Do you think it's better to raise a family in Panama or in Canada?  Right now we are in the middle of deciding where is the best place for our two year old daughter to grow up and we would really appreciate your input. Currently we are living in Panama. We gratefully appreciate your input!

Wondering if you have made your decision about Panama or Canada?  There are many opportunities and benefits to raising your child(ren) in Canada.  I know specifically in British Columbia, Canada, the air is clean, the people generally are super friendly, the scenery is spectacular and we are known for being good stewards of our environment.  In our community of Cranbrook, BC, a small city of 19000 we have virtually no crime to speak of, several public schools and a private school, every possible sports activity, music, arts, drama programs, and skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, fishing, hiking--very close to several lakes.  We are within easy access to three of the states of the USA.  The one negative is the 12% tax we pay on most goods and services.  You might want to google our city--we have a handful of Spanish speaking residents who are very active in our community.
