Lost city of Atlantis, or perhaps the land that time forgot?
- Discuss.

Hahaha, I had a feeling this would pop up.
- Jaline0
Explain.
- czawada0
Jaline, you say there is so much to do there and that we have no clue.
So please, enlighten us on all the great things to do in your lovely city.
- Jaline0
I never said there is "so much to do" here. I said that you can always find something to do here. Just like in any other city.

What I meant was, Is Ottawa a hidden utopia of joy, or a rotting dystopia of hate and ice skating (I hate ice skating).
- Jaline0
haha, a lot of people like ice skating...

OK, but did you ever think that the things you can do there maybe don't appeal to others, therefore they think the city sucks.
For me, there isn't much culture there, the 'mountains' in the area aren't worth moving for. The city is small, it kind of falls into this noman's land between two of Canada's best cities for culture, careers and entertainment.
I will say it's close(ish) proximity to Montreal is cool, but personally I would just move to Montreal if I lived in Ottawa.
Basically, different strokes for different folks... personally, I could care less if you said Vancouver sucked, and on some points I'd probably agree with you.

Well I'm off to the Island. You two play nice now :D

With my new passport I will eventually make the short trip to Ottawa to watch the Mighty Penguins whoop on the Shitty Senators.
Until then my judgment is reserved.
And by Shitty Senators, I mean I really like them actually, haha. Just not when they are playing the Penguins (like say in the Playoffs).

I'm not going to say Vancouver sucks because I have never been there.
Of course people will dislike Ottawa. Instead of saying "it sucks" all the time, just come up with some things you don't like about it so I can understand where you are coming from.
Yes, there is not much culture here compared to Montreal or Toronto, for example. I know a lot of students who come here because their parents want their kids to actually concentrate on studying and not just on friends (for one example). All of the major museums are here though, and some people like the city for that reason (I don't really care). I don't like certain parts of Montreal because of the driving. Toronto is great, but the driving sucks there too. I think I would avoid the busses in those cities compared to Ottawa, which is a lot safer (particularly to raise a family in).
So it depends on a lot of things.
- My personal opinion is that Ottawa sux. Why does that bother you, and don't say it doesn't cuz you've proved it does.czawada
- does.czawada
- It only bothers me because ppl who don't live here always say, "it sucks" without giving me a reason. Whatever, let'sJaline
- just stop going on about it.Jaline
- ...or I will try to, anyway.Jaline
- I posted my reasons above, I hope they are valid in your eyes.czawada
- Yeah, I saw your reasons. I guess we will agree to disagree. There is culture, just not as much as Mont. or Tor.Jaline
- Wow, don't you realize that opinions are subjective? I personally feel this way, you don't... end of discussion.czawada
- The size of a city or the amount of culture is not that subjective.
Anyway...Jaline - You do enjoy beating that dead horse don't yo?czawada

I'm out, have a lovely weekend in the city you hold dear to your heart Jaline.
- Jaline0
Thanks, I will be going out to enjoy the vast entertainment venues we have here ;)

I guess I don't know where this came from, or why it took this weird turn but doesn't it make sense to like the city where you're from?
Unless you're from Cleveland or Philadelphia of course.
- Except those actors who claim their city sucks b/c it's "too small".
haha @ Philly.Jaline - lol @ Philly.
You guys have Crosby...Jaline - and more importantly, you have you!Jaline
- Yea, I never got people who do that, haha. No pride! If they were born in olden times they'd be killed.flavorful
- That we do. :Dflavorful
