We selected our place in Sunnyside to not require us to move ever again.

I already live out in the 'burbs ... though the 'burbs in Shanghai have better transit service and amenities than inner city Calgary does!

I know all about the problems with affordable 3 bedroom apartments, as I'm in the same boat. Looking to buy a place here this year, but with a budget of only about 1.1 million RMB (~$175,000) that limits me to suburban areas (can't afford more because of the requirement for a 30% downpayment). However, the prices here are on the decline, so it seems I can get a 3 bedroom place within walking distance of a subway station within my budget, so that's all that matters to me.

What are regs concerning children of Canadians born abroad? Does she get Canadian citizenship?

I've said this one before and I'll say it again: Babies are weird.

Congrats, though.

Nolan is now 7 months old and is trying to grab everything, including my DSLR.
He was literally just inches away from my lens.
