Can't be anyone specific. This isn't about personal attacks after all.

Downtown Vancouver's viewcones/height restrictions, really are a good thing. Creating bizzare and random locations around the city, where one must be able to see a mountain, is smart. Without said policy Vancouver would not have its wonderful tabletop skyline and instead would have tall soaring, awe inspiring skyscrapers. Just for a minute think how truly terrible that would be.

Acknowledge! You are either for us or against us! And btw, you are very insecure and have an inferiority complex for not acknowledging,agreeing with or giving the appropriate kudos. (tongue in cheek of course)

It bothers me when people post about how successful their city is, so I made a thread to make fun of them

Statistics Canada must have a hate-on for [fast-growing city in ____] because ___ and ____ weren't included in the CMA! That would add ____ people to the CMA! If they did, the population would be ___! Insane!

When are those guys going to change the CMA boundaries so that everyone can see just how fucking awesome we are? The Stats-Canada bias towards Ontario has to stop.

I can't think of a single thing that Montreal has over Toronto. Not a single thing!


Those poor Montrealers. Wallowing in their memories of when there was actually a race between Montreal and Toronto. There is no such contest. The race was won a long, long time ago.

Those Hollywood North special effects are great, very realistic, but it's not even real snow! Everybody knows that!

Hamilton is totally a part of Toronto. The cities grew into each other, and we all know that when two cities touch the smaller one becomes part of the bigger one automatically.

PER CAPITA, PER CAPITA, PER CAPITA!!!!

This is the only thing that count!! Don't care about absolute number, totally irrelevant!

Per capita numbers really show that we are really punching above our weight!!!
