Canada General Mk.2 - Sorry! Edition

>tfw Winners men's "runway" section is shit

I'm salty about the fact that women's gets shit like Celine, Rick, SLP, etc. and men's is stuck with like Kooples and that shitty Versace line. Best I've found is Neil Barrett, but it wasn't even a good piece

>>11686828
no, you need to drive 6 hours east for the fashion capital of the country...

>>11686984
Eh I feel like it's a mind set sort of thing. You have to make an effort to find stuff to do and be in an area of the city that doesn't depress you. I'm happy living there and I have lots of friends so keeping busy isn't hard. Granted if you live in the north end yer fucked that area is just sad.

>>11686252
>Small west central alberta town
Pros
>Beautiful landscapes, mountains, friendly people (unless you're a minority)
Cons
>No one has fashion sense
>rednecks and farmers everywhere
>cold as fucking shit in winter (-50c)
>No good restaurents, no good anything, need to drive 3hours one way to nearest city to buy anything that isn't mass market and/or walmart

gonna try terrorwave in canada, getting sambas, have torn jeans, paint stained shirt, gonna buy a fat knife and a nice military jacket at the surplus in kingston.

off topic, anyone got good guidelines for buying lululemon? I just got hired by them and will be getting a really good discount. Never worn any of their clothes before but now that I have the discount i'll most likely try to cop a few pieces.

>>11687984
depending on where you are you might either get
1) the cops called on you
2) be confused for homeless
3)not noticed (usually occurs in big cities)

I did so well at Gravitypope yesterday toronto friends

http://shop.reigningchamp.com/products/reigning-champ-x-asics-bomber-heather-grey

They had that on sale for 180 and then told me about a buy one get one free, so I got a free carhartt WIP flannel.

>>11687012
lately toronto is one the hype map because of meme rappers

>>11688255
I didn't like anything from that drop except maybe the sneakers, but so long as you're happy. I do like that area for more casual shit. J+O, Lost & Found, Oliver Spencer, some of the vintage shops. Dynasty has beautiful plants too. I found an SNS Herning sweater at that mens second hand store up on ossington for like $70 recently. Pretty stoked.

>>11688492
omg no kidding. And the koreans are the only ones doing it properly.

Originally a small town outside Ottawa, in Kingston attending Queen's. Most of Eastern Ontario is pretty much the same.

Before McGill fags want to start shit, I got in there too. Went to Queen's cause parents pressured me into it. Like Queen's a lot but Kingston is a shit town. I play on the football team and we played McGill last week in Exhibiton and being in Molson Stadium and driving through old Montreal almost made me want to transfer.

Pros:
> Super chill, well respected school
> beautiful girls (coming from a small town, this is big)
> Beautiful campus with lots of shit to do, I love the gym, libraries, everything
> Not terrible housing prices
> Everything is pretty close by
> The waterfront is beautiful, daily parties on the pier
> Student population is tight knit

Cons:
> like every other Uni in Canada, SJW ridden. I have to tread carefully when talking politics.
> Lots of shitty housing, north part of downtown is super sleazy
> Bar scene is shitty
> too many townies. I'm from a small town and can handle rednecks, but these are just drugged up white trash with bad tattoos in pickups pretending to be country.
> roads are shit
> Kingston is too small to attract high end stores, but big enough to attract sketchy white trash
> most students leave during Summer

>>11688556
Cont.


If I'm being honest though, I really miss my small town. I go back often and hate leaving. Its definitely not effay but its so peaceful. At university I'm always busy and in my little down time people are always dragging me out to bars and to parties or to do some bullshit. Theres always SJWs protesting some bullshit or theres people blocking to student centre with some dumb intrepretive dance/art shit.

When I go back to my hometown, everything is calm. Old people go to church on Sundays. I get to see my old friends and we fish and go swimming or play pickup ball hockey or video games, or whatever. I get to lift at my old HS gym with my friends. I was one of the few kids from my school who went to Uni. I know I'm gonna make way more than the others that stayed behind, but I get really pissed regardless. I hate that I'm miserable and all the people that stayed behind are happy in their low paying jobs and get to spend their afternoons relaxing and I'm supposedly the one that made the "right" decision and went to school and am getting stressed out all day and night.

