So as some of you know I was in BC doing media work for Rogers for 2 days last week... In those 2 days only it made me question why im living here in Toronto when BC is so much better.
The air, the women, everything ... so much nicer then here. Plus waking up having a view of the rockies on one side and the ocean on the other was amazing and .. :( .. I already miss it.
Im definetly rethinking my plan and goals I had here, and am considering going to BC and doing them instead. Id probably have to spend my savings just getting setup there and to 'start life' over again ... and Id have to go work in a gym for a year or so to rebuild them... but in the long run I think Id be so much happier even if I had to setback plans for a year.
God damn that place was so nice.
I love Toronto A LOT .. but ... man ... :(
Dan, Your friendly neighbourhood asshole. 
I do installs and build FG stuff, pm me if you need help with anything. Im cheap.

I know how you feel Dan, I miss BC too, and it's been 2 years since I've been there next month, but if all goes well I'll be out there in another year or two if all goes according to my plans, and goal I have.

I've left Quebec 12 years ago and moved to BC, traveled to 35 different countries and still think BC is the best place to live on earth. The weather alone makes such a big difference. If I want snow I drive 2 hours and I'm in some of the best sky areas in the world. Cost of living is a bit high, but once your established it doesn't seem that bad. Just can't have as many hobbies... I love it here.
Oh! And we started the flower count today, even though there has been flowers for over 3 weeks now. B)

I hate it, lived in vancouver for a year. Snowed like crap, city had no budget to clean it and so they left it to melt(took two weeks to get up to the hills)
rained a lot and i was depressed all the time. didnt feel like doing anything but to sleep and slack off. out of 12 courses in school i only passed 1 and that was auto shop :)
so anyways. It looks like a nice place but it has its downs. I would rather have the snow and sunny skies rather then rain and no sun for 3 months in a row.
My two cents.
Ohh BTW that was in 1991 to 1992 when it snowed like crap.

Everytime i go out there to visit family, i never want to leave.
But you get what you pay for.
Scenery=$$
better/more woman=$$
Weather=$$
i have been to BC about 6 times never in winter, but it only rained once, other then that perfect weather.
Nothing like going for a hike up a mountain and forest in the drizzle. So fresh! So clean!
I wish my grass was Emo, so it would cut itself...

I'll pass... I can have just as much clean air (minus the sea breeze) and trees in North Bay, minus the Toronto-level cost of living.
I still can't wait to see it, but there's not enough cash around to make me move back to the city.

I've got some family down there... and haven't been down there yet.
One day... :)
I'd love to move somewhere like that, but I don't think I could leave Hamilton.

Move out here by May, and you can get in on the Dyno Day!
Born and raised in BC. Pappy was a truck driver, so I saw the whole province. Alberta was nice, but I didn't get out of the rockies. Winterpeg was nice.... but flat.... and cold.... and the mosquitoes.... and the inbreeding.

I just like how accessible the outdoors is in Vancouver... if you live up on Burnaby Mountain, closer to simon fraser, the rent is cheaper, and the crowd is younger.
But no matter where you go, the women are just stunning... And extremely athletic. I love it.
