Halifax? The problem with Halifax is that there are no jobs and people are uneducated, ironically the city has 4 universities and several colleges. People who are smart leave when they’re done school, because this place is full of rednecks collecting welfare. The only ones who like this place are from here, and a lot of people I know that came from other places are often appalled about the crudeness, for example How racists people are here, and they’re not even the target of it (I’ve even heard of policemen cracking racial slurs in the middle of the street before, the worst part is people here actually think the slurs have merits), that and the sheer laziness of this place. A relaxing place is just another way of saying “There’s nothing to do here”. Stay out of Halifax if you value your sanity (I’m out in 16 days, woohoo!)

Thank you for taking the time to write your comment. It has helped me alot. I recently moved back to Edmonton from Montreal but have been thinking about relocating back to Ontario or Calgary. The province of Alberta has alot to offer and your comments helped make my decision.

“Hamilton is hole within a hole” ? I am curious as to what you are refering to as the hole that Hamilton is in? Would it be Canada, Ontario, the GTA? Also where did you get your stats that 80% of Hamiltonians are on welfare and that Hamiltonians “hate big city people”? Hamilton is a big city itself.
I have lived in or around the Hamilton area all my life and Love it. I find the people here really nice and Love the community I live in. Hamilton has so much to offer from its over 100 waterfalls, numerous hiking and biking trails, the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Niagara escarpment etc, ert. Yes Hamilton can smell due to some business but I find this is only close to these particular buisnesses.

I would recommend Hamilton as a place to live for anyone. Yes the commute to Toronto can be slow but you get more for your money than in any city between it and Toronto. I could very easily mention things I find undesirable about other citys, but no city is perfect and each offer their own benefits. It all depends on the individual. I am pleased to hear the writer of the previous statment has moved out of Hamilton as I don’t think anyone should live in a city they do not Love.

Red Deer Alberta is most definitely NOT a good place to live.I live in Red Deer. Red Deer is #1 for domestic violence in alberta, as well Red Deer has alot of crime mostly related to drugs. It is absolutely unsafe to go anywhere. As a woman Im constantly warned to never walk or go anywhere alone at any given time of day or night. In Red Deer you are a target all the time to get robbed, assaulted,or a victim of domestic assault. Most of the large percentage of people looking for ways to get their next fix.

Well People I lived in Brantford , Ontario for 37 yrs and last summer came to Calgary, ALberta to live. This is what I think about Ontario
1.NO jobs!!!
2. Not very family oriented
3. No Mountains!
4. Crazy Crazy taxes!!!!!
5. Lots of people on social assistance!
Now top 5 things i like about Calgary
1.So many jobs ( you can be do whatever you want) within reason
2. The city is so supportive and the goverment here. So easy to start over and in fact they want you to succeed.
3. The Mountains!!!
4. So many things to do if you are single , a family, or travelling through
5. Money , Money Money!!!! I am not kidding you ! You can see smell and make it , if you want it!!!!
Oh yes and we have the most sun all year long!!!
So , am I happy I moved here? Darn right I am!!!
thanks for reading!

Hi Nicole,

I just read your comments.

I have been thinking of relocating to Leamington because of the weather (it’s not too cold in the winter).

Judging from your comments, perhaps I should reconsider.

Do you have any other comments you’d like to share eg. what are the more desirable areas in which to live as far as leamington is concerned.

Many thanks!

Yeah right! Leamington smells terrible, either from the mushroom farm or Heinz depending on which way the wind blows! I moved here 4 years ago, and I always know when I get back to Leamington, the smell starts to come through the vents in the car! The economy is also terrible and good luck finding a job! Point Peele is the only thing going for this place, visit it, it’s beautiful! But I wouldn’t recommend living here.

Weather wise – here are the stats for best & worst places to live in Canada.
http://www.pacificwebsites.com/where_to_live_in_canada.htm

Every place has good & bad about it. I have lived in London, Ontario & now live in Southern Alberta. I have lived in several other places as well. I liked London, but yeah pollution in the hot summer (that comes from elsewhere & settles there, because London is a low altitute) kept me inside. A lot less humid in S. AB, lot less snow, but no trees or lakes. Have to drive to the mountains for that. Housing & rent is high here, but no PST. Less taxes. I find Lethbridge, Alberta very similar atmosphere to London, ON, but about a 1/3 the population, so not as much traffic – but enough. Has all the stores, conviences of London. Usuallly you live where you can get work – which is why we moved here.
