recommend me to go to?
Looking for a good city to live in.
The best place for spots, music, art, skate scene, and overall vibes.
-
if you're talking ontario... there's some decent spots/parks in hamilton, toronto, brampton, london, etc..
montreal (from videos i've seen) has some pretty decent spots aswell.
-
In the spring, I'll be moving to Edmonton and in the fall I'll be living in Montreal. I've heard only awesome things about MTL.
-
This is just from a skate perspective but Toronto and the surrounding area have lots of spots and parks. Montreal is also ripe with spots.
-
Vancouver is dope. Rainy but beautiful, cool old parks around, that street plaza, which apparently isn't that great, but if you lived there I'm sure you'd skate it, decriminalized weed, year round snowboarding nearby if that's your thing, mellow laid back culture. Always seemed like a nice place from what I remembered. I wouldn't mind living there.
-
Smack dab in the middle of where Watson & Rawb live. I have no idea where it is but I think it's called Purgatory.
-
I'm actually trying to move to Winnipeg next year. Lots of skaters, lots of spots, small enough to get around without alot of traffic, but big enough that there is shit to do. Plus I made a ton of friends up there this year. Only problem is the winter. That and the price of cigarettes. :(

vancouver is really expensive, toronto is expensive and montreal is pretty cheap. all cities are pretty dope from a skate perspective but don't expect to be able to just cruise around and hit spots downtown vancouver. everything is capped and fucked up, I learned the hard way when I was there in the summer. skitching cars and pushing around the streets downtown toronto on a summer night is probably the best feeling in the world.

no matter where you move....set your expectations to low.....

that would be somewhere in Manitoba and yes you are probably right.
-
Come to Ottawa, I cant even see the roads and pavements right now, and wont for a few more months.
Ice skating on the canal and attractive women do not make up for this...
-
Are you french speaking? People there tend to be cuntish if you don't speak both. It is also very hard to find work if you aren't bilingual.

new brunswick
are you from there ?

You'd think that, and it for sure helps to be bilingual but I live here and nobody I know who only speaks english doesn't seem to have trouble finding work.

No Funswick.
-
I guess in this order
Toronto
Vancuver
Montreal
Edmonton
Ottawa
but I guess Toronto and Vancuver are tied first . I have family in Ottawa and a really good friend in Edmonton .

stay as far away as possible from brampton and london.
toronto and hamilton are ok.
-
anyway if one of you fools live in no funswick or quebec hook me up.
-
are you from there ?
oh hell no. but if you do, what are you doing there? portlands just a short drive away!
-

-

Montreal is one of my favorite cities, but you could use a french class or local girl if you want to get by.
-
Vancouver is the skateboarding capital of Canada.
The west coast is basically the only part of the country that gets no snow.
And by "no snow" I mean it snows maybe 2-3x a year.
The rest of Canada get's real winter.
-
Toronto is sick, its really multi-cultural and there are spots for days.
When I was in the Asian part of town there seemed to be spot after spot.
946 gerrard street east, toronto, ontario
I clicked anywhere on google map out of confidence that I'd find a spot.
Low and behold, a triple set and mud gap outside a mc'ds.
Dope?
Dope.

I'm heading to Canada in a fortnight for a wedding, and really want to skate for a few days whilst I'm over there.
I'll be staying with friends in Waterloo, but we'll be heading into Toronto for a few days too.
Anybody able to hook me up with spots/parks/shops in or around Waterloo & Toronto?
Thanks in advance

I speak a little french, but I'm wondering if there's any specific jobs or areas of MTL that Anglos are better veered towards?

call center type jobs for english unless you're experienced in skilled/technical positions that aren't people facing/service related. as far as areas NDG is the most english part.
