Booze is 50%+ more in Canada.
Shoes and clothes typically 30% more Don't drive 50km/h over the limit at any time, not just the winter. Instant license loss. And winter tires are not necessary in March, you'll likely get 3-6 snow days max after March 1, less snow in downtown area more in the burbs. If it's really bad a lot of people who are able just work from home, somewhat acceptable here. Most people put on summers in May As far a social scene, I would not want to be anywhere outside downtown Toronto, but I'm biased |

There is no way in hell I would consider driving a rear drive BMW in our winters. Its just too dangerous. Buy a set of winter tires and rims before you cross the border. TireRack should do you fine. Buy Suits and don't forget to buy your Designer Winter Over Coat. Good Luck !!! |

50 KM ph is way too slow, its 31 MPH. Is this the same limit through out the year on highways like interstates?
Or is this is a restriction on state highways or streets? |

Thanks for the warning, it made more sense about 50 kph over the posted speed limit warning after reading the bill 203. I wonder how many people ended up paying 10,000$ fine.
I decided to rely upon the continental extreme contact DWS and my safe driving skills for the next 9 to 10 months. Will consider winter tires for next winter' sometime in Nov or Dec 2013. |

They take this speeding/racing thing much more seriously than they used too. And with good reason anyways. |

Why not?? I own a lot of them! Assault rifles too!
Actually you should check the gun laws in Canada if you are bringing them. You can't bring in full-auto guns, guns with barrels that are too short (e.g. HK USP Compact), and 30 rnd mags. You need to get a Canadian firearms license first before you import them too. Otherwise you shouldn't have too much problem at all. I might buy a DD M4v3 from the US and all you have to do is register them. As for the car thing, I highly recommend winter tires too. In Toronto, RWD is ok with winters...I think you could even get by with all-season tires but when the roads get bad, the all-seasons aren't that good. Fortunately for Toronto, they use so much salt here and they're really good on the salting/shoveling that the roads are often bare if you wait a bit after a huge snowfall. |
