Has anyone got any useful advice regarding our move from Edmonton to Moncton NB. For example best area to live regarding housing and work, whats the employment like. thank you

If you are moving there, clearly you have looked into housing and employment.

If you haven't, you deserve all you get.

If you have, you deserve all you .... no I mean there is no need for the thread.

However I suspect this thread is just poking the bear with a stick.

Moncton is fab, just ask BristolUk

Or anyone with an open mind....preferably someone who doesn't think the place where they riot is fab.


PM if you want serious responses without people taking the Michael.

I suspect it has a faint whisper of trollness.

oh for crying out loud, get a sense of humour would ya.

Says the person failing to recognise the ROFL smiley in the apparently humourless post.

But to be serious for a minute...would you stop taking the piss out of where I and plenty of other BE members live quite happily?

You are extremely childish sometimes.

cxx, why did you delete your post? It provided some balance.

Make sure you have a walk round your house when you are ready to leave. It's a long way to go back if you left something behind.

Thanks Kiwilass - I've posted some negative things about Moncton / NB in the past, in an attempt to provide some balance, and been criticised for daring to do so, so thought it probably wasn't worth the abuse I'd get

Anyway, the advice to the OP is to ensure you visit NB and do all of the typical recce things (houses, schools, shopping, job hunting, etc.) as it may not be as perfect as it appears to be from all of the positive comments on BE

As somebody who sometime goes to Moncton for Work purposes

I'd get on Google earth and use streetview to check it out...

I keep trying to think of postive things to say, but to be honest I can't

But then again I felt the same way about Edmonton when I went to work there..

That's too bad, because we need different perspectives on here..and there don't seem to be many posters with direct experience of living in Moncton on BE.

My lips are sealed on the subject.

oh go on. *prod prod*

No, no point. If anyone wants a view from someone who lived around Moncton for a number of years and now lives in Fredericton, plus views on NB in general feel free to PM me.
