"There is no way I could have done this anywhere in Britain or anywhere else in Canada. In Britain, the costs are crazy and the staffing would have been very difficult. I would never have ended up with the standard of people I ended up with here, and that probably would have been the case elsewhere, like Vancouver or Montreal."
