I despise Trudeau (both of them actually) but honestly you're blaming the wrong guy on this one. Big city rents started surging in the early mid 80's under Mulroney when he opened up the business visa immigration programs that basically threw open the doors for anybody with two 5 dollar bills to...

Actually, it goes back even farther than that. A lot of letters stopped going when fax machines came in. Then email replaced the fax machines too. Most correspondence that didn't require original signatures dropped significantly, way before the smart phone came in. The smartphone just made it...

I don't think Trump is an orgy guy. He likes to keep his shame private. Well, tries to anyway. Clinton might have been an orgy guy, but he wouldn't have been ballsy enough to demolish the entire east wing of the White House to build a fucking ballroom. lol

They've decided to do a revival of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, with Trump playing Frank N Furter, and they need a big enough space to practice

other possible explanation: Trump wants to do more dancing. (Oh.My.God. - The horror. What of there's more youtube videos of him dancing? Is the healthcare system set up for a sudden exponential growth in the national suicide rate? )

I'm curious to see how creative you can all be. Multiple interpretations allowed. I'll start with an easy and obvious one. It's not a ballroom, Trump is refitting the Armageddon bunker with gold fittings everywhere, plus he wanted a bat-pole. The ballroom is just a smokescreen.

Well, yes, but you have to climb a volcano to do it. Not worth the effort. :)

Panama would be a good choice. Lots of infrastructure projects and they are always looking for technical expertise. English pretty widely spoken and US dollars the default currency. Very good levels of medical and dental care (albeit a bit pricey) and direct flights to Canada for when you want...

There's a lot, from a variety of genres. It's also subjective. To make it easy we could just say prominent or popular and that would make it much easier. Rush, Joni Mitchell, Shania Twain, Bieber, Drake, The weeknd, Hank Snow, Oscar Peterson, Neil Young and Celine Dion are all music...

Ha! That depends on what you consider to be a third world country. It's an outdated term by most standards, but it hasn't really been replaced by anything generally accepted and precise. Most people would say that anything that isn't NA or Europe is 3rd world, but not really so. Most would...

I think the OP needs to ask himself why he is really considering moving to Montreal..If he loves the city and lifestyle that's one thing, and even leaving aside the cultural challenges already mentioned here it could be an option worth exploring, especially if the work is something that is...

Ok, this one's kind of savage: Two things that will never get old: 1) Charlie Kirk jokes 2) Charlie Kirk too soon?

I know they are. I have made a few close friends in a variety of places and we often partake together whenever we're able to. Montreal kind of sucks for that though, so not really here. My niece worked as an SP and I certainly hope some of my cousins are seeing somebody because, well, it's...
