Alot of people have already discussed the pros and cons of living in Toronto vs Vancouver.

But here's my question: I was told the reason alot of people dont pick Vancouver over Toronto even though its such a lovely place to be is because its more expensive than Toronto but with even less employment opportunities. Is this true? If not, why wouldn't most people be trying to live in Vancouver if theyre both expensive anyways and vancouver is seen as this paradise weather city in Canada with gorgeous landscapes?

I lived in both, Vancouver island is bigger, has more population, but still didn’t make it as a province while PEI did. Appreciate the history lesson.

I know that America doesn’t pay their servers well which is why they justify tips- but Canadians workers are getting paid like any other jobs, then why are restaurants and other places asking for tips and even look down on you if you don’t tip?

If so, are you going somewhere to watch it? Will you be watching with friends?

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful day! I was in Oosoyos a couple of years ago and it was a wonderful surprise to end up there for Canada Day!

i’m being quoted 4-8k for braces and as a uni student how do i manage this with so many other expenses? no insurance covers it .

My brother is visiting home country for first time and my mother wants to send gifts for relatives.

I suggested something Canadian like maple syrup?

Any ideas for gifts that are not super expensive (a lot of relatives 😅) but has a Canadian identity?

For maple syrup, any suggestions for brands?

Born & raised in Canada here!

I am 17 & autistic, so I admittedly don't have a lot of life experience & take some things too literally.

I hear a lot of fellow Canadians bragging about how our healthcare is supposedly free.

But, I know many people who started a GoFundMe or fundraiser for medical bills, or for time off of work.

Also my mom recently injured her ankle, & the cast & recommended physio aren't covered by the insurance of most Ontarians. Thankfully her specific insurance plan covers possibly all of it.

So i'm asking why does free healthcare seem like a big fat lie?

i just got quoted 1000 monthly premium. what a fucking joke

I've been seeing more and more of these stickers on vehicles lately in the Maritimes. I do not want to interepert it the wrong way, but isn't that group considered an overseas gang? Thank you!

How has being Canadian treated you today?

Would this not help deter citizens of convenience and money laundering issues plaging the country?

Some might argue it already is. New and older immigrants to the country have grown it's popularity. Add to that, Canada's national teams growing success.

And given how expensive hockey is to equip kids, soccer is much more affordable and manageable for many families.

As a result, will Canada perhaps grow to be a soccer powerhouse in the future?

Im looking for somewhere downtown Toronto to watch England vs Panama with a good crowd. My local spot is so bad so im trying to avoid that. Anyone know a good place?

EDIT: I saw somone commeted about Dog & Bear pub, that was a good choice

I work for an American company and its been about almost 2 years since I have working with my American colleagues. Previously when I would be sent a meeting invite on a Canadian holiday or Canada day I would politely remind them that sorry I am off that day.

Tonight I got home and just received a meeting invite from my boss for next Wednesday which of course is Canada day. Without providing an explanation I just rsvped No. I have a feeling it will be asked tomorrow why I declined. I shouldn't have to keep reminding you of Canadian holiday, especially Canada day and No we are not working that day.

Next time ill call a meeting on July 4 and said attendance mandatory. Plead ignorance and ask what's independence day?
