Your city in one word
 
You can express your city (for better or worse) using only one word. It has to be a real word, not an expression of speech, and not a rhetorical compound (e.g., 'Can-do').

Montreal: Sexy
Vancouver: Breathtaking
London: Boring
New York City: Metropolis

Moncton - "ambitious" (since can-do is unavailable).

Acajack Apr 12, 2021 7:19 PM
Gatineau: "Margin"

Calgary: Ambitious or Modern. But these days I’m leaning towards Redneck.

Sorry I know I’m cheating, but since Covid and the UCP I’m very conflicted.

From an Ottawan's perspective, the Quebec side of the river is all about the four S's:

Suds
Ski
Sand
Sex

:haha: I was going to put Okotoks as Fun. Wasn’t sure if we’re allowed to nominate other cities though.

If we can then I’ll add the following:

Brossard: Elvis
Longueuil: Mullet
Edmonton: Stucco

;) Excellent.

From my experience...
Sherbrooke: Saoule / Drunk
Trois-Rivières: Pitounes
Cap-de-la-Madeleine (a former city, now part of Trois-Rivières): Puante / Stinky
Drummondville: Truckstop
Sorel: Derelict / Délabrée