>>11687984
Queens??

>>11686252

Montreal

>Pros
Low cost of living. It's cheap for a reason

>Cons

FUCKING EVERYTHING ELSE

Montreal is an absolute shithole, most overrated city in North America by ignorant young people who simply don't know better.
Ugly architecture outside downtown, horrible weather, girls are hot by American standards but ugly as fuck compared to Europe (except maybe U.K. kek), health care is garbage, school is garbage, the whole city just sucks ass.

St. Catharines

I'm moving to Kingston for uni from London (UK) in two days, is it nice? I've never been to your continent before - how do you guys stay /fa/ in the winter when it's ball shrivelingly cold?

>Ottawa
Pros
>Rideau center
>Lots of shops
Downtown
>cheap rent
>free activities
>parc de la gatineau is awesome for long bike rides and mild hiking
Cons
>need a car to get to fun places
>bus are shitty
>people are cold
>it gets fucking cold during winter
>lots of basic white girls at uni

Its not that bad it just mostly seems empty and lonely since only families live around here hence no after hours or rave party, not a good drug access and if you do its bad.

>>11690680
Down jackets and long johns. My parents grew up in Kingston and it's kind of a shithole. The campus is nice, the rest of the town not so much. Princess street has come a long way though.

From London, Ontario
Pros
>pretty decent music scene
>Some nice architecture
>Gets really cold in the winter

Cons
>ridden with really basic uni students
>lots of rich Asians everywhere, but none of them dress well
>any fashion scene present is shit and dictated by the students at the uni
>nothing much to do

>>11688852
St. Catherines has a pretty good art scene desu
also it's a reasonable distance from Toronto and the housing is super cheap
no idea why you're complaining

>>11690793
Not him but that's absolutely not true.
Niagara has been dead for years both job wise and music wise.
It's also not cheap anymore either.
Who the fuck puts on for St. Catharines? Yeesh, get out while you still can.

>>11690807
I live in Toronto and have only really ever been down there to party but idk man it seems pretty good to me esp. considering you can get a detached house for like $300k

>>11690735
Will I be able to survive in a thick wool coat and lots of layers or are technical cold weather clothes completely essential? Also I've heard that boots not specifically designed for winter won't be warm enough either, this true?

>>11690750
>Michael Kors opened at Masonville
>Some nice pieces, but it's being overrun by upper-middle-class moms
>They buy the ugly overpriced bags with MK plastered all over, trying to look rich
>(Everyone knows rich people don't TRY to look rich)
>Walk around with unwarranted superiority complexes and then come into my store asking about tea-tox programs with their poor neutered husbands in tow

but I guess St. Catharines is off the table now...

>>11690888
The city died when GM closed down. There's really nothing there man, not trying to crush your dreams or anything but I'd really suggest against investing in property down there unless it's in like a winery NOTL or something.
Canada in general seems like a sinking ship.

>>11690847
It depends on how long you're spending outdoors. Like I couldn't go camping in the winter without going full Michelin Man, but if you're just going to class, to a bar, back home etc, layering smartly will probably be fine. And winter boots are not necessarily required. You'll need wool socks, maybe even two pairs, and your boots should be proofed to resist water and snow, but you don't need insulated Sorel's or anything. Make sure they have good grip, like a lug sole, and you should be fine.

>>11690888
Hamilton is about as far west/south that's safe to go. At least it's improving rather than being stagnat or even declining.

>>11690927
Nah man it's cool, I'd rather hear about shit rather than go and buy something only to find out I hate it and then not be able to get out
No one can give me a straight answer on whether or not the housing market is going to crash anyways
>>11690950
Honestly I haven't even looked at Hamilton, might have to do that

>>11688843
this isn't even an opinion this is just fucking stupid.

I live in Montreal btw.

>pros

Yes the cost of living is cheap.

">Cons, everything else"

Really? What about the fact that Montreal was rated the top city in Canada for students, the best city in North America for food in 2016?

The architecture outside of downtown is not shit at all, in fact most of the architecture in the Plateau is pretty world renowned for being quaint and beautiful as well as colourful. The downtown is literally just regular business towers, that's what you consider great architecture you fucking retard?

