Just to reiterate a few points about Calgary
Kipper and Iginla
Cold in winter but not much snow here-- lots in the mountains
Kipper and Iginla
Good economy-- red hot in fact
Kipper and Iginla
Modern city-- can be a downside as there is little history here
Kipper and Iginla
Seems to be a lot of hot wormen
Kipper and Iginla
Asher has covered off the schooling aspect-- I just know that I like it here. Housing/rent is manageable and public transit is decnt

There are plenty of hot women in Montreal period. I'm not sure if it's a langage thing. Just go on St-Laurent and you'll find out that there are plenty of hot anglophone montrealers. (There's a difference between anglophones from Montreal and anglophones from the rest of Canada. Maybe they have been influenced by our latin ways.  )
However, if you visit the universities, you'll notice that the women in the french speaking universities look a lot better than in the english speaking ones.

Although it appears to me Montreal is going downhill. The first 10 or so times I went there, I was always floored at the hotness of the women. But the last 5 or 6, I have been consistently dissappointed. Not that there aren't hot women, but it just seems like there's alot more uglies. Maybe its because more obese Anglos are moving in? I don't know... |
I've been living here for a while, and I haven't found a reliable club. One night, the place is filled with hot chicks; the other, it's not.

As opposed to where . .. the US??
If you are suggesting that everyone would prefer the US, you would be very much mistaken.

yup-- but both are large diverse countries. It depends on what people are looking for in a place to live

pchang, yeah. Canada is like a backup plan. No offense Canadians! But hey, think about it, it's the 2nd choice of over 200 countries .. that's pretty good!. |
No offense taken since Finland doesn't even rank in my top 10
THat would include the US, Australia, Britain and a few former British colonies where English is spoken ( assume I need to work) and only then would I head to mainland Europe.

Get over yourself. I was trying to be nice, asshat. My point was Montreal used to have mostly hot women, now they have mostly pigs (Edit: <--- exaggeration, but still true).

Well, to be frank, I haven't been there in years. But have you seen their newscasters? They don't look good. And that's an understatement. And they don't want to look better: putting to much effort in your looks is deemed vain and frivolous. That must be a puritan thing... |
No, I've never seen their newscasts, but I don't doubt you. I just remember seeing some cute girls in Burlington... though probably because its a small city with a big university, and all universities have at least some hot girls. Which reminds me...
Pekka: Try checking out Burlington, VT. Thats a cool town, although maybe too liberal for you.

Minneapolis -- big urban area (over 1 MM ppl), NHL hockey, great outdoor sports activities, great uni (U of Minnesota), much Scandinavian heritage, very Finnish climate.
Madison -- smaller city (state capital, still pretty big), incredibly beautiful campus (U of wisconsin), still mad for hockey (collegiate, no NHL team), same climate.
Chicago -- awesome university scene (U Chicago, Northwestern, others), MAJOR urban area and all that implies. We have all major sports here (although I would hesitate to call the Blackhawks a true NHL hockey team...), plus it has the HUGE advantage of being home to Ming, Rah, and myself.
 On second thought, never mind, Pekka. We don't have room for another huge, dynamic personality like you in our town. check out Minneapolis and madison, though. I really think they'd feel like home to you.

Even by a factor of two the total is only $500k. Your off by about $300k-$400k for your average single family house in the east bay. $700k ought to get you a half century old fixer upper on a small lot.
