[QUOTE=pentium;51501191]Okay, let me think. [editline]sadas[/editline] Right, so I got banned for saying it was cool that the soggy cunt called Nancy Regan died ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwiLSRp5F5g]along with a related video[/url]) and when I said I'd wait it out which usually I do, craptasket took the initiative to make sure of it that time and banned the account. I took that as I was such a joke I couldn't be at all trusted even though I had been allowed to keep the alt for a number of years. It was a pretty rough time in my life. There was also a lot of alcohol being consumed. I think a day or two later I had another massive mental breakdown and quit my job, slept in my car down on the coast for a few night while trying unsuccessfully to find a place to stay and work and between drinking heavily and watching people have conversations and laugh on Granville street I spent a fair amount of time leaning pretty far over the ledge on the viaducts wondering if I would feel the landing. I won't say Facepunch is responsible for where I almost went, but I'll say it was part of the catalyst.[/QUOTE] Christ man, I hope you're feeling better now

I don't actually live in Canada, but flagdog seems to think so. I wonder: which thread do I belong to now?

Though I guess it depends on which part of Canada you want to visit.
If you're going to go during Canada Day, you should go to Ottawa. It's pretty decent there, aside from that Toronto and Vancouver if you want more of a city feel. Algonquin Park areas are nice too, several lodges, camps, etc. there to stay at.
Come on up to Cape Breton if you like history or just scenic views, this place is all about that tourism industry and The Cabot Trail is an absolute must for anybody visiting.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51509416]I know Arc Nova is, but is anyone else here in Nova Scotia? Seems like we're kind of a rare breed on here.[/QUOTE] Haligonian here
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51509758]Oh jeez, you're like 10 minutes away from me. Glad to be out of Annapolis Royal. That place is all flash, no substance. Has a decent history, but it's kind of all it had when I lived there the past 15 years. Everyone was just so nasty for the most part (or downright sweethearts, there was no in between for the 400 people that live there) and not to slander the town all that much (especially since kids from the surrounding area outside of town were there with me), but the schools had so many fucking inbred kids that it was disgusting. Digby's a goddamned meth pit now and I always associate it with grey, cloudy days. I still haven't been to the Wharf Rat Rally. I'm actually wondering what all there is to do in Halifax since I'm around Sackville. Anything off the top of your head that would be worth taking the bus to town for? I went to Busker Festival a few years back and that was great, but I don't know what the yearly traditions are around here. It's a completely different lifestyle.[/QUOTE] The Oval is pretty nice if you enjoy skating, it just recently got updated with new facilities (and is free). There's a fairly decent bar scene most weekends, and mooseheads games are always pretty fun to go to with friends. Outside of that, there's the farmers market at the Waterfront (both Halifax and Dartmouth) every weekend, and the occasional events like the Pop Explosion, The Jazz Fest, and Nocturne fest throughout the year.
Pretty much everywhere you go in Canada is a beautiful place. Plus it's full of great national parks, with so many different types of landscapes.

[QUOTE=Arc Nova;51512293]Oh and pretty sure A_Pigeon is from Nova Scotia as well.[/QUOTE] Seems like there's a surprising amount of us, actually

Toronto finally decided it's that time of year again. This time though, I'm prepared. [t]https://scontent.fybz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/s960x960/15419636_10209708977973826_4841546299285065367_o.jpg?oh=f16a2405ef4a4caebbfdc4759980afee&oe=58BD091A[/t]
Anyone got any fun suggestions for someone living in Ottawa/Gatineau who's willing to drive. Just had a shitty break up and I'm looking for something up to cheer me up and get my mind off of it. Honestly up for any and all ridiculous suggestions.
