    Canada has the illusion of freedom and is not heaven. You are free as long as you do what they want you to do…. How do you all feel about this issue in CR? Oh, and thanks for the good vibes you just sent our way….it’s sad to think people feel that way but I suppose some feel that way here too…

    Now, the question you didn’t ask but which must be addressed is whether crime here is significantly worse than it is anywhere else. You’ve not said where in Canada you’re coming from, but if it’s one of the major metropolitan areas then you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Costa Rica’s crime rates, according to the best data available, are lower than any of your major Canadian cities. And they’re lower than virtually all U.S. cities. And they’re lower than other Latin American countries and much of the rest of the world. (quote)
    Thank you for your feedback thus far! We live in the Interior of BC, in the Okanagan Valley, so not a big city by any means (nearly 200,000 in the largest city in the valley). We really appreciate all input! 🙂
