except in very large cities.
So, ok for not liking the cold, but overall, your judgment was not correct. However, I do respect your guts of getting out of what felt wrong and taking all your family and doing what feels right.
I am sure Virgin Island is great too.

Have a good time
Edit: Rakhyt back in Texas would agree with you Target about the cold.
