I think you need to get out of your parents' house for a while, travel the world (and I don't mean to places like Paris or London) and see how the majority of the earth's population lives. Perhaps Africa, or Latin America, or perhaps somewhere like India or other Asian countries. Go live abroad somewhere. I think you need to leave your nest in order to gain perspective; Canada isn't perfect but we have it pretty damn good here. It sure as hell is cleaner here (and by "here", I mean Vancouver...Toronto can be le stink at times and filthy ~ I lived in TO for 1 year) than any other place I've been to (except for Singapore, but we all know that that is a rare exception).

And I don't think Edmonton would be for you, to be totally honest. It's flat and land-locked (Toronto at least has a waterfront), and in my experience from living in Alberta for 2 years (albeit Calgary), the people are not particularly sophisticated. Edmonton is also pretty isolated, so there are not great road trip options, unless you want to go to Calgary (3 hours drive and it's a boring non-picturesque one) or Jasper (which I think is about 5 hours away). Why don't you try somewhere close'ish like Montreal or Ottawa? If you don't like it, you can always come home.

No $$$ right now...maybe in two years, right before I get married. In any case, my parents are probably 100% more liberal than me!
