I hadn't really considered the coasts because of rain - even though I know the west particularly is wonderful country, the rain would depress the heck out of me. PEI - Anne of Green Gables country! All I know about Newfoundland and the wild sea is from Annie Proulx's The Shipping News, which did indeed make it sound bleak. As far as flat featureless plains - heck I could go to North Dakota for that. The Canadian Rockies maybe? Sounds like I need to take a coast-to-coast railroad tour to get an idea of the land.

Newfoundland is just a terrible place. Gorgeous as all getup, but since the cod moratorium, nobody has any work.

Jum, where is war eagle land? Sounds very Texas...

All of B.C. is the Rocky Mountains. Stories about lots of rain are exaggerated, except for the west coast of Vancouver Island. However, its actually nice when it does rains here, and it keeps everything beautifully green. The weather changes alot, it'll rain for an hour, then be sunny, then rain some more, then sunny again. I like it, the air always smells nice and fresh here.

East coast is severely depressing imo. I hated everything east of B.C. so im biased anyway. B.C really does spoil you for living anywhere else. And anyone who comes here for the first time doesnt want to leave. Theres tons of people from somewhere else, living here now, that would tell you the same thing. Half the people in B.C. are from somewhere else.

edit: Yeah ive always wondered where war eagle land is too.

To be honest, who the hell knows anything about Jum?

Winnepig is full of racial tension? Me and my family were going to maybe drive up there this summer, maybe not. How is Calgary, I met two girls from their in Chicago and they were cool as hell. I also know a lot about Oakville,Ontario because so many of the 130th is from there. I've heard Quebec city is nice, but then again that was from a French Can, and you know they toot their own horn :).

It IS nice. Thats why I'm moving there. I've been in a lot of places (quite a few European countries, a large number of US states and all but 2 Canadian provinces), and I can say Quebec City is amongst the "cool and nice" places of this word, certainly because it is the most european and oldest (as in XVIIth century-ish) looking place in North America. Its much different than standard cities, and nothing beats touring the old city within the walls. The citadel is nice too, and the city itself has a very good nightlife and is very well kept. I don't say that out of blind patriotism, or "we ar teh best lolz!" nationalism, because I'm incapable of doing that, and because I will readily admit I don't think Montreal is "nice" in anyways, I'll admit the road system in this province is worst than Russia's (watch out for the holes, you can fall in them and eventually reach Japan) and that the region I live in (Centre-du-Quebec, don't go near or you'll fall asleep) is of incredible boringness.

However, Quebec City IS nice, and I can also recommand the region of Charlevoix if you like forests and mountains. Mauricie national parc is very nice, altho you need to go there in summer. If anyone wishes to go in Quebec City, they might as well come tell me "hi" on the way =p

I have been in BC last winter. I planned to work in BC in the winter should I not get accepted at university. I was actually sad when I got a positive letter from them :p

130th in Oakville? Must be some smack causing agent from the Ford plant in the water. :)

:). Literally 10+ members are from oakvile or the surrounding the area, another 10 are from LA, another 10 from sweden, then the rest scattered about the world. It seems to me everybody in oakville has a swimming pool and is old :).

My grandparents lived in Oakville. Have a couple of friends there, but yeah, they're all so OLD there.