The music scene here is easily one of the best in Canada, and you can't say the nightlife is better anywhere else in Canada. I've lived all over the country and Montreal is the only city with any true drinking and party culture as well as all around appreciation for food culture. Seriously, try having a night out in Vancouver, Halifax, Ottawa, hell even Toronto can be pretty shit if you're not willing to shell out major cash. I can spend $40 all night and get good food and drinks and still have some leftover to do something fun.

Yeah we get it the construction sucks and yeah the weather is bad, but other than that it sounds like you're the real "ignorant young person" in this situation you fucking dipshit. Move to fucking Edmonton or some shit and come back and tell me Montreal is an "absolute shithole" compared to cities like that with a straight face.

>Really? What about the fact that Montreal was rated the top city in Canada for students, the best city in North America for food in 2016?

Not an argument.
By that logic, Lil Wayne or any other shitty rapper produces "objectively" good music because he is "world renowned".

Also, thank you for proving my point:

>hurr durr best food
>hurr durr best music scene
>hurr durr best drinking culture

This is EXACTLY what I am talking about. These are the EXACT "arguments" used by 18-30 years old retards like you to justify the so-called "awesomeness" of Montreal.

News flash, young faggot: not everybody measures the quality of a city based on it's restaurants, concerts and nightlife. No offense, but just think about how ridiculous this statement is.

>Move to fucking Edmonton or some shit and come back and tell me Montreal is an "absolute shithole" compared to cities like that with a straight face.

I don't doubt they are worse, but I don't hear people cheering for Edmonton nearly as much as I hear about Montreal being "a great place to live in" because hurr durr restaurants music and nightlife.

>>11690847
You'll probably be fine in regular stuff. But its fun to go full arctic-explorer-core on really cold days. Try some red wing boots.

mac senpai wya

I live in Kelowna and tourist season is dying down so biking to work is less hazardous,
though I'm going to miss the people watching
The thrifting here is alright and I've found some pretty rad find.
I'm probably going to go for a trip though all the smaller thrift stores on my day off tomorrow and look for some sweaters and maybe a plain backpack to put patches on.
hours are going to be a little reduced so I'm going to apply around for a fun chill part time job, maybe a barista or warehouse gig.


Pros
long summer and good weather
close to vancouver

Cons
less than 1% vacancy rate
sunshine tax
jobs are scarce outside of tourist season
aggressive old people
no arts/fashion scene
music scene is dominantly dubstep, metal, and folk

I used to live in winnipeg and I miss it if only for it's size and diversity in restaurants

I'm thinking about getting a transfer to vancouver or toronto, has anyone lived in both? I'd love to hear how they compare
I;ve heard rent is a little cheaper in toronto, transit is better in van, sushi is better in van, restaurants in general are better in toronto, what's the consensus on the fashion scene in toronto and van?

>>11692145
>Maybe improving, but I can't tell.
If you don't get out of Westdale, you'd never notice.

Lots of areas are still filled with welfare whores, but street like James, Locke, Ottawa etc have come a long way in the past 5 or so years. I don't think anyone would have gone near James North 10 years ago.

>>11690857

Any haliburton fags? I just moved here for school and I don't think I've talked to anybody in like 5 days.

Cute town though

Pros
Couple good restaurants
Hiking
Scenery
Big lake in the middle of town
If you live in town everything is in walking distance
College town during the school year
Cons
Fuck there is nothing to do except smoke pot and go for walks, I just want school to start

Wudup Queen's senpai

Montrealer who moved to Kingston in grad school.

Pros:
> Pretty much everything the other dude said
> Gotta reiterate the part abut the girls. Very basic but the vast majority are fit and pay attention to their physique.
> Tons of awesome architecture, really old ass buildings and charming houses
>Easy af to meet people (not sure why this is)
> Super walkable and right in between 3 of Canada's largest cities
> Bar scene is good in the sense that you don't have to deal with uber/driving drunk other bullshit because you can just walk home. There isn't much diversity in bars but it's all concentrated in one area which is nice.

