According to teleport.org I should move to Canada.  :unsure:

Do it!  Comes to Alberta - we have coal mines!  You'll feel right at home!

Alternately, you could probably swing a UX gig in Vancouver or Toronto... or one of the other, more interesting, places that BB can recommend :hug:

Regina could be interesting. You never know.

I think Tyr and I are very very different people, and what I think is interesting might be different from what he thinks is interesting. -_-

Regina? *spit*

No, let me tell you about a lovely prairie city called Saskatoon...

'Regina - just two letters away from being interesting!'  :P

My list was
1: Vancouever
2: Tokyo
3: Toronto
4: Edinburgh
5: Ottawa

London (UK) was on the top 5 too until I ticked the box that said low crime was important :lol:

Its a cool little site anyway. Would be interesting to see it with more work.

Ok what about Thunder Bay? That sounds like a dungeon in a MMORPG. Home of Dread Orc Pirates.

I'd tell you about the town of Dildo, Newfoundland, but that's probably not even legal in Texas.  :D

How can you write an article about the disadvantages of Canada and not mention winter?  :huh:

I've been through Thunder Bay and there weren't any Orcs in sight, alas - it's more about Tim Horton's and a minor league hockey team.

Some minor hockey league parents can be as belligerent as Orcs ...  ;)

I see that everyone is conveniently avoiding mentioning the real hot bed of software development in Canada.

Altho, Tyr can't go there, as he would die.

My list is coming up as

1. Madison
2. Tallinn
3. Edinburgh
4. Boulder
5. Cluj-Napoca

Other than the fact I'm not moving to Romania any time soon, a pretty reasonable list.  I haven't been in awhile but Madison did seem like a very nice town.

He would still be subjected to all official signs and documents being in the language that shall not be named.
