I find the further away you get from the Maritimes or Prairies (Man and Sask) the more impersonal people get. On Vancouver Island we practically spit at each other in passing.

lol. It does, but they all have their reasons. We find the men are much more respectful of the prostitutes when they never know if it's a drug addict of a PTA mom.
Sorry Karrie - totally my bad.
So the whole "conscription into prostitution if your property taxes aren't paid" is on the down-low, too?
Edmonton really does have the kookiest by-laws, eh?

Karrie - when I was submitting resumes, I would list my committee affiliations under the interests section.
Sooooooo... if you errmmm..... sit (?) on the SAC, may I suggest you type out the full name of the committee on any resumes you might ever submit?
Just sayin.

what do i like about living in edmonton?
less snow than NL, and more cool stores.
Unfortunately for edmonton, that's about it for me. I'm glad to be out of it. It's a rat-race with outrageous rent prices and housing issues.
However, I had a good time there, albeit breifly. I miss my buddies from there.

I'm also looking to move to Edmonton...but this thread hasnt cleared things up for me
...i've lived in montreal my whole life, so living anywhere else for me sounds horrible..but unfortuantly i have no choice...i had a couple of questions: how multicultural is it? is it bilingual? would u compare edmonton, to mtl style (outgoing, amazing night life) or more ottawa style (quieter, ideal for families, clean and friendly)?

We have a lot of Halal delis, Chinese shops, a few Italian markets.
For nightlife, Jasper Avenue and Whyte Avenue are very busy areas, with tons of stuff to do any given weekend.
But if you come comparing Edmonton to anything but Edmonton, you'll frustrate yourself very quickly.

Hmmm. We're a fairly multicultural city from MY perspective, but, I grew up in predominantly white towns, and have never traveled out of the west, so, I'm not sure how we compare to Montreal. I can guarantee that we have less of everything (we're much smaller), and I know we do not have the Jewish population that Montreal has.
