Simple question, just choose you'r favorite city. (and say WHY you love this city)


For me, I really enjoy Montréal, but i've never really travelled everywhere. I like Montréal and québec city for their old thing and thier culture, but Vancouver seem to be really amazing in term of quality of life, beauty and with a lot of environnement, I don't know why but the air seem better in vancouver :P

Montreal.



Very hot women, great skiiing not too far away in winter, great food, great historic architecture, La Ronde, a mix of languages and cultures, pure craziness aaaand...

The best thing about Montreal is...







It's the only place on Earth where you get strip club, strip club, strip club, La Senza, Future Shop all on the same stretch of a street. :lol:

A close second for me would be Quebec. Tied for third are Ottawa/Vancouver, and fourth is Toronto.

All are very close in their points. :wink:

Ottawa is a great city in summer; great street life in the Market, the Glebe and Bank St. I really miss spending summer evenings on the Patio of the Arrow and Loon. Too frigging cold in winter though, all that infernal language BS just makes it too tedious to live there.

I think he means the bilingual crap which I don't blame him. I've never been to Ottawa so you can call it ignorance on my part but I don't see how a society can function when two languages are warring with each other, especially when one should be the dominant over the other. Stop signs and others that no language really needs to translate but costs Canadians millions anyways. Stop....Arret....Are you telling me a french person doesn't know the significance of a stop sign or what stop means?

Ottawa? No, a nice place to visit but to live? I'd probably have to be forced to learn french just to live there. No thank you.

I chose Edmonton.

I've never found it to be an issue. People speak English and French on both sides of the river here and there is little to no hate of each other's language. services are available in both languages and many people are fluent in both.

French and English seem to co-exist fairly well in Ottawa...

Yeah but if I wanted to get a job in Ottawa, even at McDonalds, I'd have to speak french right because if some french person orders a "le big mac" I'd have to speak to him/her in french right?

Besides, you probably already speak both languages which isn't an issue with you anyways.

Actually, no.


Of course, being bilingual is preferred, but not necessary. I know tonnes of people who speak only English and can still get jobs easily. Being bilingual in a great asset on a resume, but if your not bilingual it doesn't mean that you're blacklisted.

I can sorta speak French, but I'm waaaaaay out of practice. :lol:

Like I said in the above statement, it isn't really an issue. If you're bilingual, great. If not, so what?
