Vancouver Gloating - My flowers are coming up!

[Myka]

Up here in the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range there is 1 1/2 - 2 feet of snow. The ice roads are still holding up. It's only been -10 or so for the last couple days, but last week was -25. No signs of spring here!!!

I for one despise Vancouver. I have visited many many times, and lived there for awhile a couple years ago. I think it's a cheap, ugly, drug infested, cement, wannabe high-class disco city. I think the perfect theme movies to go along with Vancouver would be Trainspotting and Studio 54. Sure it has it's perks, but it's seriously the most off-putting city I've ever been to. Calgary is better, and that is not saying much at all!

You've obviously never been to Toronto.

Whoa Whoa. Whoa! I may not like the grey winters but I lived in a few Canadian cities and Vancouver is the best. I have lived in:

Montreal - Lots of snow and culture.
Toronto - Boring concrete.
Halifax - Friendly and fun.
Calgary - Fine as a kid, would not want to live there as an adult. Too conservative for my tastes.
Vancouver - Excellent outdoors possibilities. Nice climate other than the grey winters.

It's not about where you live, but how you live it and frankly we all sit and stare into
a large and for some even larger fish bowls. So what do we know. And how many of us
actually name them, huh!
