Say it ain't so - Ashton Eaton likely to live in Canada after retirement

Why would anybody care where he lives?

I just cut my left nut off. Where is she?

Canada isn't exactly Mars, you know.

Guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship.

Don't be such a p*ssy, just tell him that yourself. He's not an NBA player or anything. Track and field athletes are fairly accessible. Take a video for us.

Literally who gives a shit. I'm truly disgusted if you actually care where he lives.

I went for a nice run in Kelowna many years ago. I think it is a sunny and nice part of BC (at least in summer).

Will he be the only Black person there?

Smart move.

Seems that he found the loophole to escape the US

The US isn't all that great. Sure, for working it can be ok.

Kelowna is the sunniest place in all of Canada; beautiful long, warm summer days and very little snow in the winter. It sits on a huge lake and is also surrounded by hundreds of vineyards, and is one of only three areas in the world that produces ice wine.

It's also not far from Vancouver which is the most beautiful city in North America (that being said, I've never been to Florida, Alaska or Hawaii, so maybe I will have a different opinion some day).

Good rock climbing, beautiful lakes, pretty excellent place.

I guess Eaton never read this list:

Top 8 Reasons NOT to Immigrate to Canada

8. Discriminatory and Dishonest Immigration System.

Immigration to Canada is based on a point system, obtained with your education, qualifications and job experience. Points are good enough for immigration, but in Canada, they are not good enough to get a job in your field. Amazing, how the credentials that qualify you to come to Canada are the same credentials that don't qualify you for your profession in Canada. The reason is, Canada only wants immigrants to do the labor jobs - pizza delivery, driving taxis, factory work etc.

7. Out Of Control Cost Of Living.

From rent, to utility bills, to shopping, to phone, internet and cable bills, to gas, to car insurance, to eating out, to basically anything you have to pay for or buy, the cost of living in Canada has become astronomical. Recent immigrants are astonished as to how expensive everything is. It is estimated that compared to most countries around the world, the cost of living in Canada is on average five times greater.

6. Health Care Crisis.

Practicing physicians in Canada are in a shortage, 1 in 4 Canadians cannot get a family doctor. Canadian doctors are leaving to move permanently to the United States. Statistics Canada and the Canadian Medical Association both have identified that for every 1 American doctor that moves to Canada, 19 (nineteen) Canadian doctors move to the United States! Doctors in Canada are overworked and underpaid, and there is a cap on their salaries.

5. Very High Taxes.

Yes, you have the GST, the PST, totaling 15%, on practically everything you purchase and many other taxes taken out of our weekly paycheck. You have to pay a whopping amount to the government, out of your hard earned salary, so that the government can turn around and give it to beer drinking, hockey watching welfare bums. Fair? It does not matter, it's Canada.

4. Money Hungry Government.

Canadian Embassies around the world lie to foreigners, painting this picture that Canada is Utopia, because they want them to come to Canada. Why? Because foreigners bring money! So after being deceived, these foreigners come. They must bring with them at least $10,000. Canada has an immigration quota of 250,000 per year. So please do the math, 250,000 multiplied by $10,000 each equals a whopping 2.5 Billion dollars that Canada gains from immigrants every year.

3. No Culture.

Unlike almost every other country in the world, Canada has no culture. Actually American culture is what dominates Canada. When was the last time you had some 'Canadian' food? There are no Canadian traditions and there is no national identity. What does it even mean to call yourself a 'Canadian'. . .nothing really. People living in Canada, still identify themselves with the country they 'originally' came from.

2. Worst Weather.

Yes, Canada has the worst weather conditions of any country in the world. Freezing cold temperatures, snow, ice, hail, winds, storms etc. From the Prairie provinces to the Maritimes, from the Territories to southern Ontario, the weather is so horrific and disgusting that many Canadians leave Canada simply because of this reason alone.

1. No Jobs.

Yes, coast to coast, there are no jobs. Immigrants are highly qualified (MD's, PhD's, Lawyers, Engineers etc.) but they are driving taxi cabs, delivering pizza's or working in factories. Even people with bachelors degrees from Canadian Universities cannot find jobs after graduation. This is the tragedy associated with immigration to Canada. I feel sorry for those immigrants who are stuck in Canada for the rest of their lives. It is indeed a very sad and hopeless future.

Tim Horton's is hiring. "Another dozen TimBits? Coming right up."

Ontario is pretty bad. The hydro costs are insane and the debt is as well. Also a lot of unhappy, vitriolic losers. Trudeau is a money drain and will run Canada into further debt. The current and successive generation will have to pay for it in taxes. Canadian dollar won't be worth anything. I'm moving to the US soon thank God.

'Pretty Bad' is an understatement.

Ontario is a hell-hole. No jobs. Everyone is in massive debt.

It has become a refugee camp for the worst muslim immigrants from the worst muslim countries.

I just hope that the Eatons are taking Samuel Jackson and Rosie O'Donnell with them !!!

he will start his very own CrossFit Gym there and start to learn a real sport.

This is basically what Brampton, Ontario has become:
