What do you dislike about living in Ontario?
What are the top 5 things you dislike about life in Ontario?
Exclusions - the price of cheese and wine, coz I'd buy them anyway :drinkingwine: Would/will any of those 5 things see you leaving Canada eventually, or moving to a different province? |
Re: What do you dislike about living in Ontario?
I don't live there any longer, and I don't have 5 things as I wasn't there long enough but:
1) It was a little too cold for my liking in the winter. 2) It was a little too humid in the late summer I lived there. (Moved late in the summer) 3) Milk came in bags for some weird reason. If it had worked out there, I probably would have stayed though, bigger province, more choices, more stuff to do, hardly ever bored, better transportation system compared to BC, Via Rail actually has multiple per day train routes, people were friendlier/easier to make friends. |

Re: What do you dislike about living in Ontario?
I have few dislikes and no deal-breakers about living in Ontario. Working is another matter. Wee bit too hot and humid at times in summer, but I can live with that. Wish the shinny season was longer. Wish there was more social (non-league) cricket. Wish there were more twisties for scratching. Erm... price of cheese and wine?

Re: What do you dislike about living in Ontario?
I've grown up here.
-I hate the winter. 7 months of shit weather, 2.5 months of decent, and only 2 months of "proper" summer, and even that doesn't get that hot, coming from the Med. -Not enough sunlight -Most people put up too much of a front, everything is about fake small talk with them, and when you try to discuss something of relevance (politics, lifestyle choices, higher education, world issues, travel, etc) they sway it back because they get uncomfortable -The obsession with hockey/the toronto maple leafs -There is no distinct culture -the lakewater is cold, gross and muddy 100% of the time, and almost every native Ontarian thinks its just "awesome". After having seen/swam in the Mediterranean sea and the Caribbean sea, I won't go near it. :lol: The weather will likely be my reason to leave. I just can't stand the winter months, and as of late we don't even get rewarded with proper hot days where we can enjoy the pool and hang out outside. I actually really enjoy temperatures of about 26c-35c and we don't get that here very often. |
