Canada's shittiest city is Regina.

You dissapoint. I was expecting "Toronto".  :D

I was torn. :unsure:

But I decided to troll saskganesh and Neil, instead of you.

Shittiest City?  Possibly Winnipeg.
Shittiest Town or Burb?  Tie between High Level, Alberta and Chetwynd, BC.
I haven't been to high level in probably 20 years, but it's surely not as bad as Assumption.

And Regina over Winnipeg? I don't think so.

Calgary is easily my favorite among those I've been to.

If you're going to include reserves on your list of shittiest towns though, you'll have a lot of competition.

And absolutely Regina over Winnipeg.  The Riders alone guarantee that.

Yeah actually you guys are right.  I haven't spent any time in Regina since the late eighties other than an occasional drive through but I do recall how horrid it was.

As a Canadian it is my duty to vote and skew your poll. My view of Canada has not changed.
:p

I'd go with North Bay, Dryden or Sudbury for shittiest.

So seriously, how is Windsor compared to Detroit?  Just as shitty or what?

Windsor is just like one of Detroit's suburbs; big, bland and white. :Canuck:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

No way - northern Ontario is pretty.
Sault Ste. Marie is nice. so is Northern Ontario's landscape as a whole. But not the old school resource towns.
