It is interesting. I mean, for us we really have limited choice as to where we could live when we chose Canada almost 10 years ago. I'm from the States and my partner is from the UK. Our own countries had no immigration policy for same-sex couples, so, if we wanted to be together we had to go to Canada, New Zealand, and a few European countries. I think this has an influence on how we see life in Canada.
We are going to try the one of us stays at home thing - and I think we'll be able to do it financially. I don't think it's unheard of here - London, ON - but maybe it is in a bigger city like Toronto.
We've had no issues with the health care - but we live in a university town with major research hospitals, maybe that makes a difference.
We are also legally married here - and our baby has both our names on her birth certificate from the get go... this makes us love Canada.
