I fully agree and welcome your opinion about being able to respond and feel any which way you'd like about someone elses posts. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I welcome those that I may not have explored yet.
Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to meet your friends and the families that you know who are awesome people. I have found a few people who where friendly, and have had no issues with many of the people I have come into contact with - but I am also human and realize that one of my faults is remembering the things/people who rubbed me that wrong vs first remembering the ones who didn't. I am sorry for this fault in myself.
The reason why I know this particular fellow tenant in our townhouse complex does not "enjoy" our quiet company in the complex is that she was also giving the stink eye to my husband when he first moved here in June, and I have also seen her do the same thing to another family that also moved into the complex with Ontario plates. Maybe I'm just noticing it more b/c we know no one here and only came to work and do not plan on staying long. Like I said before, we choose not to get involved with our neighbours more then the occasional Hello, only bc we're not interested in any gossip and b.s. that comes with living in such close proximity with your neighbours.
I was actually floored when I was told by my husband that come of the native born Edmontonians believe that all Ontarians are from Toronto and EVERYONE from Toronto think too highly of themselves, are pushy, inconsiderate, and are not truely "Canadian". My husband just shrugged his shoulders and kept working, though he did notice when a few of his fellow co-workers stopped talking to him and also started giving him the "stink eye". Maybe he's just a better human being then myself and can let things roll of his shoulders a lot quicker then myself - I need to rant and express my opinion in the moment in the moment, either to my husband or anonymously online, then am over my issue once it is written down.
My husband and I are of the same opinion that we will not be staying in this town, but instead moving to one smaller (100,000 or less inhabitants) town as that is what we are use to and greatly prefer over a large city....even Windsor was a little too big for us. We're so use to being able to keep our car/house/garage unlocked when we're home, without fear of being robbed, that coming to Edmonton with the huge police signs in our neighbourhood telling the inhabitants to lock our cars/garage at all times b/c of the high theft rate really does not sit well with us. Hence why we won't be staying once my husbands contract is done.
I truely hope your son thoroughly enjoys his stay here as I am assuming there are a lot of fantastic people waiting for him. I also greatly apologize that I have made you so angry, and if I have made anyone else angry. That was not my original intent and realize after rereading my op, that I come off as exceptionally rude and mean. I am truely sorry for this.
