Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

Whats with the Regina bashing?????

I reckon that save some of the exceptions such as the BC cities and possibly Calgary - why is Regina being singled out.

Lloydminster / Lethbridge / Medicine Hat / Camrose to a degree Edmonton are all cities here (that I know of) without much of a view and will offer the same ammenities as Regina.

Scenery doesn't put food on the table, supply a good community or give you a job (unless you're an artist or a photographer or something!)

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

actually have just googled imaged Regina and it looks pretty darn nice actually :nod: preferable to 4 out of the 5 places i listed in AB (IMHO) for first impressions!

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

shit if there were a job offer in regina, i'd take it tomorrow :D

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

Have a funny store about that. Bloke I met at work tried out some DIY hail damage with a tube sock and a tennis ball, hoping for a new paint job on a beater. Being a numpty he did the whole car, top, sides all the way around except the glass. The insurance adjuster promptly rejected his claim of the "uniform severe hail damage except the windows". Months later I still find myself giggling when he showed me the car and told me the story.

sorry meant to say "tube sock and golf ball"

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

I take it these kind of people have affected you in someway? Or is it just a stupid comment..:thumbdown:

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

Bashing Regina is a Prairie pastime however it seems to have spread to all parts of Canada. Do Alberdans call Saskatchewan the Gap like Manitobans do? Why is the meeting of the 2 x CFL teams called the Banjo Bowl.
Its all good natured ribbing between the Provinces. Ive been to Regina many times and never had a problem just for the record.

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

Actually if the truth be known they did affect me in my previous job which was arresting them for all types of crimes in particular the scousers who would send teams of shoplifters and car thieves to Preston to ply their trade.

Re: Top 5 things about Canada
 

It's OK. Actually, my mental image of someone trying to dent their body work with a tennis ball in a sock was even funnier than the story!

Re: Top 5 things about Canada

When I went to Canada (Toronto) for a 10 day holiday, here are my observations of the country.

1. Friendly people
2. Open spaces
3. Proximity to other major cities and the USA.
4. Very laid-back.
5. Close to the UK.
