Now screw off back to your horrible shanty hometownsNEW.BRUNSWICK (CBC) - Moncton, N.B., is the most polite city, according to a courtesy test of Canada's 15 largest cities conducted by Reader's Digest.

The magazine sent two undercover reporters across the country to carry out an informal survey that marked each city on whether people held the doors open for its journalists, whether salesclerks thanked them for purchases and whether people would pick up a dropped folder in busy locations.
Moncton earned 80 per cent with Calgary and Vancouver tying for second place with 77 per cent. Edmonton ranked third with 73 per cent.
"The Maritime cities generally did very well," said Cynthia Ann Shannon, who works with Reader's Digest in Montreal, which ranked fifth with 68 per cent.
Victoria, Charlottetown and St. John's, N.L., ranked fourth with 70 per cent. Halifax and Winnipeg came in sixth place with 67 per cent. Regina and Quebec City ranked seventh and eighth with 63 per cent and 62 per cent, respectively.
Toronto came in ninth with 60 per cent. Saskatoon and Ottawa scored the worst with 57 per cent and 50 per cent, respectively.

I saw that on the news.
Sounds like your typical Canadian place. That's why I choose to live north of Southwestern Ontario- in the REAL Canada.

The only problem with living in the Maritimes is....well...you'd be living in the Maritimes.

I think someone should call BAS and quietly and politely tell them that they should maybe give some consideration to dumping the picture of a Jetsgo MD 80 from their web site. Just a thought anyway.
The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

I think we we should all pitch in and get Hazatude a pilots license. He's definitely one of the gods of the forum, he needs to be a pilot too.
