Hey, Im from Cali, if you read the title, and I was hoping to move to Canada one day, (I heard Exctacy is legal with license, and I want to own a Husky ) I was wondering if there are places where its partly warm weather throughout, or is all of canada cold pretty much all year? Because I like to toke and would probably feel better around rastas, since Im from cali, im kinda surfer/longboarder.. but yeah I was just wondering if there are nice parks and a little sunshine? Oh, are there night clubs too?
Well first off E can be had at most 7-11's and you don't need a license, same for weed and mushrooms. Second of all there is a huge rasta community on the east coast near st-john's and I hear the waves get pretty high, so good surfing. From what I hear husky's don't make good surfing buddies. The get really warm so unless you're gonna shave it bald I'd suggest getting a pet beaver or an otter if you find a good deal on it. There was another post on the canadian forums about people talking about their pet beavers and talking about all the cool stuff they can do. look it up. you should also check out immigration canada's website for details on the moving part of the plan.
Wow that helps out so much, tank you! Darn about the huskies though x) Might learn to surf soon though, yeah!
Vancouver and some parts or Alberta are the warmest spots in Canada. But don't be so down on winter, winter is like my favourite season. You got snow ball fights, skating across lakes or rivers, skiing and or snowboarding. Oh and tobagganing. I love winter eh.
E is illegal acually, and asside from the cops turining a blind eye to weed (because the courts just throw those cases out anyways) our laws on drugs arn't too different from anything in the states. It looked for a while like the federal government was going to officially loosen up on marijuana but the current Harper government put a kibosh on all that. Weather you ask? Most canadian's (something like 85%) live within 200km of the US border so most settled areas have a climate similar to your northern states. Southern Ontario even dips down to the point where it runs allong the same parralel as northern cali but because of the lake affect (weather created by the great lakes) we still get a shit-load of snow in the winter. The only temperate area where it stays more or less constant year round is the west coast, but it rains a hell of a lot too. Winter starts earlier and ends later the further north you go but for most of us it really get's going in december and lasts trhough to the end of march/early april. Fall and Spring are usually pretty cool, with cold nights, lots of wind and rain. Summer is usually in full spring by June and lasts through till mid September, temperatures range around 20-30 degrees celcius (not sure what that is in ferenhiet). As for rastas, you'll find a tight community of them in Toronto and Montreal for sure but otherwise not so much. However there's no shortage of rasta inspired head shops from coast to coast. If surfing and longboarding are your thing your either going to want to be on Vancouver Island on the west coast or out on the east coast. The surf scene is probably bigger on the west coast, with better breaks. I've even heard of folks surfing on the great lakes, but it's only decent in the winter and it's bloody cold, as in your still freezing your balls off with 2 wetsuits on. Parks and sunshine? of course, most of our cities have lots of green spaces and out of the city your never more then an hours drive or two if you want to reach something a little more wild and remote. Night clubs? Again, your going to find plenty in the bigger cities, out of the city though your more likely to find a pub type of setting. It's a pretty vast and diverse country though so I can't really answer any of these questions definitively because it's going to be different eveywhere, Canada is a collection of regional cultures and climates with a super multicultural make-up in it's urban centres. hope that helps peace
oh, and if you want a huskie you're going to need to be somewhere rural where he can be outdoors all the time to run, they're definatly not a good dog for the city, and prefer a climate with a long solid winter that being said the rural side of things, in my opinion, is the REAL Canadian expereince
Most of the West coast of BC is the warmest year round, however Southern Ontario has really hot, humid (and smoggy) summers. Parts of Alberta and the interior of BC have nice hot, dry summers. As for the E, can't help you. But I do know there are a lot of druggies in the city I live in, so I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to find. And like yovo said about the husky, it's best not to live in a major city. A more rural setting is better.
Hey man the perfect place is central ontario, you like surfing? we offer snowboarding/skiiing/and tubing. snowboarding is just like surfing only ur on snow. plus the summer gets as hot as 35-40 degrees celcius, not farinhight. dude the weed over here is the best and the clubs full of hot chicks are only an hour away, cuz toronto is an hour away from me dude woooooooooo
Ive heard it like everywhere, legal with liscense?! http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_law.shtml central ontario sounds like its more of a city..?
tofino, bc....its on vancouver island...it's a chill little town, lots of stoners and hippies also canada's best surfing spot
far from it, in a nut shell: Ontario is HUGE, like texas huge. Most of the province is rocky mosquito/black fly infested bush, we call this northern ontario and if it weren't for logging and minning and some really good hunting and fishing no one would live there. Most ontarioans live in southern ontario, which is tiny in comparison to the north and is geographically sandwitched between the great lakes and the ottawa and st lawrence rivers to the east. Southern ontario is divided into 3 regions, western, central and eastern ontario respectively. Western ontario is home to the bulk of the population with all the big cities like Toronto, Hamilton, London, etc. It's the big industrial/manufacturing centre of the country, there's no bush left, just burbs, cities and some really flat and boring farmland. IMO western Ontario sucks balls and is about as american as you can get in Canada and is the reason why most Canadian's hate ontario, or more particularly Toronto. Central ontario is far enough away from the major population centres that it's more a mix of small towns with lots of bush, lakes and nicer farmland on rolling hills. Peterborough is probably the biggest 'city' in the region, but I don't think it even has 100 000. All and all it aint to bad a place, but there's enough 'development' going on that it probably won't be to long untill it's a shit hole like western ontario. It's kind of like the cottage country for the city folks, which means they come here and bring the city with them (wankers). Central ontario is also known as the gateway to the north and is home to Algonquin provencial park, the largest wilderness park in the province (larger in size then some american states even) comprised of a stunning network of sparkling lakes and mixed woods. Algonquin gives southern ontarioans a taste of the mosquito/blackly infested bush to the north. The city folks like to drive there durring the summer month in there SUVs so they can paddle around for a couple of days in canoes and feel 'rugged' but are no were to be found come september when the weather begins to turn. Eastern ontario is pretty similar to central ontario but defineatly has it's own feel to it. It's also home to the nation's capitol (ottawa) but even this urban centre doesn't change the region's more or less rural style. Things just don't change much round there it seems. People seem to remember thier history and roots better. I attribute this to the fact that eastern ontario has central ontario to buffer it from the wankers in western ontario. Another nice thing about eastern ontario is that when your sick of dealing with the americanised/corporate culture that seems to be sweeping the province(or country for that matter) you can cross the border to french speaking quebec and pretend your in another country alltogther (which, if it were true, would suit many quebecors and I must say I can't blame them).
