Well I live up in Toronto. Low Crime, pretty clean, crappy subways and great restaurants. There's always some parade or festival happening...from summer to fall. Winters can be brutal (If you think PA is bad). I've never used the healthcare or social services extensively but they are universally covered...which brings me to the biggest detractor: TAXES! Can't get enough taxes here! Since the dollars are at parity, I doubt Americans are gonna come running here for tourism since they'll see everything as more expensive with the bonus of a higher tax rate.
I live in Springfield TN, small country town where everyone knows everyone. Lots of rednecks. Not much else to say.
When I want to have fun I go to Nashville with some friends or back to my old town, Clarksville, and do whatever the hell is fun there.
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
I feel that I should hate Toronto purely to continue to propagate the rivalry between the two cities.
Even tough I can't go, I bum around there all the time, I'd probably be there on the meetup day anyway
Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
pennsylvania is the best sylvania
And if you pretend hard enough, Harrisburg is the best city in PA(Hershey is)

Aww cmon, you guys'll always be #2

I'm kidding. Been to MTL a few times. People see the license plate and the switch into English mode pretty quick. I've heard a few stories where English-speakers are refused service or whatever, but never seen that in person. The franco-craze is a little weird tbh. I mean we have dual-language signs everywhere here and our licenses are dual language as well. I've never heard anyone speak french here EVER! I laughed when I heard some of the subway signs in Montreal are only in French. Even Paris has English sub-signs :P

It really depends where you are in the city, the more east the more French. I mean I get why it started but how it is going about now is ridiculous. At this rate, they are trying to turn Anglophones and Allophones into second-class citizens. It is ridiculous.
THOUGH COMPLETELY FINE IF YOU ARE GAY. I love that I live in a place where I am more likely to be discriminated by my frist language (I do speak French but it is my second language) than my orientation.
All the emergency signs in the subways are in both, as well as the machines to get your tickets (though defaults in French). Though if you go to any of the provincial gov't services such as for your medicare the signs basically say that they will only serve you in French, which I sorta get but don't completely buy.
The capital of Canada. Zzzzzzzzzzzz... Typical for a government city, right?

I live in Edinburgh, and I like living in Edinburgh. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life here, though, because the weather sucks and it's a struggle to find good quality housing at a reasonable price. It could do with a bit more diversity when it comes to ethnicities, but it's good enough to have a handful of restaurants serving each of the global cuisines and then some. It's also apparently got the highest number of takeaways / restaurants per person in the UK, which is great because I love to eat. xD One thing I like about eating in the UK is how, while there are still places like McDonalds, KFC etc, pretty much every restaurant out there and 90% of takeaways are locally owned and therefore rather unique.
The city of Edinburgh is beautiful and great for tourists and locals alike. There are lots of things to see and places to go and a plethora of festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival which is the largest arts/comedy festival in the world. The city quite literally (literally literally!) can double it's population during August when the festival is on due to how many people come here.
The people aren't as awkwardly welcoming as some people in Glasgow can be, but aren't as distant as people in London. It's a nice balance for me and reminds me of how it is in Auckland. The nightlife I suppose could be better when it comes to clubs (I'm told larger cities are better), but I'm no clubber so I don't care. It has some good pubs and some good live bands playing at them, and the price of a drink is manageable if not amazing.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
