Sting Canadian Barrow Downers

So, the american BD-ers are having their own convention. personally, i cant and dont want to travle halfway across the continent. So why not have a convention specifically for Canadian and northern US BD-ers?

I'm totally game. I, too, cannot afford to travel down to the states for a convention. Something a bit more local would benefit alot of us Canadians, eh? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sorry for bothering you as I'm not a Canadian but may I come too? I know my way around Alberta (Calgary, Banff,Sylvan Lake, Red Deer etc) and can get a plane to Toronto quite easily. I think I may not have enough money for this year but if you hold one next year I'd love to meet you.

I am stuck in NB. I just got posted here from Edmonton. But soon I will be posted to Ontario...something I am NOT looking forward to. (No offense to Ontario people, its just the circumstances of my move uhm-well to put it bluntly-suck.)

Well, no complaining. At least its not Afghanistan.

Manelwen! Finally! Someone who's lived in my beloved city!

And yeah, we are all kinda scattered, aren't we? I definately don't want this in Saskatchewan (no offense, it's just so bloody boring in that province). But I've noticed everyone either lives in far western or far eastern Canada. (so far) And the only compromise I see is Saskatchewan..and that's just not...well, uh. Let's go to Nunavut instead, eh? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Ah yes, and HAPPY CANADA DAY! (Belated, I know. But I was busy that day!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

I've never been to Newfoundland. i don't really travel in Canada much - i've never been further west than ontario (where i live [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]) i've gone to PEI though. i do most of my travelling in the States (i've got tons of family and friends there), and i go to India when my family's financial status allows us to take the trip (and when it's "politically" safe to go there).

This is from a while ago but Galadrie1, I will see you tomorow.

Perhaps what we could do would be to have several conventions, like one for each probince or something. I think that this will be way to hard to try to organize but if somebody wants to (NOT ME!!) go ahead and I would try to come.

Sorry to mess around here, as I'm not Canadian, but in *counts on her fingers* 2 years, I am perhaps going to Canada for a few weeks. Don't ask where, 'cause the arrangors(sp?) are also concidering Estonia. Don't wanna go to Estonia yet.
And in 4 years I'm moving to Canada for a year (either Vancouver or Toronto).

Well, I'm hoping to go to Toronto (No offense, any Vancouver's who may be around) but there's that small economical thing. I can't find any precise numbers, which can tell me which city is the cheapest.
Anyways, if you hold a Canadian BD-thing, can it wait 4 years?
