Montréal: An island, 1 million people, 14 bridges + 1 Tunnel. You do the math.
Top 7th REASON TO LIVE IN QUÉBEC
Gas costs 10¢ per litre more than in any other provinces but you get to blame the greedy Albertans.
That $400,000 Toronto home is actually a 450 sq ft studio condo but you do get to share the swimming pool.
I think the article might be a little dated? Under Novia Scotia it slighted newfoundland for being poor. Yet newfoundland is the first atlantic province to become a HAVE province.. since.. well.. as far back as I can remember :)
Ontario tooks its place as the poor province.. lol.
Poor New Brunswick. It doesn't even get interesting stereotypes.
New Brunswick: Canada's biggest causeway.
Anyone remember the 2001 book called 'How to be a Canadian' by Will Ferguson. He really nailed each province. I remember his Alberta motto: "We have oil, we have money, we have guns; don't piss us off."
1 reason you should live in Québec
legal drinking age : 18 years old
but let's face it is just a suggestion
well alberta also has chinooks that no one ever talks about. it gets 40 below at night and the next day it is 40 above.
alberta has cowboys and mountains and prairies and plains and it has the most sunshine of any province in canada.
alberta has two major cities and no one in either place can remember the name of the other place.
new brunswick has the acadians and is the only officially bilingual province in canada.
lobsters come from there and clams and eels from the rivers. a prime minister of england was born there as was lord beaverbrook.
