So I guess I'll strike rural NB off my list of places to visit too.

Vancouver is definitely the worst. You'd hate it here. Please don't move out here, emigrating Brits.

and Vancouver!

yeah - I'm with bazz, Vancouver is expensive, busy, oh and it rains 364 days a year, so do yourself a favour and please don't move to here. If your really really have to then keep off the lions gate bridge in rush hour

Surely people know because he looks wrong. After a year in Dufferin County people who's parents were born elsewhere look foreign to me.

Rural Canada


just too backward for my likeing,
nice to visit sh!t to live

Well he's even weirder than the average Parry Sound Redneck. Last I heard he's pretty much gone ferral.

I suspect rural living is the same everywhere, being in Canada isn't really relevant when your interactions are with chickens and horses.

Still, I don't see how rural living in Canada is more backward than urban living in Canada (here I'm comparing the Beach with Melancthon), the city does have the civilizing influence of the immigrants though there are some of those in the country too, but the things that are specifically Canadian; weird alcohol laws, CanCon on the radio, bad beer, are the same in either location.

It comes to us all in time.

urban canada is backward too,don't get me wrong just not as much so it's tolerable

So tell me again, why didn't you move to Montreal?

Where I'm going is that I think rural Canada is relatively less backward. If you move from say, London to Toronto, you notice the lack of art and culture and the witlessness of the (non-immigrant) people, whereas if you move from Shropshire to Dufferin County the difference is just that the cattle have shorter horns; every day life in a rural location is all shit and guts in either place. It may be that the other people in rural Canada are members of religious sects and/or lovers of the beasts of the field and it may be that they look very similar to one another but these things don't very much matter because you don't see them from one slaughtering season to the next.

I was misinformed.

If being "Backward" consists of less crime, no crowded streets & roads, friendly neighbours, less pollution & litter, slower pace then "Progress" isn't all it's made out to be.

And incest and bestiality. Don't forget those.
