I’m tired of hearing you all complain about how much Belmont’s cost, yes they are 13$+ a pack, not 8 like in Toronto, things cost a bit more here, get the fuck over it.
I’m tired of hearing how “backwards” and “uncultured” people from the east coast are, were not all a bunch of “close minded liberals”. We’re not townies, we live in the biggest city east of Montreal. Either like where your studying and give our city a chance outside of your little circles at Dal or go the fuck back to Ontario. —Not working another Job on Coburg

People actually have culture shock, that’s all. It IS a big country.
but there are weirdo’s everywhere. Ever been to Kitchener?
now comes on o.p., we’s ain’t no dummies herein, we’s just got some edemacation problems is all. shucks, even the most smartest person here does some right stupid up things herein this city place. hyuk, hyuk.
Belmonts are not $9 a pack in toronto; they’re $11.50. I know because 8 moved here (I’m canadian again) & I smoke them.

The squirrel in Point Pleasant Park agrees.
I’ve actually really liked it here so far. I don’t think I love it, but I definitely like it. The sheer prevalence of whining honestly puts me off more than any of the problems that are being whined about – Halifax honestly isn’t as bad as people here constantly fret about it being. It’s definitely a lot smaller than I’m used to (but I used to live in London and loved the hell out of it, so I’m a bit slanted in that regard) but it hasn’t been nearly as much of an issue as I initially worried about. I enjoy being here.
…wish I could find some weed in this city, though. But you didn’t hear that from me <_<
Mentats – to guarantee price, quality and security, I have to travel about 40km. I haven’t the foggiest how to hook you up, it was a year before I got to do busiess directly. Don’t buy from the sketchies, you’ll get bug spray.
Also there kid, as I’ve said in more than one bitch. I’ve traveled half the world, I’ll always come home to Nova Scotia :>)
Buy it off of you? lol
Sorry man, no. But I wil smoke you up 😉
Yeah, might take you up on that. You know, whenever Dal decides to unlock the chain tethering my studio desk to my leg.
Ahhh yes. Torontonian elitists. It happens so much that it’s not even worth bitching about. It’s like bitching about people having more than eight items in the “8 items or less” lineup. It’s part of life, and it’s not gonna change.
The grass is always greener on the otherside (so it seams)
Toronto is a tough place to live too. I’ve lived in the Ocean Towers in Halifax and I’ve lived in some crappy places in Toronto too. The only difference is Toronto’s crappy neighbourhoods are much bigger. But still crap.
I’ve never met any Toronto Elitists in Toronto either as they live in another part of that city then from where I lived. There are 2.5 million people in toronto and the majority of them actually don’t have shit. And the majority live in shitty neighbourhoods too.
Honestly I don’t see any difference, Same shit different pile.
Actually Quebec city is the largest city east or Montreal, it has about 2 times the population of HRM.
I’m from Halifax and this is the worst place to live. yeah its beautiful (whatever) and everyone is sooooo nice; that is if you like incompetence, ignorance, laziness, intolerance, garbage, the dstruction of community, history, the paving of green spaces, etc etc. I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy. AND the worst thing about Halifax is that all us Haligonians think we are soooooooooo adorable, we never have to change!!! We’re perfect! We’ve thought this for 2 centuries, which is why we are BACKWARD. Grow Up Halifax. Your shit stinks to high heaven. Do something radical: evolve, put in a hard days work, learn how to drive, conduct yourself and others with dignity. Just sayin’…
I moved here over 10 months ago. I chose to come here, and I haven’t really regretted it at all. Trust me yyy – wherever you go, you’ll see the same thing. This is a great small city that has a lot of options. Bureaucratic non-sense is rampant everywhere. Hell the whole political system in the US is fucked up beyond belief thanks to right wing nut jobs. So that’s a whole country written off!
hmmm yea I would think real TO elitists would go to : Mcgill Western or Queen’s ; these people you speak of are probably wannabees 🙂
