Sounds like you are suffering from the same syndrome as Marigold. I've known people from Clearwater, pretty decent folks! My cousin operated a motel there once years ago.
I lived in 100 Mile House back in 1968. Pretty normal, hardworking folks.
Don't move to Clearwater, BC and area

I've lived in Clearwater. It's been a long time but regardless, I really don't believe you. I've lived in Ucluelet too. I've lived in Prince George and I would take Clearwater over PG. any day. Clearwater is nestled between a lake and the Thompson River. You have to expect flies and wasps. We had some very large bees this year and - I don't live on the mainland. You are bound to have lots of radon in the soil there because of all the rock around the river and even in the mountains. Probably lots of granite in that area. You'll get radon from Granite counter tops. Quartz counters too. Cancer is everywhere and Clearwater doesn't hold the monopoly on it.
Clearwater is not an overly friendly town. People like to spend a lot of time chatting on the street but they don't seem to invite people in. Maybe that's why they live there. Years ago, there was a terrible murder there. It was not done by a local person so maybe since then, they back away from new ppl. more. As for medical, one of Canada's best doctors started there. He was too good for any small place and eventually moved to a big city. Bob Woolard. There were 3 Drs. there when we lived there and the hospital was a matter of about a year old. Things were scattered about but there was a pharmacy, a Lucky Dollar, a General Store and numerous others. Got gas at the Shell garage right on the hwy. No problems and it was usually less expensive than Kamloops. We moved from Clearwater to Surrey. Hated Surrey. Each town is what you choose to make of it., So, I suggest you stop whining and move on. Clearly, Clearwater is not for you. It still beats Kamloops. We all have our towns and cities we love or hate. It doesn't mean you have an obligation to inform people about how you feel. Contrary to some comments here, some of us like small towns and hate big cities. I'm one of them.Ucluelet is kind of a grubby little fishing village. Loved it there. I grew up in small town BC. 2500 people. Population is the same today. I am on a group face book page with over 900 of the people who either grew up there or still live there. I haven't seen these people in 50 years but the most beautiful thing is - they still know me. I still know them.
Any place beats prince george but I know for sure Clearwater can't be better than Fruitloops or Slurry
:lol:
Mini soap opera perhaps, a new community every week. Let the local run the show through a fill in the blank form and some multiple choice questions and nobody really dies. (hold the details from the locals so they are the ones most interested in what actually goes on in their town with names being named.
My primary criterion, which is not one of the choices in the poll, is whether I can find quality employmnent nearby that will generate a decent enough wage to feed and house my family properly. That has had a huge effect on where I live and I'm sure that I am not alone.
Though I live 50 odd k outside of 100 Mile, it is my main shopping center and where I do all my business. Funny thing is that in over 31 years of living in the area I have yet to see one drugged out creeped out weirdo. Matter of fact I was just finishing up my Christmas shopping on December the 23 and all I found was whole bunch of nice friendly people excited about the holidays and ready to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. But stick to your nastiness, the last thing we need is someone like you in our community.
Sounds like 100 M.H. hasn't changed much in 47 years that I can relate to. Unfortunately some people just thrive on misery, which would be fine if they kept their judgment of others to themselves.
So obviously I missed the new law stating one can not go outside you community to find a partner. In any event if you are moving to the area it is highly unlikely you will be related to anyone there so what is the problem?
SOunds like downtown Hongcouver. That is why most of us hate cities full of hopeless drug addicts and criminals.I bet you lock your doors even when you are home.
