1. On two wheels, getting lost in the hills/mini mountains is the best feeling.
2. Friendly people everywhere, all act like they know you.
3. Rifle practice anytime I want!
Kentucky Fried Nope
1. Weather. Thanks Ohio Valley, changes by the minute!
2. No one minds their own business, ever.
3. Accents, I'm a New Yorker and I cant understand a good lot of you.
4. I hate horses, stop asking me to see yours or ride it. I.Dont.Like.Them.
- Spiders shouldn't be this huge but they are. So yeah...Spiders....
- Everything looks broken down. Why does it look like I live in detroit
- I Live near Chicago. Can't go 5mins without seeing someone homeless. Sad but annoying
Also, there is nothing wrong with gay marriage as long as the couple is happy.
Loves-
It snows a lot. Yay!
I see a lot of nature, but that's just my area.
If I want cheese, all I have to do is drive over to a local farm and ask "Can I have some home-made cheese?" I pay them five bucks, I get cheese.
Friendly folks all 'round.
Hates-
Despite that everyone around me lives here, they despise the snow.
On some occasions, there is too much cheese around.
When the wind blows just right, and you get to smell the lovely scent of manure. Even after living here since I was three, it never smells remotely pleasant. Heck, I'd rather smell rotten fruit.
No one understand my accent. According to others, I have mixtures of California, Britain (main one), Australian, and some strange form of french... no clue how I got it, hate it when people ask me "Are you from England?"

1. Tons of mountains and beautiful sights. A YouTuber from Toronto once mentioned that Vancouver was a huge change from the flat landscape of Ontario.
2. Near the ocean, so temperatures rarely ever get extreme. I don't think it's ever been below -5 C, or above 33 C.
3. Near the border, so we have easy access to American shopping
4. This applies to Canada as a whole, but very multi-cultural. You'll see people, places and things from all over the world.
5. People are generally friendly, aside from the odd racist hobo in the poorer parts of town
6. Downtown Vancouver is huge, beautiful and has Stanley Park next to it
Dislikes
1. Sports teams aren't very good. Our hockey team (Vancouver Canucks) sucks monkey balls, and has 0 Stanley Cups in its' 43-year existence. 2nd oldest team to not have a championship, next to the 46-year-old St. Louis Blues. The Whitecaps have existed for a few years, but got knocked out early last year and didn't qualify this season. And no one gives two damns about the BC Lions, or the CFL.
2. Lots of potheads. Not bringing down marijuana to those who smoke, but the ones around here seem to LOVE showing off their habit, shoving it down your throat and revolving their life around weed.
3. Wacky ass weather. A typical week in September has heavy rainfall on one day, sunny the next, a thunderstorm, and then sunny again.
4. Living in the big cities is incredibly expensive. High land value, especially in Downtown Vancouver.
The disadvantages don't bother me too much, though. I love living here

I hate Virginia (in the US) because there is absolutely nothing unique here, and nothing to do at all where I live. It's just so damn boring. It does have okay colleges and schools, though, and the weather isn't terrible.
Nothing I have against the whole state, but I live in the middle of fricking nowhere so it's boring.
Not going to post anything positive because then people would think I'm not a total pessimist.

Seattle is almost the same. Geographically, they're in the same region (next to the Salish Sea and Cascade Mountains) so it makes sense. Replace hockey with [American] football (although we're doing well this season). And replace 'American shopping' with, "close enough to Whistler" and "19-20 year old drinking/clubbing in Vancouver".
Extra cons to Seattle:
~ Liberal mecca (could be a pro, but trust me it's not).
~ Rains too much between October and April.
~ Tax on everything. Paper bags are taxed here... We have one of the highest property and sales tax in the nation. We don't have a state income tax, though.
~ Weed
~ Traffic sucks
Pros:
~ Liberal mecca (people generally are at tolerant to other people and nice -- unless you're right-wing).
~ Multicultural (well, mainly Korean and White...)
~ Weed
~ Gay Marriage
~ Gorgeous summers
~ Close to a lot of outdoor activities (when it isn't drizzling/raining).
Nothing I have against the whole state, but I live in the middle of fricking nowhere so it's boring.

Not trying to be stalker, but whats your state?

Mackinac Island fudge
Cons:
Detroit and Flint
cold air from Canada + heat stored in great lakes = unpredictable weather

"Why isn’t my life like a situation comedy? Why don’t I have a bunch of friends with nothing better to do but drop by and instigate wacky adventures? Why aren’t my conversations peppered with spontaneous witticisms? Why don’t my friends demonstrate heartfelt concern for my well-being when I have problems?… I gotta get my life some writers." ~Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes

Pretty boring around here
Whole state consists of old white people
Snowbird people that live here during the winter
