(Thanks Shredomaniac )

   

i mean really there's nothing from New Brunswick there either...

way to neglect the east coast there...

   

Are there more towns then Halifax and Charlottetown on the Eastcoast?

You're right though, I don't see Fredericton, or Moncton, or even Miramichi...

   

or saint john in nb..

   

Or Grandbay

   

where?? ha ha

   

Canada only has 13 cities? How about a none of the above.

   

i wont vote for any of those cities cause my favorite city isn't there

   

well i picked ottawa but there were several other smaller cities which i like that didn't make that list

including kamloops/kelowna area

and in ontario - kitchener , peterborough , barrie/ wasaga beach area ok well these are more small cities i guess .

   

INHO there should have been one from every province and a none of the above option..

   

Bilingualism in Ottawa is a one way street. It’s all about bending over backwards to accommodate one language.

Anglophones in Ottawa really have limited career options. The biggest employer in the city, the federal public service, has since the 1970s been turning into a french only club. You’ll find little actual bilingualism there. Municipal and regional government are only marginally better. Besides, since amalgamation the city of Ottawa has bigger problems than just language.

In the 1990s the french first attitude started creeping into the private sector. A language quota put an end to my wife’s career with her employer. I had a pretty good job with the city but wasn’t french enough to ever move beyond the job I was doing.

My wife and I both spent the later part of the 90s in a constant job search. Most interviews ending after one question. By 99 we decided the only way we’d ever have successful careers, own a home and accomplish all that other stuff young married couples aspire too was to leave the city we were both raised in.

The rest is history. We have had success here in Calgary. We took possession of our first home one year to the day after our arrival here. Our son who is almost four has had a stay-at-home parent from the day he was born. And we’re now looking at semi-retirement at 45. We’re even considering buying a small condo in downtown Ottawa just so we’ll have a place of own to stay when we visit. However we can only spend three weeks at time in Ottawa before the language BS that drove us out of the city in the first place really starts to get under our skin again.

   

pppsssttttt there's two from BC

   

I noticed, that's why I said Thanks to him

I agree with you!

Although BC is MUCH bigger than NB, NB deserves at least one
