There are also the charms of Western Canada

Alberta, Manitoba, and British Columbia are all beautiful.----Jae

This a deliberate slap in the face, Jae. You do things like this in a sneaky way. I don't appreciate

it. Saskatchewan is a beautiful province. And don't say it was a misprint. You like to be a troll.

No slap in the face intended crazyheart. I merely expressed appreciation for three of Canada's western provinces, and there's nothing wrong with that.
 
yes, Toronto has a lot to offer. The Blue Jays!
But it also has lots of traffic and long commutes.
In Fredericton, many things are within walking distance (both universities, hospital, downtown), and almost any part of the city can be reached in 10 or 15 minutes by car. And you can be out of town cross country skiing or hiking within minutes. It has a spring-fed lake for swimming; the river for canoeing or kayaking or bird watching. Clean air and pleasant climate -- most storms bypass us. Moncton gets twice the snow in winter.
It probably boils down to whether one prefers a small city or a large one.
 
Toronto's most persistent drawback, one that it shares with Vancouver, is the sheer unaffordability of housing.

LAST night, one of the cats tried to kill me. Tripped over her (grey cat in darkened hall) and went totally ass over teakettle right onto my tailbone. OUCH. Chiropractor assures me not broken, just twisted the sacrum out of alignment. She fixed it, but still very sore. Off to see my D.C.M. as soon as she can fit me in. Cat emerged unscathed, of course.

My son is choosing to spend the next four years in Ottawa and could easily have chosen Toronto. Why? Best biking trail network of any city. And that covers both sides of the border (Gatineau is part of the National Capital Region). Best skiing in Eastern Canada is close at hand (sorry, Blue Mountain doesn't cut it) in the Laurentians. Fact is, every city has something to commend it. You just have to find the one that fits your personality and interests.

And I'm sure that proximity to Quebec where the drinking age is 18 had nothing to do with Little M's decision. Nothing whatsoever. Really. :cool:

I went to college in Ottawa. It is a great city for students. I loved cross-country skiing in Gatineau and along the trails in Ottawa itself. Back then transit was decent. I'm not sure what it is like now. I highly doubt that Little M was even concerned about the bars closing at 3:00 in Quebec. ;)

I really like Saskatchewan and people who live there or who are from there. Given the number of people I've met out here who are from Saskatchewan, I'm always surprised when there are so many in the province when I am there. ;) When we drove through this summer, the canola fields were spectacular. Please turn down the heat though for my next visit. 35 was just too hot.....and who knew there was a humidex in Saskatchewan? :p

Back in the eighties (I think) I read a short horror story about a hitman who takes on a cat that is basically his feline counterpart. The cat wins. It was, of course, by the "King of Horror", aka Stephen King.
 
In my world, cables are something you plug in, not something you knit. I used to build cables for the library terminals but no needles or yarn involved.:)
