Where do you live

[Jewels]

Just for fun, I thought I would start a poll for which province you are from. I can only have 10 selections so I doubled up some, I am really sorry. If you are from a doubled up province please make a post and say what province you are from. Feel free to make post anyway if you want!

[Kashi]

I'm in Ontario, not far from Toronto.

[triscuitsmom]

I'm another one from Ontario... I live about 1.5 hours from Toronto :D

What about countries outside Canada?

What about countries outside Canada?

Sorry Bonnie! I remembered when I was thinking of making the thread but forgot when I actually made it and posted it. Is there any one else from outside of Canada? I will start another poll but what countries should I include?
Australia
Canada
England
France
Finland
Germany
Middle East
New Zealand
Norway (I noticed there is a mom from Norway awhile ago)
Sweeden

Anyone else want to add/change/delete any? My mind isn't thinking at the moment. The poll can hold 10 options.

Extreme SW Ontario - actually right on the US border. (which leads to much car seat envy when we make shopping trips across!)

You might be fairly close to me! I am in Manitoba, close to the Emerson border crossing. I have to admit that Kenora is pretty much as far East that I have ever been :rolleyes:

When you go shopping in the US where do you go?

[smurf]

I'm in Montreal, probably one of the few French-speaking members of this board!

[JaRylan]

I'm in Regina. But I've lived in various places in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. I know all about border envy - my parent's farm is 5 miles from the US and 20 from Manitoba.

[canadianmom2three]

Hmmmm my mom grew up in Kenora, but I'm pretty far from Manitoba - I'm right across the border from Port Huron MI, about 1 hour out of Detroit. When I go over, its usually to Target for cool seasonal theme things that we never seem to get in canada (did you know they had easter bunny shaped marshmallows?!?), and actually a lot of healthy food items we don't get over here. We usually hit Gap or Old navy as we don't have these in our town, and sometimes browse the toys r us or walmart, but really they are pretty much the same. Once in a while we go to the Chuckie Cheese as there isn't one of those for a good 350k from us, and the kids love it! The mall over there has a huge indoor carousel that costs only $1 to ride, and also an indoor play area, and the shopping carts are all shaped like little fire engines etc. It's just a fun place to visit every once in a while. Not to mention the price of gas is a DEAL, I can fill up my van for the equivilent of $60 can. when it costs me $80 here. Not that we drive over just for gas (although a lot of people here do, its literally 10 minutes away), but when we are over we do fill up. Shoes are way cheaper too, we have a payless here, and my DD's shoes for 1st communion were priced at $17.99 here, and over there the same shoes were $9.99. OK enough on my rant about the US, its a great place to visit, but Canada is a great place to LIVE:thumbsup:

[drjanetm]

I'm actually in the US right now, but about to move (back home) to Australia. As you can see from my sig, not too impressed with Aussie car seats, so taking ours with us....!!!

Erika, I holidayed in Quebec City last year - would move there in a heartbeat! I loved it. So European! Not sure what Montreal's like - is it similar in feel?

[smurf]

Montreal vs Quebec City: bigger, dirtier, more cosmopolitan, nowhere near as pretty (we're working on it...), but a really fun city to live in (at least that's what most visitors think). You can get by without speaking a word of French, surprisingly.
Oh, and drivers are not very courteous...

[cartuin]

I live in BC :thumbsup:

[Jewels]

So who live in MB with me????? I see there are 2 from MB, I was one, who is the other one?

[Loves2sing]

I am living in Calgary Alberta, and I was born and raised here, but come Summer, my new home will be just outside of Sasktoon Saskatchewan.

[mummy2jakob&erika]

I live in the Northwest Territories, around Yellowknife. :D

Okay, well I said I am from MB (I have lived here for almost 9yrs) but I grew up and lived in the lower mainland of BC for over half my life :)


Also, did you know in the poll on this thread the #'s for each province is blue with a line under it, if you click on that it tells you what each person voted for!!! It's kind of nice to be able to see it all in one spot where everyone is from :D

I know where she's going... not sure if I'm allowed to post it or not.

I grew up in Martensville and Warman... just north of toon town... now we're in Airdrie... just north of Calgary.:)

Okay as stupid as this sounds, my aunt, uncle and cousin(s) live in Airdrie! I think Airdrie is such a nice little city (well not so little now). We often stay with my aunt and uncle there when we are in that area, in fact we even went to the Canada day parade (my cousin drove a model-t car though it!) :)

We were at the Canada Day Parade! Small world, eh? You have to let me know next time you're in town!

We will be there July 6th -8th for the weekend, maybe an extra day or two. DH's Grandpa is turning 98 so we are going out for his birthday :)

And remember you promised you would stop and see me in Regina, if it works out for you of course, lol.

First off I like your pictures. you are funny, and will be my new bestfriend when I move. Just kidding, I am not a stalker. I am going to be moving to Osler, just temporarily, until we finish building our house in Warman. Where are you in regards to S'toon? It seems like everyone I have ever met is not actually from Saskatoon, but Osler or Martensville or whatever.

[leebeeag]

I'm south of town about 1/2 an hour on one of Saskatchewan's worst highways (If you're familiar with the area you'll know which one I'm talking about).

Going to Outlook? That has got to be the worst road ever! DH worked there in the summers during University and I used to drive up to visit him all the time... hate that highway! :p

I so badly want to go to Gold Coast I can almost taste it! I LOVE Australia! I have only been to Sydney, Cairns (and surrounding areas), Ayer's Rock, and Alice Springs, though. :o

Yup, you hit the nail on the head. On the bright side it's getting rebuilt, so we have construction from beaver creek to toon town :rolleyes: .

Nice to have another BC'ite here... I'm outside Vancouver...but spent most of my early adulthood living in the Bay Area (San Jose) in California. Talk about carseat envy ;) Even back then!
