Re: milton ont
Oh no, it's a great irritation to my partner that I'll keep the conversation going as long as I possibly can. On Sunday the TD VISA saleswoman was with me the whole afternoon. The only harm you can do to them is to waste their time.

Re: milton ont
Drove along Hepburn last night. Two rather grubby small kids playing beside the road, ball hockey game in progress on the road, bald man walking dog with the superior air of a professor of divinity. Property ranging from literal mansion to terraced houses in disrepair. Short walk over the river bridge to ice hockey arena, theatre, music and ballet lessons, pubs and restaurants. I've sold meself.

I wouldn't say often but it does happen from time to time. The Star is a newspaper sold primarily to immigrants. It runs a lot of fluff stories about happy immigrants so I suppose finding someone on this board to gush about Canada gets the reporter a lot of column inches for not very much work.
Good luck in your search.

Are you another Star employee? If so I congratulate you on your syntax, if not your fact checking.

I'm an immigrant so I do read the Star on line, mostly the sport sections and the TV listings. Occasionally they make an editorial comment of passing interest.
I think the paper is to be commended though for using its reporters to cold call gentlefolk throughout the GTA.
Beats outsourcing to Mumbai like the Globe or the Sun.

Dundas I hate with a passion its an extention of the grizzly hammer!! Ancaster is nice but expensive and full of pre madonna portugeuse and Italians parading round their expesive houses all arrogant they live in Ancaster and such - not my cup of tea but if u dont mind that a nice place to live. Guelph is a nice town, like posts have said its a university town, close to 401 but enough removed, Milton I do quite like a couple of decent pubs in town and housing is a good price but I defo agree with comments made here its an urban nightmare at times and has grown way too quickly for the infrastructure in place.
Personally Id go for Bolton if you want removed a bit but good access to highways, its a nice size town with everything you need but isnt crazy busy and is 10/15 mins north of the 407.

Re: milton ont
I spoke to them. I explained that I have a 1987 Land Cruiser with 135,000 miles on it. The salesman said that they usually try "to catch vehicles more quickly after they fall out of warranty" but he said he would speak to his manager to see what could be arranged. The manager came on the line and, after some blather, said that they'd make an exception and provide a warranty for $580/year. The $580 could be paid right then by credit card and I'd be immediately protected.

Looks like you and dbd33 have loads in common.....not sure if that is something you want to foster.

Re: milton ont
Not a love of Bolton though. Lots of ugly industry around there and it's very strip mall burbish except for 100 yards in each direction from the crossroads at the bottom of the hill.

Re: milton ont
Isn't there a quasi-decent pub on the east side of the road going down the hill before the crossroads...can't remember the name of it, but isn't as inbred as the Loretto Tavern.

Re: milton ont
On the plus side, there are plently of little pockets that are nowhere near any of that. The area has plenty of money in it, due to the italian influence. It has all the shops you need (whether this is a plus or not is debateable).
Schools are good, the sub divisions have a happy family feel to them. There is plenty to do in the local area, lots for the children, good library. Everything is within easy reach skiing to the North, the airport to pick up visitors. OH works in Brampton it's a 30 minute commute for him.
Bolton is one of those places that does exactly what it says on the tin.
