I can see where you might think that, but those places felt so foreign to me, and Whitehorse does too!

BTW for Malick that's pretty good. And I kinda agree with her honestly. It was once said about CSIC, my professional body (Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants) that it's run by a board full of amazing, talented, honest, ethical consultants who think every other consultant is a crook.

Everyone wants a fucking handout and needs to just STFU and get out of their way before they stomp them, is their attitude, it feels like.

I felt like I was on a movie set! I felt that way in Montreal for a long time too, really.
