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:

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.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
