Discuss. I would hate to think an innocent emigrant out there could miss out on this opportunity, so if you don't choose to live in Moncton, please explain yourselves.

Not an expert on Moncton but i would say the one time I did happen to go there My impression was it was a ugly, shitty looking town. Could be a million miles from the reality though.

Also add, i don't live, nor have any desire to live in Vancouver. Will I have to explain this also?

Me neither. I got lucky when they offered me one in Belleville and I have no desire to try my luck elsewhere.

Mind you, Bellevillle isnt much to look at in passing.

Too much snow.

On average Moncton gets 350cms (137.8" or 11.5 feet) of snow each winter.

I ended up here because it's where the OH is from, the industry he works in (film/tv) has a strong base here and he refuses to try anywhere else in Canada. God knows I've tried

I truly did not have an opinion about Van one way or the other when I moved here, luckily I like it.

I blame my parents. They popped me out in Ontario and headed west. Though I guess I should have moved to Moncton when I turned 18. Sorry.

I visited Moncton. Twice. For business as opposed to pleasure. Try as I might, I can't recall any salient details about it. Aside from the Pumphouse brewpub,

I don't live in Moncton for the same reasons I don't live anywhere else in Canada. Or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

I lived in Moncton for 3 years. I have a valid opinion as someone who has lived there.
