This is where we disagree. You seem to be basing your criteria for the most liveable cities as being the most wealthy, or the most opportunity to accumulate the most wealth. You also mention cities with the most power and influence. The facts you list do indeed support your theory that cities...

This is the last post I will waste in this pissing contest. Read carefully. You are the one who started comparing USA vs. CANADA demographics, middle class and nice urban areas vs. CANADA, CANADIANS immigrating to USA. Apart from the brief mention of Calgary being predominitely white, you...

Ugh, look at the name making the posts... I was not the one comparing Calgary to the entire USA. Try to keep up here...skippy.

We are comparing cities to cities not cities to countries or cities to counties. Please try to keep up with the thread topic, you are losing focus.

Spoken truly as someone who has likely never traveled outside of his own backyard. Some of the places you bash in this post are some of the most beautiful, exciting places on the Earth. But of course, you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how biased it may be.

A lot of unsubstantiated lies and opinions in this post by an ignorant American. I challenge you to produce one shred of evidence or fact to substantiate your claims of: 1. Canadians are closet racists. 2. Repression of free speech. 3. Newfound prosperity is almost totally due to a...

So you're saying the USA is handicapped and uncomparable to Canada because you have poor blacks and latinos? Please.

Great, so we've established that sometimes people are right, and sometimes people are wrong. Timing is everything. Surely you understand the differences between the US subprime-driven property market, and the situation with Canadian real estate at the moment, right? Because there are many...

Search for the numerous threads regarding a Canadian real estate bubble, and you will realize you are once again incorrect. Perhaps you could busy yourself with trolling someone else in another thread? Your lack of meaningful contribution has shown repeatedly. Thank you kindly.

I am fully aware of the inherent lack of relative objectivity, and yes, when prices divert too far from mean they return. But returning to mean and crashing are two entirely different concepts. Could we see real estate prices flatten, or even slightly decline in the near future? Sure...

Agreed. Infrastructure is the #1 issue for India if it truly is to become an economic superpower. Efficient movement of goods is essential. Without it, the economy capacity will surely be strained.

Everytime crude spikes we get threads like this. Someone always comes up with an outrageous price target in order to get their name mentioned in the media. The only way oil will hit $220 is if Iran sees the same type of revolution.

With all due respect, people on here and elsewhere have been calling the Canadian property market a bubble for years now. They claim it is about to pop at any moment. Well, I'm still waiting.... But of course, once the broken clock syndrome kicks in, these people will claim victory.

:confused:

Skiing, pond hockey, snowball fights, days off from work/school because of too much snow - come on that's all good stuff!

That's true for some people, and not true for others. It also depends on what province/state you live in. It's much more difficult to compare personal income tax rates due to all of the various deductions available in both countries, as well as taking into account services offered. For...

:D Not sure if you are being serious or not, but I found humour in your post.

You are correct, these lists are meaningless. It simply provides for interesting discussion on a slow Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you for the correction.

How about you do me a favor. Stay out of threads that you don't have anything interesting or relevant to post about, and let us rational, reasonable people have civil discussion. You hold up to your end of the bargain, and I promise I will never move to Florida.
