Gawd it's tough to choose....probably Nova Scotia.  But I could do Quebec, PEI, or BC as well.

Nova Scotia. British Colombia is a close second.

Not sure. I hear that some of the big cities have lots of Asian girls.

You would be in your glory in Hongcouver...I mean...Vancouver.

Personally, I couldn't imagine living anywhere other then I do right now in BC.

The Okanagan is awesome. This is the town I'm moving to... Springdale, NL, (pop 3500).

This thread won't get many interesting responses. I predict the vast majority will answer BC or Ontario, simply because they don't know much about anywhere else.

I remember seeing this..

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2004/09/30/bc_town040930.html

I was thinking, if I had the money, I'd buy myself a town!

It was only 7 million too.

True, that. I did put up a pretty stunning pic of Calgary though.  :ohyeah:

Probably true.  Only places I have driven to from home (and therefore around and gotten a feel for) are Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, and Nova Scotia (from the US border up to Halifax.)  Other than that, have only visited Victoria and Vancouver via Seattle.  Love both your coasts, however.  And while I know that you non-Quebeckers hate the Quebcois (at least, that's how my Canadian friends in college felt!), Quebec City in the winter is one of the most romantic places out there.

I like how all your shots (except for the one of the Chateau Frontenac, but the river is close enough!) have water in 'em...good point of emphasis!

I think you're wrong.  Hardly anyone will say Ontario cause Ontario sucks.  Outside of BC and NL though, nothing compares in my opinion.

Payman.  You need a new pic of Saskatchewan.  It ain't showing up and I can't get it to load on it's own.

I've always been interested in BC.  But thanks to Nick's enthusiasm I am also stoked about Newfoundland.  Basically anywhere that is fairly remote, mountainous, and there aren't that many people works for me.

Not many people (besides Newfies) know much about NF. There's only 490,000 people in the entire province, most of the land is public domain, and yeah, anyone who's been here are blown away by the scenery.

It's a grain elevator, in a wheat field. What else is there.  :huh: :lol:

The only thing you have to remember about Newfoundland is that it's the coldest place in the world.  It's only above 0 C (32 F) for about 3 months a year.

Come on now. It's a marine climate, and it rarely ever gets below -5C. Sure, we get lots of snow and it can last until May, but summers can get pretty warm (30C+). I know you're only kidding, but those that don't know different will believe it.

Hmmm either BC or ON.

Haven't been out to BC yet. Sounds like it's a nice vacation place, but I don't know about working and living there...

What the fuck, what about Nunavut?

Well, there's Yukon and Northwest Territories as well, and while they're great places to visit in their own right, do you really think you'd like to live there? A beer in Iqaluit (capital of Nunavut) is $8.

Hey, I'd probably run into a polar bear at the bar. I'd pay $8 to have a beer with a polar bear and a penguin or two.
