1. BC all the way

they have the Marijuana Party

[harper]

2. Newfoundland...Harper's favorite vacation spot

Spectacular scenery. Wonderful place to visit.

[Awsi Dooger]

36. Agreed, but why is country music so popular in Newfoundland?

When I spent a week there a few summers ago, damn near every radio station blasted nothing but country!

[harper]

41. Cause Newfoundlanders are the hillbillies of Canada

Or at least that was the theory we came up with after our last trip.

[SmileyBoy]

3. Manitoba - Pop. 1,165,944

Truly God's Country.

[Darth_Kitten]

47. Yeah!!!!! very underated........

by the snarky, self-important B.C. and Ontario press. Hmmmph.

[Old and In the Way]

4. Toss up between NS and New Brunswick

Being a Mainiac and all. But Newfoundland....man, life doesn't get much desolate then there. PEI is pretty cool too.....great place to bike, only place I know where plants and birds are the major route markers.

[Hand]

40. Tossup, hell...

It's Nova Scotia. It always has been Nova Scotia. It always will be Nova Scotia.

New Brunswickers are swine. Everybody in Nova Scotia knows that...

[HEyHEY]

5. Wow, Sask in a strong second place postion

[LibertyorDeath]

19. That's flame bait if I ever saw it.

[HEyHEY]

21. Bring er on Stubblejumpers!

[ironflange]

6. I voted BC

I fear it won't be the coolest much longer, though, if Campbell isn't stopped soon. It'll become another Alberta!! Though Alberta's not so bad as long as you know where to go.

I am puzzled about Sask's strong showing. Maybe all those Murricans like the funny name.

[HEyHEY]

7. Or we got us some prairie yankees that have only been there

Campbell wil lose big nest round though....fucker exposed too much of his hand

[dolo amber]

8. I gave it up for Alberta

since no one had voted for it yet...I felt sorry for it. And our very own ScreamingLordByron resides there, so...

[HEyHEY]

9. But ALTA is full of Rednecks...and SLB and Ironflange...plus Trogl

[dolo amber]

11. Wow...Candian rednecks...

Is that like...the people on the Red Green show? (Which, oddly enough, I happen to enjoy immensely...)

"If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy"

[HEyHEY]

13. nope we got em

I mean real rednecks too...... racist, homophobic,....and they hate guys like HEyHEY (cityboys) ha! Just cause they've never seen a decent suit.

[ironflange]

17. Trouble with Calgary is. . .

You often can't tell who the rednecks are, they frequently don't have any sort of "look," so I am very cautious about starting, or even participating in, political discussions. Except in my own house, we all think pretty well alike. For example, we often had dinner and bridge evenings with another couple a few years ago, never talked about politics until one time he started spewing forth about Preston Manning. I sort of ignored it, but I must have said something to piss him off, because we haven't heard from them since. Screw it, they couldn't cook worth a damn anyway, and he was waaayyyy too competitive at the card table. Don't miss him, the stupid redneck.

Well, anyway, if you can stand the politics, Calgary's not so bad, and it's easy to get away to the mountains when you get a little tired of the place, I can be there in less that 30 min.

The really funny thing is that arch-conservative Calgary keeps on electing Liberals as Mayor:

Rod Sykes
Ross Alger - I think
Ralph Klein - was a Lib when elected
Al Duerr
Dave Bronconnier

All good Liberals. Notice how Bronco screwed up the nice string of 5-letter names.

[camero]

30. they have them

I think the Canadian DUers will agree with me when I say some reside in Red Deer.

[HEyHEY]

33. Yeah ..red deer and all points within 1,000 kms

[camero]

34. I did find a liberal in Alberta

Who was in Wilson, close to Jasper. An endangered species there unfortunately.

[AspenRose]

46. I've heard of the KKK being active in Saskatchewan

eot

[TrogL]

16. Hey!

*mumbles* "is that a compliment or isn't it?"

[ironflange]

24. I don't think we're included with the rednecks

[Veggie Meathead]

10. Didn't you mean to say the coldest instead of coolest?

[HEyHEY]

12. when wil you Americans learn

Southwest BC is a milder Climate than many US states..we aren't THAT cold!

[Minstrel Boy]

14. NO votes for Ontario?!?

My Ontario includes the Big Nickel!

[HEyHEY]

15. Sorry dude....it must be the Maple leafs

[ConcernedCanuk]

18. Remember too, most of the populated part of Ontario is South of the 49th

.
.
.

parallel

with part of it at the same latitude as Norther California!

yup yup

AND

Temperatures are moderated by the proximity of the Great Lakes.

Besides having the conveniences of the larger cities, we have our "Near North" within a few hours of Toronto.

Where I live, North Bay, there are thousands miles of old logging roads that suit my passion well

CAMPING



On the little Jocko river near North Bay



On Trapp Creek near Chapleau


On the Mattawa River near Mattawa





Yup

I luv my Northern Ontario

[Champ]

20. The one with this guy

[HEyHEY]

22. seeing as how Van-city moved - I assume you mean Ontario n/t

[JohnLocke]

23. Actually, Nunavut has the lowest average temperatures. You did say cool.

[HEyHEY]

25. I can't buy that./.show me stats

[ConcernedCanuk]

35. I hate to be picky, well, then again, maybe not . . .

.
.
.

When did Nunavut become a Province?

[Don_G]

26. Other

Everything between the Artic Circle and the US Border.

We yanks do have our moments though....

[AntiCoup2K4]

27. Truthfully, I've only been to BC.

But when you can go from the Okanagan Valley (think Arizona with trees and water) to Vancouver Island within a day's drive, what's not to like?

Actually, I was trying to see more of the province last summer, but those goddamned forest fires kept me from going any farther north past Kamloops.

And the best part, if you're driving: 94 octane gas

[HEyHEY]

28. I sit in the Okanaan as we speak

[camero]

29. BC

Even though in Golden it stands for Bring Cash.

Alberta is second because of Jasper.

[HEyHEY]

31. Ah..golden

I currently have a "small" crush for a girl there....strange town

[camero]

32. I love the scenery

It just cost me $75 to pass through. And that was the cheapest one...lol


Edit: I should clarify. We had a little misunderstanding over the meaning of the term "brake check". I didn't think it took quite so long.

[chenGOD]

37. I voted Alberta, cause...

That's where I'm from. Born and raised in Edmonton. Lots of liberals up in Edmonton (due to the high number of blue-collar workers).

Alberta also has Banff, Jasper, the badlands, and the Vegreville egg.

[ronnykmarshall]

45. My step-mom is from Edmonton.

[terrya]

38. Ontario. And Toronto is one of the coolest cities in the world.

[noonwitch]

39. Ontario-it has Toronto, Stratford, the Hockey Hall of Fame, etc.

It's also right across the river from me.

[cmf]

42. BC hands down

The West coast is the best coast.

[UrbScotty]

43. Onatrio! It's right next to Michigan!

[Darth_Kitten]

44. Manitoba is where people are nicest.....

B.C. is overrated......too expensive.

[marigold20]

48. Alberta

It's next to Montana so it's got to be the best.

[JVS]

49. Quebec!
