Life Odd question....if you could live anywhere in a Canadian city, which would you pick? - Page 2

Opening an IT company in Canada.

Diverse opinions on the management team. Some want Toronto, others Calgary, or Vancouver. Montreal?

Where would you live? (As long as it had access to direct TV to watch KC Chiefs!) Why?

Thanks

Calgary and Edmonton are nice in the summer but no way would I want to live there in the winter.

I would have to pick Vancouver because it's the place you're least likely to freeze your ass off.

I'm changing my answer. I live about 40 miles from Trail, BC, so I know that the winters there aren't too bad. I would pick Trail, Rossland or Grand Forks.

Moderate winters and tons of good golf, hiking, boating, mountain biking and fishing in the area. I don't know about the cost of living but it has to be better than somewhere like Vancouver.

Winnipeg's kind of fun. Then again, I don't mind blisteringly cold weather at all.

Been to both Toronto and Vancouver, and I'd go with Vancouver.

Much milder winter and a 2 hour drive to Whistler.

Montreal is the prettiest and has the best looking strippers in North America... bar none. Plus they have that crazy underground city thing.. so that's kinda cool.

Vancouver is actually a good bet but it's too close to Seattle ... and I ****ing hate everything about Seattle. I would rather live in Tulsa than Seattle.

Yeah, but the Windsor Ballet is, after all, the Windsor Ballet.

I've been to both Montreal and Vancouver and I preferred the former. All visits were in the summer though.

When you listen to oldies stations in Canada its all these songs that kind of SOUND like 60's tunes but you've never heard of them. Its like watching" That Thing You Do!"

Why don't you like Seattle?

Btw, Cassel is only 60% as bad in Canada as he is here. Exchange rate.

Sweet! Does that mean we can go 6-10 and we'll still have enough draft value to take Andrew Luck in the first round?
