well... The cafe I'm at will be looking to get someone around september as I am leaving in October... I dont know what your looking for. Its in COllingwood around two hours north of Toronto... Super nice little town with good people and a ski hill, which is fun if you ski... i dont, but hell, its nice to look at.. lots of areas for hiking in the summer and swimming and very close to nature... If your looking for city life it may not be for you, but if you just want a change of pace for a while, maybe you'd be interested.... but we still get cold winters.... and its canada, so may be hard to get a working visa.. anyhow, its a thought

Dominy is the dominator. I think he just sits and watches the whole internets and waits for someone to say something about coffee. Then he pounces, leaving a trail of spent grounds and steam, along with dropping some knowledge bombs on some unsuspecting baristas. A fierce force to be reckoned with.
