I've worked in many cities around Canada

it earned its name deadmonton well...

When we closed the brewery I was glad I never had to go again.. never missed the place!

its a frozen wasteland in winter, and dull in summer....

maybe its better than Winterpeg or Regina.. but fall's well short of Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, St john, Vancouver, and even Calgary IMHO

too a point... I'd rather be in Moncton or Fredricton than Edmonton.. even Whitehorse is in front

(can't comment on Yellowknife or Quebec that's why their left out)

Give your criticism some credit by learning some basic English grammar , innit :rofl:

I must have a half-dozen resumes from laid-off oil-patch workers every day these last few weeks. But what use is a 20-year floorhand/roughneck/tool-puller to me in residential maintenance?

I see lots of these guys going bust as they had spent beyond their means and not put aside for less-certain times...analagous to the UK coal miners in 1984-5.
