Like the other thread but for us Canadians, because they left us out.
So which province or city would you rather live in? besides the one your currently in.


I guess other people can answer in this because Canada is so cool and everyone wants to live here. And all are hockey teams kick ass.

Id choose Kelowna BC, Calgary AB.

Around montreal would be nice, not necessarely on the island.
The west cost is nice also, Vancouver is gorgeous but to $$$.

You know theres like 100-200 people in Nunavut. and the only way to really access it is by plane, and building a house would be cheap as hell (igloo) ;)

Heh. I know, but I would absolutely love to live on my own up there. It'd be like a massive camping trip. I know that I wouldn't last up there for too long, but it would be a great experience. The long-term prospects aren't too high when you need to live in an igloo and hunt fish and whatever. p-)

Around that, it gets to -50C where I am (cental AB) in the winter, it F**king snowed today and yesterday. So yeah the summer high temp in Nunavut would be -10C to 0C

If I had a choice of another place in Canada to live I'd have three choices...

Merit B.C. - because its but f*ck no-were and alot of nice wilderness
Tofino B.C. - Well what can I say? Its a tourist hot-spot, great place to meet ladies ;)

And if for some strange reason I was forced to live outside of BC I'd definately move to the "Cottage Country" of Manitoba/Ontario

Its not that bad unless your up at the pole.
At CFB Alert it doesnt even get that cold in the summer.

Didnt you hear? The Canadian people rised up against the fintinian invasion and kicked their forces out decimating half of them.
The president of fintinia was too busy to realize cus he had his interns **** in his ***. p-)

So you want to live in my old stompin grounds eh Bastard? Winters in Merritt are moderate and the summer temps can get a little toasty around 35-40+ degrees. Was quite windy but it has settled down in the last few years. The thing I loved about the town was that it only took about 5 minutes in certain directions and you have lost all sights and sounds of town. Great way to relax. Music Fest was a bitch though. 100,000+ people in a city who's population living in the town is around 9000. Talk about cramped. That and the music the play there sucks ;)

If I had to chose a city to live in I would have to chose Victoria B.C. or head back to Merritt.

In all honesty, and I'm likely going to get toasted for this . . .

Toronto.

Swear to PANTS, that city is the best. I haven't lived in every city across the country, but I've visited a lot of them. I lived in Toronto for like 7 months and they were the BEST.

Waterloo ON is also a very nice place, but my second choice for anywhere in Canada would be Victoria BC. 3rd? Probably Ottawa.

Take care all.

Actually, not too bad. From my experience, not as bad as many other cities not so large.

Then again, I spent more than 3 years living in Taegu, South Korea and on many a day visibility was less than 4 blocks. What's the point of not smoking in a situation like that?

Humid? Not really. I would say it's kinda like dry and slightly hot weather, under that condition sweat would
just evaporated.
