Central Canada

[apalisoc_9]

Anyone living in -20c to -50c weather? This year has got to be the worst...-40c from -40c.

What's the best city in Canada weather wise without sacrificing too much city life?

should've stayed on the SE Asian island where you were born and raised. The American continent has never been a climatically pleasant place to live in tbh.

I'm taking a class with about 40 Canadians currently. I'll ask them.

I was part raised in canada bro..

Even people born and raised here complain all the time...I've considered Vancouver, but there's so many Chinese there...

No wonder this city can't even hit 800k even with mass immigration..I know a Northern African family that moved to England just because they hated the weather here..1 year of immigration papers and lots of money wasted..

Why the would you live in Winnipeg? I know people that went there because it's easier to get papers, tbh.

I just came back from Vancouver this week, nice city. Good mountains. No ing snow. And I like Asian food.

Montreal is nice too, but ing cold in the winter ( lefty). Toronto is warmer than Montreal but we're having the coldest winter in 5-6 years.

How the did you end up guessing that right? ..There's a few other central canada cities that are just as cold.

[resistanze]

I always associated you with Winnipeg, pretty sure you've mentioned it. If you didn't Winnipeg is the first hole I think of when someone says cold and central Canada, tbh

What do you guys think God gave you the vast forests for? Just burn several square miles of forest and your country would get warm immediately tbh.

I'll be in Vancouver for a week starting next weekend, what are your recommendations of stuff to see and things to do; just the normal touristy things are fine.

Oh yeah, I'll be sure to try some poutine.

I spent half my time snowboarding @ Whistler so I didn't do too much.

1. Stanley Park - One of the biggest parks in N. America. Lots of nature.
2. Granville Island - Nice area with many shops, formerly an industrial area.
3. Brassneck Brewery - If you like beer, I'd recommend this spot. gourmet pizza food truck outside as well.
4. Grouse Mountain - If you ski and don't want to go to Whistler, I'd head here. Cheaper, 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver and nice runs.
5. Gastown - Nice spot downtown with many restaurants and shops; 18th century feel.

Poutine. They got some spots (I heard Mean Poutine is good) but I'm sure lefty will tell you Montreal is the best for that.

Thanks for the recommendations. I have never done any skiing or snowboarding but it was in my original plans to go up to Whistler and check it out for a day trip. Are there things to do there like shops, restaurants, etc. where it wont feel like I wasted a day there if I'm not skiing?

Definitely, there's an entire village of shops, restaurants etc. You can take one of the Goldona lifts between the peaks of both Whistler and Blackcomb. they also have various concerts, snowshoeing, and more activities. The view alone is worth going if you have the time, as the trip up to Whistler is about 1.5 hours.

Only thing that sucks is the damn sun rises late and sets early (damn winter) so I might have to drive in the dark going and coming back to Vancouver so I can enjoy a full day up there. Blackcomb huh? Didn't know about. Going to add it to the plans.

Have you ever been to Victoria? Is it worth going there? That ferry ride seems expensive unless I misread how that works per car/person.

Yeah, driving up the winding roads to Whistler was a , especially in a minivan. I left in the evening so some stretches were completely dark; much easier to drive in the day. Driving back was faster and easier though.

If you hit the road by 7:30 - 8 AM, you should be arrive by 9:30 and you'll have until 5 PM before the sun starts to goes down.

Didn't go to Victoria, as it was my first trip out to Vancouver I wanted to focus my trip over there.

Driving to Whistler in snowy weather was one of the most frightening experiences of my life, tbh..

I literally thought I was going to die, several times..

Driving through BC in nice weather is beautiful, though..the scenery makes the time pass a lot quicker, tbh..


As for OP, I've lived in Toronto the past 3 years and my parents live in Ottawa..Toronto's weather is fine with me, it doesn't get too cold, and living in NY for half my life, it's pretty similar, tbh, although this winter has been pretty ty..

Ottawa weather is terrible, a lot of snow and way too cold, especially for a city with minimal appeal, even in hot seasons..

Montreal weather is even worse, tbh, and while it's one of the nicest cities in North America during Spring/Summer, the Fall/Winter cold makes it too unappealing to live there IMO..

I couldn't even imagine living anywhere else in Canada, outside of BC, tbh..the rest of Canada is ty, boring and cold, tbh..I don't know how anybody lives in Winnipeg or Saskatchewan..Alberta is all White trash oil workers and Somalians selling them coke/crack, so I guess there's a niche there..

I've never driven in snow never mind up a snowing winding mountain road. Thanks for scaring the bejesus out of me; it'll prepare me mentally.

Why go to Canada to get some poutine? You gan pull some poutine anywhere if you have confidence.

[lefty]

Montreal is not the coldest place in Kenedeh, but it can be quite brutal some days

The city is amazing in summer though, and I live downtown, so I'm not going to complain

I've been pronouncing it like that too and I refuse to pronounce differently.

HH is right. A had his hands on 10 and 2 the WHOLE time. It wasn't snowing (hasn't actually much this year), so that wasn't bad, but the winding road is crazy, especially in the dark. Mother ers from BC are whizzing by you @ 80mph - that. Take your time. Down the mountain to Vancouver I ripped it like crazy though as it was almost sunset, but keep that foot on the brake.

Luckily, I had the experience of driving up Wicklow Mountains near Dublin last May. , that was narrower and was on the opposite side of the road. I can drive anywhere now

[Medvedenko]

I live in Calgary and due to the chinooks the cold doesn't last too long so not horrible. Cold today though. -20c. I was up in Norther Manitoba over the holidays and it was -51c for a 3 days straight and I thought I was going to die. Couldn't breathe outside and had to walk home albeit drunk and elevated from a new years party a block away from where I was staying and I thought to myself. If I accidently trip or pass out in a snow bank I'll be dead within an hour. There were ice crystals in the air that early AM too.

[tlongII]

Vancouver or Victoria are the best places to be in Canada.

Ah , it's a single narrow road?. If I don't make it, I'm giving you my FPL passcode so you can beat symple in my place and cheer twice as hard for Arsenal for me.
