Hamilton, Ontario.

[DaCommie1]

Toronto here.

Speaking of, how about that "snowmageddon" last night, eh? It was still raining last I checked, some snowstorm.

[Bites]

Oshawa, Ontario here. I had to bring three pairs of shoes and socks to school, for the walk to school, walk to lunch and back, and then the walk back home. My only pair of boots left scabs that stayed for weeks on the back of my feet last time I tried to wear them (incredibly tight, my feet are huge), and I haven't yet had time to go buy a new pair.

[OogalaBoogal]

I added everyone that posted their info to the list!

Hoping it cools off 3 or 4 degrees for the weekend, Supposed to be in a Whiteshell snowmobile derby on Saturday.

[DaysBefore]

Despite complaining, winter has really been mild here in Nova Scotia. Most of the snow has melted from my yard and the roads are clear as can be. I haven't even needed a coat these past few days. I hear March can get pretty bad, though.

[OogalaBoogal]

I'd like to announce that I'm planning a meetup in Halifax in July!

[Elv02]

Add me into that list :v:

Kitchener Ontario

[DaCommie1]

I know of a couple other Canadians and their locations, but I don't know if they want to be added to the list.

[OogalaBoogal]

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;39739556]I know of a couple other Canadians and their locations, but I don't know if they want to be added to the list.[/QUOTE]

If their location was publicly disclosed I'll put them on the list! PM me the names!

Are the internet speeds and prices really as bad as I hear, even in the highly populated areas like Vancouver? I suspect the internet is bad in rural areas.

Price is fine in rural area's
But the speed is awful, it's barely one step up from dialup

[OogalaBoogal]

[QUOTE=toaster_2.0;39739996]Are the internet speeds and prices really as bad as I hear, even in the highly populated areas like Vancouver? I suspect the internet is bad in rural areas.[/QUOTE]

Prices are pretty reasonable, I live in Halifax and have 50Mbps Fibre for 30 dollars a month.
