What's your favourite Canadian city??

[SmileyBoy]

And I better not see 90 percent of the votes for Toronto.:)

[Skink]

1. Vancouver Eh....

:spank: :headbang:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. You're only two posts away from 1000.

[Skink]

8. The thousand club.

:headbang:

[Redstone]

2. Montreal. It may not be as clean as the others,

but there's a diversity and energy there that can't be beat.

And there are more scorchingly beautiful women in Montreal than in every other Canadian and American city combined.

Redstone

[tuvor]

6. Beautiful women?

Have you even BEEN to Vancouver?

(Full disclosure: never been to Montreal.)

[Redstone]

9. Than you gotta go there. They have that French / Euro

kind of sensibility, if I'm explaining it right...they care about how they look, and want everyone to know it.

Ask anyone who's ever been there, and they'll back me up on this.

Redstone

[KurtNYC]

24. Here is a sample

We can only show you the #2 most desirable because #1 might be too much.

30. Yowza. That reminds me, Jill Hennessey was born in Edmonton.

AND she has a twin sister!

[enigmatic]

31. Isn't she a twin?

I thought I read that somewhere..

[tuvor]

60. Yeah, I think you read it...

...in my previous post.

:P

[HEyHEY]

36. As a raised in Vancouver guy -0 Montreal is WAY better, better than europe

Too, according to the guy I met from France

[GirlinContempt]

50. Winnipeg

has so many beautiful women its deadly. The straight men here are in heaven.

[driver8]

58. I was at a Montreal Expos game one time...they had these "usherettes"

that would walk down the aisles between innings to make sure that no one tried to sneak into better seats.

Every one of these women were drop dead gorgeous...it was unbelievable to me.

[tuvor]

3. Vancouver, definitely.

Not to big, not too small.
Not too gay, not too straight.
Not too hot, not too cold. (Except for that sonofabitchin' 1998.)

Oh, I was going for a lengthy theme, here, but that'll have to do.

[Orsino]

25. Hoping to move there within a year or two. n/t

[GOPisEvil]

4. I have limited experience with Canadian cities, but I pick Vancouver.

:thumbsup:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. Vancouver!

[enigmatic]

10. Shoot me, but I like Deadmonton...

For what it is, it's a great city, and a liberal oasis in CPC-driven Alberta.

But my favorite place is probably Drumheller, AB, in the Canadian Badlands; we want to move there when we get enough money to bug out of Edmonton...

[enigmatic]

11. And Winnipeg, too..

And Vancouver for it's primo weed..

[Canadian Socialist]

12. Ditto on the Winnipeg

love. It's a progressive city with loads of parks, a FREE zoo and beautiful lakes all within about an hour's drive. The air is clean, the cost of living is low, and it is the capital of a socialist province. All hail the 'peg!

[enigmatic]

14. yep

If I had come to Canada by myself instead to be w/ my wife, Winnipeg would have been my choice...

[chaska]

17. Socialist province? What's that about?

[Canadian Socialist]

19. Manitoba has an NDP government

which is considered to be left-wing (read: socialist). I am a card carrying member of the NDP, living in Alberta. Feel my pain.:scared:

[enigmatic]

32. Ha!

I live in Edmonton, and when I become a citizen I'm joining the NDP, too. We just went to the NDP rally in the Westmount Community League Hall not too long ago..

[u4ic]

33. I'm in Brian Mason's riding

:thumbsup:

Then again, most of the people I know are in the arts, so I don't feel too out of it...

[SmileyBoy]

18. I third that thought.

Winnipeg, IMO, is the BEST city in Canada. And the best part is that most people don't know that.:)

[GirlinContempt]

51. Woot!

Hail winnipeg!

[u4ic]

34. Do you mean figuratively

or are you commenting on the spate of crime this year? ;-)

A couple of weekends ago, I watched a carjacking on my street (I didn't know it at the time, just some idiot driving erratically and what I thought was someone calling for help). Apparently, there were a number of other witnesses down on the street and called the cops.

Drumheller is beautiful; I used to live in Lethbridge, and with the exception of the bible belt (I was taking my BFA, so I hung out with artsy types), I liked living in Southern Alberta. The winters were much more tolerable.

[Canadian Socialist]

59. And I love the museum there

The Royal Tyrell museum of Paleontology! Fantastic. I really hope the fundies from south of the border and from the bible belt here in Alberta don't start doing any of that shit that they're doing at that zoo in Tulsa (not sure if that's where it was) with the "Intelligent Design" shit. What I love is that it is now the "Royal" Tyrell museum... which means the Queen of England (Liz Windsor) has put her stamp of approval on it. That should shut up the neo-cons in the area because they LUV!!!!!!11!! the queen. She rocks!.

