don't wanna, I hate cities, burbs, or better yet, rural, is the way to go.

grew up in rural ohio, currently live in the burbs 10 miles from DC, used to live about 250 yards from the DC line, so I have experienced all 3 and for me anyway there are ups and downs to all of them, I personally find burbs to be the best as I enjoy escaping to rural areas and being able to quickly get to the city.

how do you change your accent? how old were you when you moved from ohioto where you currently are?

I was 10, I have been here for 9 years.


And fairly easily, just listen to yourself and make the corrections where needed, if you put yourself to it, you can change easily enough.

My father did it when he moved from Lancashire to London.

Vancouver is a lot better run than Toronto.
i would need examples as proof, Vancouver's downtown core doesnt let you drive cars on roads, theyre for people only, and outside of that, half of the lanes are bike lanes, theres 2 gas stations downtown in a city of over 1 mil people, and i can count the number of parking lots on 2 hands

also, it takes me the same amount of time to get home from Seattle as it does from Vancouver on a busy night, explain how that makes it well run.

I always like to think of Canadians as Mexicans with sweaters, Mixy and Dorito were made for each other? I think so.
