One of my best friends is a Canadian.  I convinced her buy a home in Tucson. It didn't take much convincing!  What's not to love about so many sunny warm days, big skies with gorgeous sunsets, sunrises and millions of stars, giant suguaros, breathtaking Catalina Mountain views, easy access to Mexico, San Diego, California, Las Vegas, Sedona, New Mexico, Utah.  The airport is convenient and cute (purple).  Call me for a tour next time you are in town.  Always happy to pay referral fees and will respect and value your clients!!  Here is the latest article re Canadians flocking to AZ: http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=7399562
