I thought I would start a debate here on what you think the Mongolian equivalent of Canadian major cites are here are mine.


Montreal= Ondorkhaan because they both have french culture.

Calgary= Mandalgovi because they are both sprawling oilboom towns.

Edmonton= Sainshand because they are both important staging centres for oil sands development and refining.

Winnipeg = Suhbataar because they both have large north american aboriginal populations.

Vancouver= Baruun-Urt because they both have temperate maritime climates.

Toronto= Ulaanbataar because they both have major film industries.

Hamilton = Dzuunharaa because they are both blue-collar industrial centres.

NO WAY NO WAY Montreal is Ulaanbataar not even close

[MonkeyRonin]

What about Saskatoon and Chiobalsan? They both have rivers!

[Acajack]

Gatineau can be matched with them all because we have yurts that you can rent for overnighting in Gatineau Park!

[jigglysquishy]

I'm laughing so hard right now. You don't even know.

:haha:

[Canadian Mind]

Mongolia has cities?

[MonkeyRonin]

I think Mississauga would be the equivalent of Mörön.

Are you saying that Mississauga is filled with morons........:haha:

Vancouver= Baruun-Urt because they both have temperate maritime climates.

Not that I could possibly take this thread seriously, but is that really the best you could do for Vancouver? :haha:

Baruun-Urt experiences a semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) with long, very dry, frigid winters and short, very warm summers.

Everybody knows Banfora is a one trick pony. Once the sugar cane runs out, the party's over. :P :banana: :whip:

[Bigtime]

Thanks to this thread I now know of other cities besides Ulaanbataar in Mongolia!

[freeweed]

Mongolia once ruled the largest empire on the planet.

Perhaps with this comparison, people will finally recognize that it's Canada's time. I call dibs on New Zealand.

[vid]

Thunder Bay is definitely the Tsetserleg of Canada. Of that there is no doubt.

[O-Town Hockey]

Wow, this photo of Ouahigouya a stark resemblance to Ottawa's 'City Centre' buildings which I featured on the Ugly Canada thread:

This is the greatest thread in the history of SkyscraperPage. :laugh:

Someone should start the Canadian counterpart of American cities thread just to see how far it goes.

Let's nerdify this thread a little (I think I can do that because it doesn't seen that serious to begin with...)

Canadian counterparts of Star Wars planets.

My suggestions:

Toronto = Coruscant
British Columbia = Endor
Alberta = Bespin
Québec City = Hoth
The Maritimes = Kamino
The Maple Leafs = Alderaan
Ottawa = Naboo

Any other suggestions?

[Acajack]

What I really want to know is if the citizens of Ulaan=Bataar are hoping for a soccer team in the Russian or Chinese premier leagues, because the Mongolian First Division is too bush league for them...

Montreal is Mos Eisley. Maclean's magazine would describe it as a "wretched hive of scum and villainy"