Cons:
> Not sure about SJW shit, there are a lot of rich WASP-y Ontario boys though
>Shopping selection is pretty decent for size of the city (the city kills Sherbrooke, Guelph and even cities several times its size in most respects desu)
> North part of downtown is not even that bad, some seedy fuckers but they're harmless and will probably only steal your bike
> Summer is nice af but yeah everybody leaves
> No private sector jobs and too much competition

>>11688567
It'll get better. Trust me man, my ex decided to pursue the life you're talking about. She's 21 with a kid and married to a dude with a dead end job. As soon as you're done busting your ass things will get better. I'm from a small town too and it's nice to visit and all, but it's depressing coming back and hanging out with people who never left and having to deal with driving 20 minutes just to get to the bar.

It is truly a great city in a lot of ways (people, sights, nice summers, real estate's cheap, you buy beer basically in any store, no crime etc)
but in other ways not so much (little job opportunity, winters are fucking terrible, fall and spring are 2 long storms of rain and hail, you cant understand half the baytowners coming into the city)
I personally haven't noticed any hostility and I've been here a month (from farmland ontario)
>do you keep in touch with people from back home or is it like moving to another country almost?
due to a plane ticket off the island being ~ 400 bucks and taking 7 - 8 hours to get to nova scotia alone by driving and ferry, its pretty physically isolated.

Hey fellow seagull

Well, if that's what you like I guess.
If you want to drop some high cash for that kind of coat, I'd go with Nobis.
Rudsak is also a good company imo.

If you want something more classic, look for an overcoat. You can find one just about anywhere, so it's easy to get something on any budget. Camel overcoats are also pretty classic.

Shearling coats are nice if you don't want something long. There are a bunch of fur retailers around areas like Queen & Spadina, and the Russian/Jewish areas around Finch & Bathurst.

If you have no idea where to start, tbqh go to a mall or Bay (preferably the non-shit, renovated ones). Nordstrom is opening up soon too, so you can look there.

Toronto really doesn't get that cold imo. I have a CG coat for winter trips up north or to QC, but around GTA I just wear shearling or an oversize wool coat.

Sorry I can't give you specific stores. I go through a lot of places before I ever find what I like, so I don't have any go-to's

You can also find shearling coats in thrift stores and kijiji. Too bad Danier is dead because you could pick up some nice shit on their sales. A lot of the individual fur and leather store really rip you a new asshole with how they price their shearlings.

Not really, man. I don't recall it going below -20 in recent history.
Here are some stats for you:
https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Canada/Ontario/Places/toronto-temperatures-by-month-average.php
Interpretation: the coldest month is Jan. The average temp for Jan is a high of -1 to low of -7

More short-term:
http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/toronto/m5j/january-weather/55488

The coldest day of the coldest month this year was on Jan 4, with a low of -14.

I know people in Toronto like to bitch about how we have winter and stuff, but c'mon. Yeah, there is an occasional cold snap, but they are very rare. Toronto just doesn't even get as cold as places as Ottawa and Montreal on average.

I'm not saying "don't buy CG even if you really want to". It's just realistically not necessary. Sorry if my view of the nice climate we have in Toronto upsets you.

He probably thinks windchill = actual temperature and is remembering those couple of times it hit -40 with it.

Unless I'm walking the dog, I have never needed to wear a down parka in Toronto.

>>11700316
Yeah, I figured as much. Unless I decide to go /out/ in cold weather, I don't pay much attention to windchill. Wind speed, maybe.

Pics of doge?

>>11697049
uhhh yeah what size? I'm a women's 10ish

>>11692058
apparently the ramen places yelling at u is a japan thing it's ok but fuck all the non white fags and ocad and the shoe museum and expensive houses and hipsters and gays and the blms protestors and eaton centre and dundas square and everyone who love drake

>>11701113
Man the fuck up or go back to the prairies.

I survived rural New Brunswick winters, which are way worse than Toronto could ever throw at you, in a synthetic parka.

>>11697521
Looks cozy

>>11701134
yeah but toronto is shit + a shit winter
i just want to die here

would rather live out west at least i like the people

>>11688075
also from vancouver,
most of what's said is pretty spot on. For our area, we have some pretty good shops I'd say. And for lululemon, get a pair of their shorts for the summer time.

