I used to follow this forum for a while and finally decided to join. I am really happy that I found this source of information from great people.
I am a Leica man, also used to work with Trimble for several years and now we are hooked up with Topcon (another field SW I have to learn :-)).

Well, after you try I-Gauge, and Javad, you will be ready to make "full circle" and go back to Leica! 😉
Where I'm coming from, is I wish I were knew it all.

I visited your fair City about a year ago - then over to Victoria and the surrounding area. Had a wonderful time there. I'm thinking that would be a nice place to retire.

Since "JV" isn't a term that is used in Canada our new friend may be puzzled as to your meaning.

No doubt for consumption by an American audience. Canadians adapt to their surroundings. Most of them, my wife among them, can easily pass for Americans if they wish to. Many can even pass as French when the occasion calls for it.

Junior Varsity Vancouver was how he described Seattle.

Thanks for explanation.
But what I learn from history (I wasn't born in Canada), it was I think around 1860-ish or earlier the area of Washington state could be a part of BC but due to the lack of interest of British empire it stayed within USA and later BC could be annexed by USA.
Well, you were close to be a Canadian. 🙂

I assume they want to only when in the US.

Many Americans try to pass as Canadians when outside the US, to get a friendlier and sometimes safer reception.

My first wife was Canadian, born in Comox, BC. I'm real sure she wasn't indicative of most other Canadians..there were instances she had a hard time just passing as a human being...;)
