Anyone else here hate Canadian truckers?

[DoesntMatter]

Oh, and as for Ontario drivers, its b/c Toronto is the centre of the universe.

Well, it's at least the center of Canada and the most productive city in Canada

[DoesntMatter]

but i bet it's nice for when you don't want to go to work! snow days are the best!

It would also be nice to get snowed in with you for a few days

[anachronistic]

That is a ****load of snow.

[Illusional]

Me, my dad, and my sister have had so much trouble with Canadian truckers in Canada before.

keep in mind that you are in a different country and they probably abide by different rules.

Fixed. ______

I get the feeling Canadians who live outside of Toronto aren't very fond of it and have an inferiority complex with it. Just a hunch

[IndiReloaded]

Oh no, I've lived in the Toronto area, so I speak the truth. Its like LA in the summer. Dirty, smoggy, too many cars, dirty beaches. Winters are just brutal from the cold & snow.

And I bitch about Vancouver too. For summers, you can't beat it. Clean, beautiful mtns, great hiking, right near the ocean. But the rain in the winter just, frankly, sucks. 3-4 months without ever seeing the sun would make anyone depressed. I feel sorry for those who can't afford to get away in the winter.

That's why I'm moving to a sailboat in 10 years. I'll just move w/the nice weather.

Toronto doesn't get much snow being on the north side of both lakes

I don't know about Vancouver summers, I've never been there but does it even warm up? I want my summers in the mid 80s at least, otherwise it just doesn't feel like summer

But still, if I had to live in Canada, it would be Toronto

I think DM, if you ever came to Vancouver you would change your mind about Toronto. Most people prefer Vancouver to Toronto because it's prettier and cleaner, and has far more of a personality. It's not an inferiority complex. I've been to Toronto, and I'd never live there. It's bland and boring and dirty.

As for weather, it does rain a lot, very similar to Seattle. It maybe snows twice a year, and it melts the same day. Summer is usually a comfortable heat.....about 25 to 28 degrees. We do get our killer days that go up into the 30's though, and that sucks because it's humid heat. Ugh, you just sweat to death at night.

Well DM, if it helps to know, for our last move we had to choose b/t Boston, San Diego (La Jolla actually), Washington DC, Montreal and Vancouver. And we chose Vancouver.

Toronto wasn't even on our 'to consider' list. If you want to get a sense of the urban sprawl (I wasn't kidding about it being like LA) just look on Google Earth.

And, Toronto can get quite a lot of snow in winter. Its not just the weather from Ls Erie & Toronto, there is a huge lake region just north of Toronto that causes a ton of snow to get dumped there.

When you get a chance, visit Vancouver. After the 2010 Olympics it should become a reasonable place to live again.

lol I know what Toronto is like, I've been there a dozen times. I wouldn't call it dull though by any means, they have a lot of raves and probably a lot more than Vancouver just by means of being larger

Yeah though, if I lived in a nontropical climate, I would want to have at least actual winters with snow covering the ground for a solid 4 months. That would rule out Vancouver I suppose

After my sister finishes her masters she wants to move to Virginia or Maryland. She has been living in Michigan for the past 3 years and previously lived in Rochester, but she likes the Maryland area I guess

Personally I'm probably going to end up living in Florida

haha no, by western NY standards Toronto snowstorms are mad weak

[Aegis]

Whoa, your sister's in Michigan? I'm guessing the A2 area? Does she need a date?

[DoesntMatter]

No my sister goes to Michigan State and so is in East Lansing. And she doesn't need a date, lol

Why, are you from Michigan Aegis? What part? I'm going to Grand Haven in a couple of weeks

sonuvabitch. damn spartans.
