Christmas in Canada

[HiDnGoD]

Since there is snow on the ground much of the year, the commute is what concerns me the most.

Snow's not that bad. It's really only an issue from Dec. to March. I had an architect friend who lived in, shit, I can't remember the name. North of Newmarket on the edge of the Holland Marsh. He did OK, travel wise.

Come back anytime...bring more conservatives with you. We have an election.

If I were Canadian I'd vote for Harper, though he is really much too liberal as far as I'm concerned.

See what passes for a conservative around here?

and kitchener is like a fricken test tube experiment gone wrong. cant wait till im outta this city,these ass mongers cant drive for shit

You're in Kitchener now? Enjoyin the snow?
Yeah, the drivers here are fuggin whacked. There's no express route around the city, & the drivers all wanna prove they're Gilles Villeneuve. Lights don't co-ordinate well. My wife used to walk to work, now she drives for protection.

where in the US...i have never seen one wehre u have to pay in my 25 years.

Wow, 25 whole years huh?

There were several chains that tried that to keep costs down and promote the whole environmental thing. I don't think many American shoppers went for it. Cash N Carry, Shoppers, some others.

Best thing about a large city is there are a lot of choices. Bottom line if I move to TO I'd want a quiet neighborhood with lots of vegetation, parks, shopping, nice schools for my kids but my job downtown, plus a managable commute.

I know, that's a lot to ask.

You just described Richmond Hill exactly. Neighbourhood is quiet and diverse, tons of parks, Montessori schools if you want them, new public schools if you don't, I have every shopping need you could want less than a 2 minute drive from my house, if you work downtown it's a straight run on the subway or 45 minutes if you want to drive.
