But it always rains there.

But yes, Go West Coast! Woo!

[Hobbes]

Not really. Here in the Georgia Lowlands, it's a drier climate than the rest of the west coast.

I'll consider living in BC after the government's fixed.

[Hobbes]

You love the NDP too?

In other words, you might, just might, retire there.

I keep hearing about muscular, studly lumberjacks working a sweat in western forests of Canada.

I'm only interested in the muscurlarly female lumberjacks.

Ah, you've heard of me!

One thing that struck me about Montreal that was different than where I live (Boston area, Massachusetts) was the contrast between city and country. You would drive for hours on these endless streets of plains and such and then BAM, out of nowhere there is Montreal

The only real urban sprawl you'll see is in the southern part of the Windsor-Quebec corridor (i.e. Toronto + the surrounding 100 miles) Montreal's island location helps contain it, but in recent years there's been movement in that direction.

To whoever asked the question about strip joints: Montreal's the place to go.

I'm sure that picture Asher keeps using of his home town has been doctored.

I got it from images.google.com
Who knows

That is a real view though. They've got benches up there and expensive houses.

It looks far different right now though, we just had a snowfall.

Here's another from a different angle:

Wow! Instant response.

The colours are way too vivid. Looks like a Japanese cartoon city.

The trees get green from the river that flows there.

Just to prove that Toronto is not an urban wasteland. Here's a pic from near my old neigbourhood (off to the right side of pic). On either side of the highway are woodlands and the Don River.
