        well 'free' healthcare and other socialist welfare programs are definitely heavily factored in.

        it's not exactly an objective list, you'll notice that there's only two non-English speaking cities ranked.

        top US city ranked was Honolulu at 26 and then Pittsburgh at 29.

                    I can't argue with that list, although I hope everyone includes the San Francisco Bay Area on their list of places to visit. We're not perfect, but we're pretty unique.

                    Anyway, I absolutely love Vancouver, and Australia and New Zealand are high up on my list of places to visit someday (are there any large adult shows held down under?).

                              I'd add London for the party scene, definitely not for affordability

                                        After visiting Vancouver recently, I'd put it at the top of my list of cities I'd like to move to. It even beats San Diego.

                                              Vancouver has turned into an absolute shit hole. It used to be such a beautiful city. Now it is over run by immigrants and bums. Seriously the city has gone to shit was there 1 month ago.

                                                I've been to a fair number of cities and have to say that the US is my favorite place. Primarily because grocery shopping is easier ;p

                                                  Really narrowed it down there.

                                                  Because Houston and Seattle are the same

                                                    That's some fucking bullshit right there. Recently there was another poll like this and it listed some city in Colorado as the best city in the US. Bullshit. It snows there. Any where it snows cannot be "the best". Snow sucks.

                                                      I'd say that for Toronto and Calgary, they took that survey in June.. and not in January, when people forget about the bitter cold. We Canadians only remember the last 3 months worth of weather.

                                                            Don't know about Vancouver now, but in the 90's, early 2000's it was great.

                                                            But how the hell is Pittsburgh is even on that list? Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, New Orleans all far superior.

                                                                                            I've never been to Melbourne or Vienna, but I sure as hell would not want to live in Vancouver or Calgary. Or Toronto, for that matter. But I'm stuck here...

                                                                                            Listening to politicians (from all parties) spewing their self-serving, inbred, borderline-retarded jibber-jabber for almost 40 years has pretty well killed off any enthusiasm I have for Canada. I would die for this country, but not because the shitheels who run it asked me to.

                                                                                            I edited a lot of stuff out - don't want anyone knocking on my door tonight...

                                                                                                Back in the day, my uncle used to drive around with four rifles arranged in a lovely gunrack mounted on the back window of his pickup truck. That was in Small Town, Ontario (ok, Campbellford...). I'm sure the pussy sniffing Liberals have changed the rules over the last twenty-thirty years, but he never had a problem.

                                                                                                In the city, dogs work just as well as a deterrent. The more dogs, the better.

                                                                                                Even though we're liberal socialist commies, we still have about 30 firearms per 100 people. What that means is that every single person outside of a major urban centre is armed to the fucking teeth.

                                                                                                I have no idea what the fuck I'm rambling on about, but that Submit Reply button is so fucking tempting...
