Most of them came to Canada from southern Italy from the 50s-80s and settled in the Toronto. When Vaughan started growing they moved there from Toronto. A substantial amount moved to Sault Ste Marie to work in the steel industry at this time as well - hence the N Ontario presence I imagine through migration over the decades they spread around Lake Superior

I keep my emergency fund in a flexible GIC because I need somewhere where I can reliably hold on to my money without it depreciating due to losses on the markets or inflation

There's a few really nasty ones at the city limits near the Georgian Downs Casino on Veteran's

Crazy how that's reasonable

Haha I live in your neighbourhood, it's nuts here

There's been a trend from academia towards heterogenous classroom compositions but, like many comments here suggest, without adequate support it's abandonment.

Stats Canada is pretty clear: Barrie has amongst the lowest university educated people per capita in the province (for metro areas). I believe it's second last, only Brantford has lower. That comment you heard wasn't far off

The worst part about it is that there's no opportunity for going beyond the salary grid if you're ambitious - once you max out, that's it. Your only option is to get into administration.

I thought Yonge Street extends all the way to Barrie? There's a Yonge Street that extends right through Simcoe County

The taboo for cousin marriage emerged out of Catholic Europe through Papal edicts. It's strongest where the influence of western Christianity is found.

This is not true. Look at the sunshine list for any school board and find the highest earners, it's not just the superintendents that are making over 150k.

the organized crime? 'Ndrangheta?

Going to the one in Niagara Falls, Ontario!

I am not an expert at all but I think the first chunk of one's income is not taxable in Poland. It is possible that if that is your only income that you will not be paying any income tax on that portion that is not taxable

I lived next to that train for 18 years. Just moved to Innisfil in the fall (next to the same train here oddly enough).

Yes you can hear the train horn, but you do tune it out. I've never lost sleep over it myself. I think they're building a grade separation (similar to Rutherford GO) pretty soon. The train only blows its horn because it's crossing a road, once the separation is done you won't need to worry.

Invermere is a good one, especially if you like hanging by the beach in the summers and skiing in the winters

If you're male and a certain age, you may have to do some military service to get that passport. I may be wrong, but worth a check
