Looks like Ontario is winning. If this is a democracy (and I presume none of us are communists or fascists here), then I think this data point will serve as a standard for future reference should any dispute arise on SSP between this country's provincials, upstarts or far-flung remotists on the one hand, and the natural leaders and standard-bearers at the centre of Canada on the other.

Let the winner take the spoils, in other words. Ahh....victory is sweet.

That's quite a feat being born in 2 places.

East Vancouver, Lived in BC all my life with the exception of half a year in the st john's newfoundland area.

I'm from New Brunswick but currently resides in North Glengarry, Alexandria part. Decided to stay into a rural community because of the communists that are invading cities, barely exagerating here. I don't drive but manage to do everything on foot. People find that weird but I don't care.

I am from Ontario, but have lived a few years in Halifax and Victoria.

Ironically, my main things I like to push are outside of my province. I guess it is because we have great things here that other provinces should have.

Holy geographic imbalance Batman!! You'll find that the West Coast + Prairies equals Ontario here. A shift of power! is in the air. Westward hoo!

I have more than a few friends here in Timmins who were born and raised in Calgary or towns just outside of there. They all seem to like Northern Ontario and really enjoy our many lakes. I have been noticing a number of Albertans moving here lately, likely to work in mining related jobs.

I'm 100% joking about the correct side but that's actually very interesting. Northern Ontario may actually have a ton to offer in comparison to some parts of Alberta right now I imagine.

That is interesting. Where I currently live, there seems to be few (if any) communists, but there is a preponderance of taciturn, selfish conservatives that read Sun Media birdcage liner and bitch nonstop about foreigners, young people, taxes, Trudeau, etc.

Interesting. I guess this all depends on what your personal definition of a "communist" or a "taciturn selfish conservative" is.

Personally, my own bell curve tends to have a broad base, with elongated tails, and only a few communists and fascists on either end. Most people in the middle, while having varying viewpoints, tend to be fairly reasonable people who can be negotiated with............

I was born in Windsor, moved to Toronto then back to Windsor, then back to Toronto, then back to Windsor, then out to Banff and finally back to Windsor where I’ve lived for the past 30 years. I love it here, it’s home!

Are you totally fluent in French?

[urbandreamer]

A more interesting question would be: where are your parents and grandparents from?

I'm not sure, but I believe Molson can speak a tiny bit of French, though he's far from comfortable with the language.
I've never seen or heard him, but I've been a member of this site for long and somehow, there are things or people like him that hit my brain and my memory.
I can't explain how or why. I've just always known he's from Montreal and lived in Marseille at some point.

Once you've got a serious taste of the French language, it turns out an addiction. It's like an open door to all other Western European languages. At least Romance ones and English. These are not too hard to get to us.

German, Dutch and Scandinavian languages are a bit far fetched, though. It's not like they'd be so easy. But when you speak French, you get a rather easy access to English, Spanish Castilian and Catalan, Italian or Portuguese. Even possibly Romanian that's another Romance language, though I don't know shit about it.

Anyway, that's quite convenient. You take a look at France's location, then you see why it's been some sort of northern Romance thing. The country is like at the crossroad of Western Euro nations.

I came to think that we never really invented our own language. It was given to us by our neighbors.

Finally, some people in Montreal must have some old English ancestry and now find the English language kind of annoying. They must be too used to French.
