  1. I would second that. I have been to London, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, St. John’s, and Halifax and I find that those downtowns are more intact and vibrant then most cities in the United States. Canadian cities where built on European/British Models and do not seem to have been as impacted by sprawl as American cities. Also, Canadian cities in the 60s did not suffer from race riots either. With the exception of Calgary and Edmonton, you just don’t get as much of your “typical” sprawl, although, eastern Toronto feels like it goes on for ever!
  2. I ALMOST CAMPLETELY AGREE. ANYONE who says Canada is "Tacky and poor" CLEARLY has not spend a great deal of time there! AND just FYI, I'd take Calgary and little ole Sackatoon over the cesspools of Buffalo, Detroit, Gary, or a few places here in Ohio, ANY DAY! To quote an earlier comment, Canada is "The Promised Land"! Vive Le Canada! And while I can't speak for Northern Michigan, I would say Northern Quebec and the Canadian Rockies can compete with the beauty of Northern Michigan or any places for that matter!
  3. I don't think anybody was debating that! Of course its better even NF, NY. But thats not saying much.
  4. Sigh..... Canada, how I miss thee!! And FYI, I HATE the ROM addition. And Downtown Niagara is soooo cheap looking. But great photos!

    Aww. Well you work on that in '09. OK? I'm a poor college student. No money for traveling the world unfortunately. I know the feeling, I don't get to go to Canada nearly as much as I'd like too!
  6. Road trip anyone? lol

  9. "McCain also opposes amending the U.S.Constitution, but for different reasons. McCain says it is a state issue. He is on record supporting constitutional bans on gay marriage in both California and his home state of Arizona where a similar measure is on Tuesday’s ballot". I am SO gonna ENJOY watching the SOB lose tomorrow! Call me crazy, but I thought the Consitution was suppose to grant and protect our rights as tax paying citizens, not take them away!

    Amen! I adore Vienna! Its such a lovely city and of all the big Germanic cities, the most beautiful. But that just my opinion. Still love Berlin though!

    "Well I've got Island blood running thru my vains so I prefer warm weather beach climates". I'm a big ole Krout so I prefer the cooler climates! Hence my love of Canada (Thats not the ONLY reason though).

    If I had to pick number two and three, it would be Dresden and Vienna, followed by Paris.

    Awesome pics. I really like the last one!

    My vote goes to Berlin. Its not the most beautiful city in Europe or Germany for that matter, but it has an amazing and interesting story and, if you look hard enough, you can find neighborhoods that are just as attractive and lovely as those in London, Rome, Paris, or Vienna.
  22. Whats your favorite International City and why? I tried to include the big ones, like the US thread did, but If you'd like me to include a city, please let me know! [Edit]: Fixed typo in title - rob_1412
