We have a wonderful Country named Canada.
In this wonderful country called Canada, there are wonderful cities.
Between these wonderful cities, there is near nothingness (this is beside the point).
Now all these wonderful cities, which are seperated by near nothing, have different personalities and cityscapes.
The cities of the same size are always in conflict, trying to determine the city with the most exotic cityscape and personality.
This, my freinds, as amusing as it may be, is a problem.
What I would like to do is to find the similarities between these wonderful quarreling cities with different personalities and citiscapes, which are seperated by near nothing in this wonderful country called Canada so we can all find the similarities so we can all love eachother.
This will undoubtedly turn into a contest to see if Nippigon is better that Rossport (That is not true) so I will begin a question for this thread.
What simmilarities can you people find between Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Rossport?
I was considering adding Aylmer but EVERYONE know that Aylmer is better that all the cities mentioned above. So ha.

Be nice,

Rossport has, like, six people. :haha: But they're white. So, they all have white people in common. They also have at least one paved road!!

Nothing even comes close to being like the 'Peg baby! We're the original.
There's a couple of American cities that remind me of Winnipeg like Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo but really nothing in Canada.

Victoria doesn't really have a river, and it doesn't snow at least once a year.
According to the Conference Board of Canada, Thunder Bay is plagued with smog! If only we had a hospital and a water treatment plant at which to deal with this situation!! But alas, they say we lack those too.

Drive 30 minutes West of Ottawa and you will see the meaning of a hole.

So HA. Again.

Oh, yes. Before you know it, Airdrie, too, will be a soulless suburb full of superficial people living fake lives. And as we all know, the primary purpose of a fake life is to accumulate stuff.

Don't pride yourself on Alymer. Its just a hole with a river to the south. And the Amish to the north.

Milwaukee more than anything else reminds me of Winnipeg. As far as Canadian cities go, I'd argue that Edmonton comes the closest. Other than that, I can't think of another Canadian city that is similar to Winnipeg.

Comparing Edmonton to Winnipeg??
We should just lock this thread now. :uhh:

Edmonton is much closer to Ottawa...
No, Edmonton has high rises. :frog:
