[QUOTE=Arc Nova;48208828]Its fucking amazing dude. Id love to meet up there with some facepunchers. Louisbourg is a beautiful place and my hometown so i go every year[/QUOTE]
I love Louisbourg
Toronto is a hell of a city [i]because[/i] so many people live here.
How's the traffic situation on the roads and the TTC? I've been staying indoors and plan to for most of the duration of the games.
The TTC is the TTC, it wasn't likely to get any better, and it can't get much worse. As for traffic, the only route I drive regularly is the 400 north, and it's just as shit as always.
I actually went outside today instead of hugging the AC, summers been interesting so far

You just have to make your way in the unforgiving land of Quebec full of those filthy French people, I promise that I'm a little bit less filthy than my brethens.

Astoundingly, I'm not working Saturday. This also means I'm not getting out of bed before noon Saturday, but after that maybe.

If I had any time off work I'd consider it. Quebec's a nice place to visit, I just wouldn't want to live there.

I've only ever lived in Quebec so hard to say for me. I ASSUME Ontario or BC would both be good places to live but it's hard to tell since I've never actually lived in those places. I've only been a tourist in Ontario and when you're somewhere as a tourist, it's always much better.
Like I went to NYC last summer and it was amazing, would I live there with the experience I have of NYC? Absolutely. Would living there actually be cool? Nah, it'd probably be shit unless I was filthy rich.
With that being said, while I'm comfortable in Quebec, I do have a good amount of complaints about it and I suppose given the finances to in the future, I would totally move to BC or Ontario. Only problem is I love living in the big cities and buying something decent in let's say Vancouver or Toronto seems really expensive.
I'm probably going to Ontario this summer though, I was going to go to NYC again but with the current exchange rate, I'll just wait until the Canadian dollar stops being shit and instead I'm thinking about going back to Niagara Falls/Toronto for a few days.
BC is okay, but don't really expect to live in more than an apartment really.
I live pretty close to Vancouver and it's alright if you can deal with public transit.
I wonder why the TTC doesn't do 2 hour transfers where you can do whatever you want and go which ever direction and backtrack as seen on VIVA/YRT and other transit systems worldwide.
Seattle still uses a punch card like system and they still have two hour passes.
Heigou, Quebec City?

Why does the TTC/YRT/VIVA/GO/Mississauga thing/etc even exist. They should all get merged into metrolinx and be done. Heck, they're so incompetent they cant even finish the transition to presto.

Probably a bunch of stupid politics as usual.
Although GO is a little different, you pay per direction and distance. Mississauga is basically YRT (same half hour per bus service, 2 hour any direction transfer).
Presto is trying to be the unified payment method (besides exact change/cash) and I'd use it if the fucking TTC buses would have the damn Presto card readers. Same for all of the subway stations. I just use it for VIVA/YRT and GO right now.
I was pretty annoyed that I couldn't use Presto when boarding TTC buses in the York Region area when you pay using Presto to use YRT/VIVA because they don't have the readers on any of the TTC buses. So you either use YRT buses or pay $4 to get the paper transfer from either the VIVA stops or YRT buses, then when you board the TTC bus, you have to drop that paper transfer into the fare box and ask for another transfer if you're transferring to another YRT/VIVA/TTC North of Steeles bus. It's fucking annoying.

Bunch of new attractions and shit coming, new boardwalk and also a boat ride to the fortress from the boardwalk gonna be great
I'll probably take a trip down sometime this summer. I'd love to see the fort again
Unfortunately crabfest will be over by august 1st but we can still have a drink
I'm stuck in Milton for a few days before I leave, Ottawa and Montreal were really cool though.
Picking my courses for the last full year of University. As nerdy as an analogy as this is, it very much feels like a final dungeon - it will easily be the most difficult year, as I'm having to make up for some mistakes made in my 2nd and 3rd years. It has a pretty broad focus, going over basically every kind of thing I've studied the last four years. Furthermore, it's more or less my last chance to make or break my university career. Either I win here, or I lose for good.
I'm nervous but it seems right that this will be a challenge - the last level is usually the hardest, after all.

What are you taking?
Tentatively: my final two courses for a German Minor - one on German Culture, the other on European cinema. For my History Major, I'm taking courses on Immigration to Canada, Japan in the World, 18th Century Britain, Conflict/Cooperation in the Modern World, and Material Culture in Canada. Capping it all off is (hopefully) a creative writing seminar and two courses for my last breadth requirement - one on climate change, and another on forest conservation. So it's six credits total, which I'm then following up immediately with 1.5 in the summer.
I'd love to go to the meetup, meeting you guys would be cool and I doubt I'd wuss out this time :v:
I'm open to any day for the foreseeable future, I'm staying with family in Oakville so getting downtown isn't hard
