Canada: Tell me about you're great country!


Recommended Posts

I live in a quiet town of Sudbury in Ontario. There is nothing here. We have a giant nickle and that's about all. Yet we like it here. I have a camp not to far away where there is NO tourists and our own private piece of land. Everyone is friendly and I don't know anyone who owns a gun (except one friend who hunts).

All in all (it's 1am here and I'm tierd), Canada is great. I have been almost across the whole country and there is nowhere I don't like. Everyone is freindly and we allow you to have fun.

The guy who took that picture must have had a heart attack. :o

Your stomache rumbles like crazy when you're standing there.

:huh: I would think most people, including myself, don't worry about a thing. I mean what's there to be scared about it's just a floor you can see through. :p

However it was funny when my friend and I went once and started jumping and stomping on it real hard; we forgot about the many other kids that were on it and they all jumped off quick screaming. :laugh: :p

If you want to came in canada, I think the best seaon his falls. That's simply beautifull

and if you want something you can only find in Quebec ( at least mostly in Quebec ), came in Autumn. You will find  Mapple Sirup.

The last person who mentioned "The Falls" was referring to Niagara Falls rather than the fall season.

Im about an hour or so from Whistler and it is amazing. Awesome resort. You will enjoy it much if you go to ski. You might be interested in going on a HeliJet tour around Vancouver island to, very neat. Ontario is kind of boring unless you like looking at lame buildings. Quebec has alot of festivals going on alot of the time but I wouldn't understand a dang word they were saying there (french). Hmm what else. Hmm I think PEI is pretty interesting. Yea :D. If you want to see a Big mall go to West Edmonton Mall. Its huge, has like 9 McDonalds in it, a hotel, a themepark, wave pool, probably like 3 of everystore :p some sweet ass internet cafe/arcade and a bunch of awesome stuff and in alberta I think they have some dinosaur thing.

Thats Blueshift gaming which sucks in comparison to Switchbox in Calgary. Such an awesome place. Its cool when they have tournaments between their two 36 seat stores.

Calgary is a great city. There is a ton of money there, so many jobs... a very nice 40 minute drive from the mountains...

From NB here, go atlantic provinces!

Actually there is not much to do here. There is practically no crime rate here, but none the less there is still not much to do, but vacation to other provinces :rofl:

:) Also living in New Brunswick (Saint John) and I have to agree there is like no crime. Having moved from the UK two years ago I find the lifestyle here much more laid back. Most things are really cheap and with the low crime rates it's a really safe place to live.

Heck this is the kinda place you see cars with their windows rolled down, the keys in the ignition and nobody in them in parking lots! :D

Well I'm over in Montreal, QC. I'm bilingual but I much much prefer english, it's my first language. There's always stuff to do in this city, downtown st-catherine street is always lively :) Next friday Laronde (member of six flags family) is having this event called Nuit Blanche. Grounds and Rides are open from 11pm - 5am and they're going to have rock concerts, beer and hot female dancers! Wish me luck trying to find the perfect amount of beer to take for rollercoasters without puking! :woot:

She lives in Ontario... not far from toronto, bout an hours drive I think. I forget what the exact name of the place is but she's gonna be workin at a uni.

I live about 1hr away from toronto. Here are a few towns/cities around that area if any of them will ring a bell: Milton :D , Oakville, Guelph (University of Guelph), Missisauga, Georgetown, Kitchener/Waterloo (University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University), Hamilton (McMaster University), London (University of Western Ontario :D ).

Canada is quite an amazing place to live.

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
