damnit, where will I live?

 

[Socreges]

But we don't get ESPN! Whatever will you do without ESPN??

 

[Chipopo]

who's got the larger home, C-bake or MWorks?

 

[miyuru]

Canadians get ESPN, what...?

 

[explodet]

I think they can get ESPN on satellite.

Although I don't know what kind of reception you can get hidden in a closet in the basement.

 

[Socreges]

who's got the larger home, C-bake or MWorks?

I'd put my money on Mike. He lives in Kitsalano. Ooh-la-la!

 

[Chipopo]

Because I mean, I'm on my way up, and I'd just like to be comfortable. If I'm going to have to live in a fucking closet where the marijuana plants grow because I head towards C-bake, I'll drive on over to Works.

 

[Matlock]

SHINOBI, I'M COMING FOR YOU

 

[Particle Physicist]

we should create a gaf commune in canada...

 

[White Man]

He already said I've got the downstairs couch, due to my general mental stability problems. If I get there first, I'm taking a better spot, though. Like in bed next to Bish.

I call a spot next to the car in the garage!

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

dont forget me!

Ill sleep on the roof or something

 

[Mike Works]

I've got the basement suite all to myself, which happens to have 2 bedrooms.

The bidding starts at $600.

 

[explodet]

$600 CAD or USD?

Not that I'm putting in a bid, I'm already entrenched in Canada (and I don't have a basement, so no emigrating)

 

[pestul]

If you've really want to get far away from your home nation, I'll rent a room out for $400cdn a month. No utilities and you can share in some of our meals. Free cable and free dsl (through router).

The catch.. you'll be here ->

that's one damn big catch!

Newfoundland is the Alabama of Canada.

 

[Mike Works]

Holy shit, that guy's offering a friggin place in Newfoundland for $400?? I live in a nice neighborhood in Vancouver.

My offer now starts at $1000.

USD.

You know, if that's too much, you can always go to Iraq.

 

[pestul]

$600 would be a very generous offer.. damn. I live right in the heart of St. John's. Just bought this house with my fiancee in May and I'm having troubles at work currently. Most university students around here pay $400+ for a shitty room, no utilities and no nothing really.

 

[Richiban]

I call Bishop's pants.

 

[Incognito]

I'm going to give Shinobi's mother a nice ride for 4 years. Saddle up, partner.

:lol

 

[fennec fox]

Losers contemplating emigration to Canada based on one stupid election have the totally wrong idea.
























They should move to Alaska, not Canada! Cool summers! Free oil subsidies! Moose! Plus, it looks like the proposition that decriminalizes marijuana has a chance of passing!

 

[explodet]

Hey, Canada's thinking of decriminalizing marijuana too!
... of course, we have been for what seems like years now.

 

[fennec fox]

Once again I bring up the free oil subsidies! It's like they're paying you to smoke up!

Spoiler

By the way, the above is a parody. If you are serious, and not simply posting BS to a video game forum, then you don't deserve to vote anyway

 

[Agent Dormer]

Yeah, I need a job and place to live in Canada if Ohio doesn't end up going for Kerry.

 

[Mike Works]

Marijuana is practically decriminalized in Vancouver. I've smoked up with a bunch of people on set of some Richard Pryer movie.. while they were filming. No one cares.

 

[Dyne]

Yeah, weed is not a problem here. Just the other day, I saw an old guy rolling some joints up on the bus. When we got to our destination, he got out and smoked one.

 

[Fifty]

Canadians get ESPN, what...?

You get it? None of the dish companies provide it..and ESPN hasn't pursued it. Canadians do not get ESPN. Maybe some people can get it illegally, but basically no.

 

[StoOgE]

Can someone tell me how Oh Canada goes? And am I required to know the French version?

 

[Felidae_Khrall]

[DarienA]

What's the IT job market like in Canada? I'm kidding....













or am I?

 

[Diablos]

Heh, I too am going to eventually get into the computer networking field, so I'm interested too. I'm 21 now, but you know, I could move in the next five years.

 

[Azih]

Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa have. Vancover has the cooler IT jobs (EA etc.), Toronto has more (financial industry). Ottawa is mostly research stuff, though that's dwindled I think.

 

[shuri]

In Quebec. We have unlimited hot girls, an incredible night life, and cheap cost of living.

 

[Azih]

but also french people

 

[Incognito]

Bullshit, Diablos. You're not 21. Aren't you nearing 24 or 25?

 

[Hawksley]

Come to Vancouver. Maybe you'll be cast for X-Men 3! Oh joy lucky you!!! And if not, well, we have a healthy panhandling sector that's always looking for fresh, young go-getters.

 

[6.8]

In Quebec. We have unlimited hot girls, an incredible night life, and cheap cost of living.

And the highest taxes in North America. But then again, you do have hot women.

IT in Ottawa is slowly getting better. Nortel is still the central pillar of anything IT here though, so alot of it is hanging on them, or on small Telcos surrounding them. In fact, most of major companies here are Telcos. The only 2 major that I can think of that aren't are Cognos and Adobe.

*currently hunting for an IT job in Ottawa*

I don't know much about Toronto or Montreal, but I've heard both are in better shape than Ottawa, because they're not so centered on Telecom as we are here.

 

[bishoptl]

I don't know if I'm flattered or scared that there's a lineup to get into my pants and/or bed. One at a time, fellas!

 

[levious]

sniffing your shoes didn't bother you?

 

[Escape Goat]

Oooh, a sleep over at Bish's! We can all talk about whos all getting fat...and jellybeans....and stickers.

 

[bishoptl]

sniffing your shoes didn't bother you?

Not particularly, no. I wasn't wearing them at the time.

 

[calder]

No one wants to hide out from the draft/civil war/John Titor name-dropping in Manitoba? :| Maybe in 3 years when Mainline and I are chilling in the new arena (walk by it every day, looks pretty sweet now that it's almost done) and cheering on the Manitoba Penguins. Or maybe the Winnipeg Thrashers. Whichever, I'm not picky.

The rejection hurts. But then again, I've always imagined GAFers, much like internet forum users at large, to be a somewhat smelly ill-kempt group of mofos, so maybe it's for the best.



You know you want it.
