No kidding, I just took a look around on the maps and I found some absolutely gorgeous looking waterfalls, many being literal blocks from where I would be working. I will for sure have to check those out. The nature trails look pretty amazing too.
Unfortunately I'm going to be in the boat of renting a room and needing to live on the cheap! So I might not get a choice for where I live. I think at best I want to be within range of the bus routes, but I do have a reliable car so it is not the end of the world if I don't. Any locations you'd recommend to absolutely avoid? I've been exploring the city a lot through google maps, and I'll be honest it looks really safe and nice.
Hamilton would be my first time living in a city above 200k population, so it is a little scary but I'm more excited than scared. I'm not entirely sure what to expect living in such a larger city, or if it'll be a lot more mundane than I'd expect. As far as things to do, I'm a bit overwhelmed by choice. It feels like there is a lifetime of recreational stuff to be had here.
Ça sonne bien! J'adore les Vulgaire Machins. J'ajouterai Om mani padme hum à ma playlist qui mentionnent Montréal ou qui y font référence. Il y en a beaucoup.
Windsor is truly a city of time lol
Content being here for now but I am already trying to leave for literally any opportunity in Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal. I was born in Windsor, and my short opinion on it is that it has certainly earned its reputation.
This is great! Thanks for this, I'm still relatively new to Canadian music and how to navigate the music scene in Canada. I'll make a link for this on the sidebar.
This might be a bit of a more sobering post here, but I felt that this was a important piece of Canadian history that was worthwhile to share. I work in the Canadian Cultural Heritage sector, so sharing stuff like this is technically my day job.
And no, you may not discuss gun control laws in MapleMusic. You may form your opinions, but I ask you find a more appropriate community to share them in on lemmy.
Yeah I did see some homeless folk and presumably drug addicted folk, but compared to Windsor with its chronic double digit unemployment? An improvement.
Stuff like this just kinda comes with the territory of a bigger city.
According to the article: "Diageo said it will engage with the community and find ways to support its employees through the transition, and work alongside Unifor to assist unionized workers."
I wonder what support they mean -- actual support, or a corporate "damn that sucks for you" support.
Damn. I live in Amherstburg, this is going to suck for the town.
The Needle and the Damage Done is such a wonderful song, I think it is one of his strongest ones hes written -- even when considering Heart of Gold. Helpless is also such a excellent song.
C'est fou ! Je viens de déménager au Canada depuis la Caroline du Nord le mois dernier! J'y ai vécu une dizaine d'années. J'ai vécu à Greensboro. Seulement 13 000 Canadiens vivent en Caroline du Nord --c'est un petit club.
Chez nous à Essex, y'a le parc national de la Pointe-Pelée, la seule forêt carolinienne dans tout le Canada. La plupart des arbres et du feuillage sont identiques à ceux de la Caroline du Nord.
That's crazy! I just moved to Canada from North Carolina just last month. I lived there for 10-ish years. I lived in Greensboro. Only 13k Canadians live in North Carolina, its a small club!
In my home at Essex, there is Point Pelee National Park with the only Carolinian forest in all of Canada. The trees and foliage are the same as those in North Carolina.
J'aime vraiment ça ! J'écoutais les groupes Kansas et Boston souvent -- ça sonne plus similaire ! C'est de la musique familière mais différente.
Pourquoi Saguenay? 2 000 kilomètres c'est fou ! D'où viens-tu ?
I really like this! I often listen to the bands Kansas and Boston too -- they sound very similar! It's very familiar yet different.
Why Saguenay? 2,000 kilometres is crazy. Where are you coming from?
