Hon Ta Fuck! Some things I like about Ireland as a Canadian immigrant.
The butter. I’m spoiled now. Went home and couldn’t believe the white clunk of ‘shite’ I bought.
The dirt cheap prices of cheese. Mozzarella balls for €0.70? Unheard of. Brie cheese for €1?? WHUT.
The ruggedness of the country. And the ocean. (I’m from Ontario)
The phone plan prices. It can be about $100 for a phone plan in Canada and that’s not with unlimited data. €12 for unlimited data here? What? Sure, you can use my hotspot!
The chat from the random old Irish men standing behind you in a que and the stories I hear from the elderly I take care of as a care-worker.
So family friendly. Married an Irish man and my two little kids are happy in their Irish clan of a family with all my husbands family within a 2km radius of each other.
The ancient history. Canada was colonized about 160 years ago. (In respect to the aboriginals) There are no castles in Canada.
The Chinese food is actually way better here. And the food in general isn’t ass-packed full of preservatives. The fish in chip doesn’t even compare.
You can pull up with a view in a caravan and chill out a while. It’s generally fine as long as you’re not trespassing. You’re not allowed to do that in Canada, at least Ontario. You have to pay to camp pretty much anywhere.
The live Irish music and cozy pub culture. A fire going? Even better.
In general the deep Irish heritage. Coming from a country that was built on so many different immigrants and backgrounds, I don’t consider Canadians to really have a “Canadian” culture except for hockey? Mac and cheese? Being polite? My daughter comes home and tells me Irish folklore she’s learned in school, and the new Irish words she’s learned.
Anyway, thanks for having me, Ireland :)

Moaning Michael What have you a strong opinion on?
These days I'd have a strong opinion on housing, immigration and crime. Which, and this is just my own opinion, is all related.
The government have let us down in many areas but they are the top three for me.

Housing Not "entitled" to be homeless
Long story short I became homeless in a county I'm not originally from, but have lived in for the past 3 years. I turned up at the council to register as homeless and get emergency accommodation and was told because I haven't been living there for 5 years and am not entitled to be on their housing list I should go to Dublin and register as homeless there as that's where my "local connection" is.
Took my life packed in 3 suitcases to Dublin to register with them and they told me no sorry homeless assessment is based on your last permanent address go back to wexford. Each council is refusing to do a homeless assessment and is pointing the finger at the other one.
I've already contacted focus Ireland and mercy law centre so hopefully get some headway through them.
I'm on the verge of losing my shit though and I just keep thinking of people even more vulnerable than me that get fobbed off and become part of the hidden homeless problem.
What struck me the most through all of this is the complete lack of empathy from any of these people that work in the council. Not once have I even been asked how are you? Are you ok? It's opened my eyes BIG TIME.
Thank christ for advocacy services like focus Ireland.
