That I may be but I am not on here for people to tell me what might be or might not be good. I am only interested in seeing what people think about different areas of Canada to help make a decision on where to visit.

Ignore the sarcasm AC.
Its difficult when you are at the start of this.. you are putting feelers out to know where to even start.
Take what you need from the Forum, theres lots of good advice on here.

Good for you. Not as if anyone is trying to help you. Don't come to Ontario as there are no mountains.

I spent all weekend at "mighty mount batawa".

I think my best time was 17sec from top to bottom

Took longer than that to get the racing bib off again at the bottom

Indeed. Don't get me wrong I have visited Halifax on a lot of occasions and enjoyed it but would never in any drug fuelled stupa describe it as gorgeous.

Might be the best in someone's eyes. That's why I want opinions!

For the people that chose to live and work there I expect it is. Just like I live in the best part of Canada for me.


Of course when I came here, this area had recently been chosen by the "Ontario Social Development Council" as the best place to live in Ontario, and Ontario was the best province in Canada, and Canada was perenially ranked #1 in the UN Human Development Index, so never mind being "the best place in Canada", it was quite literally (and probably inaccurately) "the best place in the world"

Whether Quintes subsequent fall from grace can be entirely attributed to my arrival here has yet to be proven...
