Never heard of ROC until maybe 2006. Sounds manufactured.

One prefers the more accurate "MOC".

I never knew what the term ROC meant until reading posts on here.

Plus posting any comment about say, urban vitality, between cities generally gets some sort of inferiority crazed comments within like half an hour from easterners but I never see nearly as many comments for other regions.

Anyway, to each their own.

I know for myself, I'm pretty "tongue in cheek" with the majority of my own posts, and don't get too invested. I doubt that too many other "Easterners' do either like you alluded to.

"One" being... you?

Sadly, it never really caught on.

From what I recall it first surfaced during the Meech Lake debate in the early 90s. I was in university in Ontario at the time.

Almost certain it originated in Quebec, probably with its politicians referring to "le reste du Canada", translated to "the rest of Canada" which in turn became "the ROC".

You can go on if you want, but this discussion has nothing to do with skylines, really.

Je ne fais que répondre aux interrogations soulevées par d'autres et qui m'interpellaient.

En tout cas je n'ai certainement pas inventé le terme "ROC", et Lio non plus.

Just let us have one thread. It's not too much to ask.

There is Quebec. There is the ROC. There is MOC.

What about the WOC? (Worst of Canada?)

I would say I learned ROC from SSP. However, I live in the ROC so it makes some sense SSP is first place i learned it. Why would anyone say ROC in the ROC?