Anyway, enough sarcasm. I also enjoy the HooDoos just before you reach Drumheller. You can always find some fossils there. Of course, no touching! Just take a note of where they are and let the professionals look. That is not sarcasm. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure I would have no idea how to excavate fossils. Better the big guys do it.

[yvr girl]

13. What's not to love

Vancouver

[tuvor]

28. For a couple of years, my commute to work was to walk

across the Burrard Street Bridge.

And if it was raining, a Granville Island Ferry was in order.

Hard to beat.

[saltpoint]

15. Toronto for me.

Clean, effective world city. Great mass transit.

And Gordon Lightfoot's office is there.

[Not a robought]

16. Vancouver

Hands down. I've lived in Toronto most of my life but the west coast suits me just fine.

[Left_Winger]

20. Charlottetown, PEI

I have only been to the maritime provinces, so my first-hand knowledge of other Canadian cities is limited.

[HEyHEY]

38. LOve Charlottetown

[terrya]

21. Toronto! My home away from home. Although, I'd love to visit Montreal,

[kwassa]

22. I'm going to Quebec City next weekend; what is it like?

I've only been to Toronto and Vancouver in terms of the major cities, and the ever-beautiful Windsor, Ontario.

What is great to see in Quebec?

[In_The_Wind]

23. I've never been to Canada

[Deep13]

26. Possum Lake

And if the women don't find you handsome, at least let 'em find you handy.

[TX-RAT]

27. Gimli, in Manitoba.

Home of the Crown Royal Distillery. We always land at Gimli, then drive to Pine Dock, to catch the Float Planes out to the lakes.

[Canadian Socialist]

46. When I lived in Winnipeg

during the summer we would drive up to Gimli early on a Saturday morning when the fishing boats were coming in. We'd buy some fresh pickeral from the fishermen then go down to the white sandy beach, build a fire and fry them up in some butter with pepper and lemon. What a beautiful way to spend a hot summer day! I sure miss that. No lakes or fishing (of any note, at least) around Calgary.

[Hand]

29. No... no... (sigh) You're all wrong...

Gad. It seems I have to everything around here. The correct answer is Halifax. Good lord, even the simplest things seem to elude you people sometimes. :hide:

P.S. The French navy's visiting here this week. Hide your daughters! :rofl:

[HEyHEY]

40. Yeah Halifax is amazing

[HEyHEY]

35. Quebec city is unfairly behind

Look at it!

[Parche]

37. canada

Seattle!!!

[CTLawGuy]

39. Montreal

I'll be going next month. It will be awesome.

[HEyHEY]

42. Good description

[CTLawGuy]

43. I agree

:)

I like canada a lot!

[chaska]

47. What, it's full of beer and power tools? Please elaborate. Geez!

[CTLawGuy]

48. beer, yes

maybe I should have qualified that with STRAIGHT guys. What do straight guys like that gay guys don't?

:)

[HEyHEY]

41. I love Vancouver, Vancouver is my hometown!...

(Vancouver BC, Vancouver BC)

Great song

[HEyHEY]

44. God, not victoria - it's full of tools

[sasquatch]

45. Toronto, the capitol of Canada*sarcasm*

"No, the capitol of Canada is Ottawa"
:crazy:

[Hand]

54. aka "The Centre (sic) of the Universe"... nt

[MrScorpio]

49. Toronto is my kind of town

Yonge Street
CN Tower
CITY TV
Subways
Chinese restaurants
CNX

Nice people!

Yeah!

[GirlinContempt]

52. You think the people in Toronto are NICE?

sheeeesh

[MrScorpio]

53. They were nice to me when I was there

I can't complain.

People are always nice to me.


I've got this "nice" vibe" or something going

[Hand]

55. The Friday open bar is a most endearing quality... nt

:beer: :yourock:

[VOX]

56. I'd have to go with Vancouver...

I've lived on the West Coast of the U.S. all my life, and Vancouver shares the same ocean! :)

It's an incredibly beautiful city, and would make a great home town. :thumbsup:

[flamingyouth]

57. Vancouver

[Zuni]

61. Vancouver was the most fun and BC is the coolest province

but the junkies in Vancouver are really scary---worst I have ever seen anywhere. I saw a girl dozing off on the sidewalk with a fucking needle in her arm---just sticking in her arm while she nodded off. Un-fucking-believable. I almost cried and barfed when I saw that.

[njdemocrat106]

62. In 2 weeks, I'll be visiting Canada for the first time

Niagara Falls and Toronto, ON. It'll be my first time outside of 'Murrica, too.
