Having been in most parts of Canada, I've seen some nice, and some fairly ugly cities. I was having this discussion about what the ugliest cities in Canada are. I said:

1. Winnipeg-Having lived there, this is a cesspool, especially Main Street, and the cities North End
2. Thunder Bay-Mother of God, industry has killed that cities waterfront
3. Oshawa- The Canadian version of the mistake by the lake.


What are some others?
 
Sudbury gets my vote.
 
Windsor :p ..ok it might not have ramped druggies everywhere but its pretty sad..past by just this week, no holiday lights at all, the escorts need a license from the police to work...the strip clubs can not allow the customers and dancers to touch each other. The MP are under watch always by the police undercover units. Few nice hotels and they are just at the casino which is way out away from the clubs, anything. Now with the auto companies in bad shape, its a sad, no fun place.

You're right S.C. Joe, that place used to be real fun, but its taken a dive. The one thing I really like about Windsor in the Waterfront Trail. They've done a great job there, and it matches Toronto's in my opinion, for walking, cycling, and blading, with great sculpture art on the side, and the view of the Detroit Skyline.

Hamiton, North Bay

Totally disagree with that.

Hamilton's downtown is a dump, but there are lots of really great areas in the city. Hess Village, McMaster, Wesdale, Gage Park, Royal Botanical Gardens, etc.

North Bay has the lake, nature, beach, etc. Not to mention just the scenerie of northern Ontario.
 
every city has its goods and bads.
We can only try and make it the best we can.
I don't mind any city as long as I can get a decent A2M girl.

Joy, i dont know about Thunder Bay.. but you certainly are beautiful ;)
 
Regina, Sudbury, Edmonton.

Thunder Bay is all right. On the water, hills, trees, striking vistas. Same can be said for North Bay. Yes they have shitty parts of town, including the downtown cores, but the settings are amazing.
 
Geez, I forgot about North Battleford, Sask. Got trapped there years ago in March. Plane had to emergency land on my Vancouver-Toronto flight. Was stuck for 3 days. What a shithole.
