Vancouver Forum: worst place to live in canada??

It is true that a lot of Canadian cities are quite ugly. Generaly cities like Toronto and Calgary are not known for beauty - they are industrialized business cities and thats about the truth of it. Victoria and Halifax ( in its nice south end Point Pleasant Park areas) are somewhat nicer. But the ugliest city in Canada in Southern Ontario for rankings is actually Mississauga - where less than 1 in every 10 people say anything good about it - the style of big buildings and banks on flat cornfield.

Southern Ontario had a crap winter this year!!!

For tourism and entertainment one could say that Mississauga Ontario could win the awards for being ONE of Canadas ugliest places. The tastelesthese communities on the outskirts of Toronto, especially as they continue to just develop and get bigger, and where there is a fair bit of unrestricted development like this going on. s buildings on the flat landscape give it its reputation. The planning is horrendously bad in some of these areas.

Depends on the time of year you also look at Canada in and the specific plac ewithin it. A lot of it can be offputtingly ugly in March and April but nice in other months. The mid-fall ais said to be quite nice in the Quebec Maritime/Atlantic region when the leaves are warm and golden and there is mix of yellows, oranges and reds. In spring, the west coast can be prettiest.

Generally prairies because of the long, cold winters.

tHE COUNTRYGENERALLY - In England the countryside is much more cultivated. In Canada it is sticky. You are much worst if you are generally living in rural areas of the country.

So I am beginning to learn about all the characters here. Bart does not like uncomfortable weather or very ugly places. Dick seems like he prefers to be in cultivated major centers.

Newfoundland just had a CRRRRRRRRRRAP June this year. (That is usually not unheard of or unusual anyway), but look at the forecast - today is frigging June 28th, tune onto weather network/env canada - they had NINE BLOODY DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON. NINE DEGREES CELCIUS! IN ST. JOHN'S! That is so unfortuanate - it is almost bloody July!!! That just is not a forecast which is good enough. That could be the WORST place to be in Canada today!!!

I live in Halifax - which is nice in the summer - it is green and pleasantly not too hot in late spring/early summer. Other than that Nova Scotia OTHERWISE IS very low. The climate is but a step above Newfoundland (Still below 10 ) daily Max in April everywhere and not warm until June unless you're in the Valley. There are 2 nice places in Nova Scotia - the Halifax area and maybe Wolfville (thats puny but anyway). What do we have? We have Yarmouth, which is a parrochial fishing town. We have Amherst (which sucks) industrial Cape Breton (other than nice parts of Sydney is mostly run down and tarponded and dirty) and Truro (flat and commercialized and conservative to the country level. New Glasgow (even worst, working-class but parrochial and dirty on top of it). Antigonish is dead. Other than that everywhere else is you know what COUNTRY. Some things are nice - the Cumberland/Pictou countryside. More over, they play that horrible folk music every where you go and go around with that ugly stupid ridiculous tartan which is faked anyway. Just read the Quest of the Folk. and drive trucks and don't know wheres east and west of Bridgewater. I don't believe in fashion, Im casual, but they look AWFUL. Young Nova Scotians are the type of people who are SO DIRTY they make you vomit. My parents unsuccessfully try to teach me the importance of being CLEAN - which is futile in Nova Scotia because the average resident just gets up in the clothes they SLEPT in anyway. But my parents are very naive people who do not understand the urine - smelling fishing shack place it is STILL at their age. MMMMMYYYYYY bull-dog could lick and wash them if I would even allow him to.
So you think I have time to play for the Bridgewater or the New Glasgow Volleyball team? or the bloody Cape Breton screaming Eagles? No way!!! %$@#! you!!! And they don't like intelligent people in Nova Scotia. They say that their #@$*&^% horrible workplace of low class people my dad is forcing me into here are desparate because everyone else goes out west? %$@#! their face off I wish I could KICK THEIR BAD TEETH OUT ONE TO ALL. I have a high degree here and they don't like that. If they don't like intelligent people and if everything foreign is so interesting to them (of course it would be knowing where they live anyway) they would pay me high bucks by now as I work to get a science math degree and these idiots stay here partying at university moving in with their boyfriend and taking sociology or whatever it is I don't care thats fine. But Ill tell you one thing. I don't like or have ONE ounce of respect for that province. %$@#! IT. %$@#! IT IN ITS DIRTY, UNWIPED, UNWASHED ASS.

Ha ha ha! The last comment was funny and quite true - very rational it is, I think. On top of it, their smelly workforce doesn't want any diversity in it. They always say they want that but don't believe them - they think anything is abnormal that is smarter than themselves. Yeah I agree other than perhaps few exceptions mmost Nova Scotians are so stupid in their cultural pursuits, I wish I would SERIOUSLY have written a book about the characters I met in it - but then again - no man or writer was ever worthwhile who has not met so ridiculously funny and narrow people who actually believe that England is the place where you sit down and drink tea with the Queen. ( Her #@$*&^% majesty). She probably wouldn't talk to one of them. One in every 10 maritimers knows nothing about their ancestry. BUT THEY ARE SO TRASITIONAL THEY ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT IT!

Windsor, Ontario. Enough said.

I'd say the following are the worst places to live in Canada;

1.) Vancouver, B.C. - too crowded, way too expensive, too many crack heads, too much crime, too much immigration, terrible traffic and wet winters (constant cold rain, fog, black ice, little snow). It was a great city 12+ years ago but has gone way downhill in a hurry and all signs point towards it continuing to do so especially once the olympics are done. Pretty in places though. Expect few people here to be fluent in English.
2.) Salute St. Marie, Ontario - really an ugly little city filled with poverty, I was only there a few weeks before I left. Very beautiful outside of the city however.
3.) Fort Mac, Alberta - way too expensive. Yes there are plenty of high paying jobs but a lot of that extra money will be sunk into outrageous living expenses, and the city is dirty and full of crack heads, maybe even worse than Vancouver. Really just a big work camp.

(the only part of Canada I haven't spent any time in is the East Coast, so I can't comment much on Nova Scotia, P.E.I. or Newfoundland)

Ya and the Japs fired at it in 1942 from their submarines. It's also got to be the wettest place in the country. I thought I knew rain until I came here (about an hour boat ride from Estevan). Vancouver is a desert in comparison.

Hanna, Alberta is the worst place bar none. It features carnivorous out-of-control minor hockey parents, bullying in the schools, out of control juvenile crime (including arson) and paranoid rednecks who make conspiracy theorists look like optomists. Drunk driving, oggling strippers, threatening Macleans writers who do interviews for articles on Nickelback, and trashing neighbouring towns are among the residents' favourite sports. Crimes are blamed on oil and pipeline workers who have not been in the area for months. I kid you not. This is the link to the local newspaper for verification http://www.hannaherald.com/

Toronto.

I fully agree, 273 people and 30 miles to the nearest brothel.

As a kid we did a cross country driving trip and we stopped in Saskatoon for a couple of days. I got the worst haircut ever at a barber shop there. I had to buy a hat and it ruined my whole trip. There was a saloon with gambling in the back and they sold shirts that had their saloon name on and "Liquor in the front, poker in the rear. Get it?