I'll talk about Oakville because I'm not one of those 905 retards that act like they belong in Toronto

Pros
>None

Cons
>basic bitch white people whose lives revolve around house parties, Instagram and Snapchat
>"downtown Oakville" is pathetic and all of the amenities either cater to baby boomer fuckers or basic high school white girls
>new money Arab subhumans are plaguing this town and they all gave their retarded kids expensive BMW and Porsche vehicles so they can street race every night
>brown people who worship Drake and act like they live in Toronto
>fat ugly losers on the busses who look like they fap to hentai
>bars literally do not exist
>no menswear boutiques and Oakville Place is a joke

BONUS Canada-wide con:
>retards like >>11703149 who bump threads on dead boards that everyone browses using the catalog anyway

>>11692058
all of those are a good thing though

>>11697079
>>11697087
stomping grounds in the glebe, new store, pretty nice

>>11700895
Nice friend you have there.

Do you grow anything besides a single pepper?

A friend of mine is a backyard gardener, and she's been complaining about the daily watering thx to the summer.
I just have a problem with sweating balls every day and not saving transit money, since I can't cycle in the heat.

>>11696234
You guys have FEQ every year though, RCHP and Ramnstein literally performed there in July.

>>11697445
Yeah, pretty comfy

What are some fun things to do in edmonton? Jump off the high level bridge?

>>11704750
Drive to the Rockies.

Cons

>white people
>home of the degenerate

>>11686252

Any Ryerson University people in here?

Live in Toronto

Pros:
>Really bikable if you live downtown
>Good, young arts scene
>Politically active youth
>Big airport makes it easy to leave and travel to pretty much anywhere
>Major artists exhibit and have concerts here and not in another Canadian cities
>Attractive people move here
>English flagships for chain-stores and really great consignment shops

Cons:
>Everyone tries so fucking hard
>People consume the same things without thinking critically about them (OVO, Gosha, ASSC, e.g.)
>Not as expensive as Vancouver but also not as cheap as Mtl
>Gentrification is pushing poor people and what they bring to the city out. I really don't want Chinatown to move to etobicoke and get replaced with waste youth from Milton who pay $1600 for rent when they're earning $2400 a month doing like PR or something after they finished studying at Wilfrid Laurier or Brock

Fuck that, the sign is great. Iconic even. That's what most people were up in arms about. Same thing with when they tore down Sam's, though it actually was a great music shop.

>>11688075
yo bro volunteer and help alleviate the problem with me it actually pretty fun

>>11706746
From Lindsay, Peterborough's little brother. Everything you listed is the same as here.

Chinese here fuckin up your shit

vancouver rules real talk but fuck compass fuck translink in gen.

>>11704725
Yeah but the line up has been getting worse and worse while the ticket price is skyrocketing. This city is obsessed with washed up bands. RHCP gave a terrible performance (Kiedis had technical problems/cant sing for shit) and Rammstein already performed like 4 years ago.

>>11706797
>waste youth
white boy detected

>>11706797
Consignment stores are ok to terrible not a pro, politically active youth while good theyre all parroting each other and witch hunting and ostracizing whoever they don't like which is uncool

Biking is a fair point
Art exhibitions in toronto are pretty lame but at least people tour toronto for music

Gentrification is a part of cities dude trying to stop it actually seems kinda fucked up from a market perspective,

Kids from milton are fags and should all die i agree

>>11706760
Yeah man, hi

I never realized how interesting Toronto can be until recently. I've been a lonely loser for my entire time in uni, and the city seemed to boring to me.

I recently reconnected with a high school friend, and he works with/is now becoming an underground music (techno mostly) event organizer, and he's been telling me all this cool shit about places like Soy Bomb, and taking me to shows.
It's making me look at the city a little differently now that I've dipped my toe into a scene I never knew existed.

He and his business partner are putting on a techno show during Nuit Blanche - they're not part of the festival though - and it looks hype. Nuit Blanche is such shit now, so I hope it goes well for them.

Is this what having friends is like, guys?

PS: I don't wanna shill, but he's my friend, so if anyone wants to know about the show they're doing I'm happy to give info.

I wouldn't know

>>11704750

Lots of live music and stuff. There's a bunch of different venues.

If you like walks/hiking then the river valley is awesome. I spent a couple hours one early morning, watched the sunrise and walked 13km around the river.

>>11707215
Fuck dude how much you sellin em for?

>>11707611

Where all my Calgaryfags at?
