You want to move out ? Why don't you go to Sidney, Australia

Here's a thought

How many Aussies would pay to come to quebec on vacation compared to how many quebec residents going over to Australia for a week or 2

In the past year I've met not one, two but three Australian and New Zealanders who came here on vacation (between 2-6 weeks). One of them has a work Visa here now, and the other one is moving from Australia to Montreal in the coming weeks.

How smart and mature of you to insult and accuse those who disagree with you of being simple minded, blind, uneducated and having a low IQ.

I cant speak for other members, but my view on things is that no city is perfect. I see what's happening in Montreal/QC/Canada, and it makes my blood boil. But seeing positive aspects doesnt make me blind/retarded. Seeing positive aspects of where I live can only do me good, otherwise I'd be running around city hall with a chainsaw ripping all those fucking guys apart.

It's like a relationship, you can either choose and focus on ones negative aspects, but nobody is perfect and you'll be forever alone, or unhappy if all you do is focus on negatives. If you can't find anything to make living in Motnreal worthwhile to you, you probably won't find it anywhere else either, once the romance of living in a new place fades away, you will focus on the shit that plagues any city/town/village in the world.

I hate the great outdoors, i dont like snow (and even if i did i rather live 365 days without it and choose to go on a skitrip when i miss it), affordable estate/food is not a problem for someone who is well off, aussies have sceneries of their own, affordable university for 4 years in return for 40 years of pure buttfucking tax every paycheck,

Anything else?

For all you saying dark is a pessimist, being his childhood friend, let me say no one is more fucking positive.

We all wish to achieve your level of maturity. Everytime someone points something out : pessimist

That may be true but he comes off as a very depressed individual in all these topics.
 
lol are we really comparing Sydney to Montreal? I really love this city but over the years this place has turned into a total shit hole. Not to mention with all the bad reputation were getting because of the PQ government, who would really want to come here?

1974, 1977, 1980, 1995, the years where Quebec decided to sabotage it self, till then it was flourishing.

Même chose.

C'est bien mieux ça que d'être tellement dépressif que le monde pense que tu vas manger ton gun enfermé dans ton garde robe.
 
Sydney ranks as the 9th best city to live in on some site

Another newspaper from England has Sydney at # 7 in the world and has 3 other cities fr Australia in te top 10.

Calgary and Toronto are also in the top ten but quebec isn't on the list

What a shocker I know !
 
Here's the list

Face it quebec sucks
It's not about being pessimistic. It's about being a realist.

I'm not saying Canada sucks , I'm saying quebec sucks.
Canada still has 3 cities in the top 10 but montreal simply isn't one of them and never will be.


I've vacationed all over the globe and I down my life when I come back here.

Imagine trying to convince an Aussie that life is better here than over there.
They'd laugh in your face.

Perhaps a very small minuscule % find a corporate opportunity here from elsewhere but as far as te majority is concerned , quebec is an epic fail and so was this thread because the only person who thinks quebec is amazing is a person who lives here who doesn't know any better.

I'm done here

oui, parce-que c'est une mauvaise approche. Le monde ne parlent pas l'anglais car la langue est protegee par un pays. Le monde parle l'anglais car le pouvoir economique des E-U est tellement grand que leur langue parlee est une manifestation de ce pouvoir. La seule chose que le Quebec peut faire, a place d'adopter une approche a la Mugabe qui a coule le Zimbabwe, est de prosperer de facon economique. Sauf que propserite economique ne va pas main en main avec BS, gros gouvernement et syndicats aux pouvoirs illimites.

Le Quebec se coule par lui meme et la loi 101 est un effort desespere d'au moins sauvegarder son identite.
 
You can't compare Canada to US, or US to Europe because geographically Canada is unlucky, there is nowhere we can go to live in a warm climate.

That said in Canada, Montreal is the best place to live. If you look at it in a certain way, it is quite charming.

Fact of the matter is, to all you kids, it sounds like pessimism, but its actually being completely realistic.

As Logik properly proved, there isn't a single positive thing he can think of either, other than hills, nightlife, snow and a bunch of forests/lakes. Anything related to "affordability" matters if you are running at mid-income and below salary OR are on BS. Am I missing anything?

Case in point.

The only positive thing about quebec to me is cheap/safe electricity and no potable water scarcity. Everything else I can do without.


I rather go elsewhere to a "different set of issues 'll have to deal with" than


bridges and tunnels falling apart and have failed
Gangs running public construction
<+10°C 7/12 months
french people with inferiority complexes
regressive mentality
minimum 8 hour wait times in hospitals
waiting lists for specialized procedures/tests
lack of GPs
TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX buttfuck no lube TAX


I'm tired of explaining it in detail but once again, compare Quebec in the 70s, to the 80s, to the 90s, to the 00s, and see the kind of debt it and Montreal has gotten itself into vs overall progress. See what your political parties have been doing to remedy the situation. Extrapolate from that information the path this province is going towards and how they keep digging its grave deeper. The only outcome is a bankrupt and crumbling city/province with "hills, nightlife, snow and a bunch of forests/lakes" nearby.

No thanks.

the exact answer I was expecting. I find it funny how you just point out the same people over and over again and call them the same things "simple-minded, blind, in denial, uneducated and/or have a low IQ."

Now as I pointed out, Montreal has it's set of issues, and I agree with a majority of the ones you posted. BUT, I have a feeling you would move to another city that you think is the promise land, and you'd be unpleasantly surprised with a whole new set of problems you would constantly whine about.

As for being blind, uneducated and in denial, no, not really. I think the people you mentioned acknowledge these issues, and of course aren't thrilled by them either, but they don't let them make their lives miserable and try to make the best out of our city, which you can't seem to do.
