My fellow early morning Canadian.
How's it going out in Ontario?

[CapitalJay]

I grew up 20 minutes from the border and spent so much time in Canada between the ages of 19-21 that I felt like a citizen. :) Great country!

For those not in the know, drinking age here is 18!

Where did you spend your time?

[MacGyverDel]

Whooo Hoooooo!

How's it going out in Ontario?

-4C right now but it will get to +5 and sunny here in the Capital. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/macgyverdel/coffeetime.gif

19 here in Ontario but across the river in Quebec it's 18 and as teens many have spent time over in Hull/Gatineau and Aylmer. :p

[CapitalJay]

LMAO!

For those not in the know, drinking age here is 18!

Where did you spend your time?

Windsor, of course! First, we'd head to this place called "Mother's Pizza" for pizza & beer. Then, we'd hit some dance club (name escapes me now) or the, ummmm, "Canadian Ballet" as we called it, depending on the night. :D

Hey, if Brian, who is still a puppy at just 34, can post in the Over 35 section, why can't Americans post in the Canadian thread? :p

Don't worry Hockeychick. GW will make Americans out them yet. Maybe sooner than everyone thinks!

I like to think of us all as North Americans. ;)

You bunch of rebels, creating you're own thread. I am SO jealous of all 5 of you having you're own country thread.

Does that mean you're just going to post in here and not post in the other "American" threads? As any thread that isn't the official Candian or Aussie thread must be American since bb.com is an American company.


Seriously, don't you think this will create a little animonsity in the over 35 forum?

Yeah, I got that. But how does that relate to Tiffany (who lives in Georgia, as far as I know) having her heart broken by a Canadain?

Clearly, I need more chcocolate! :p

[MacGyverDel]

Thanks for clarifying Del.

No I haven't but my brother and sister have lived out west as well as my first wife and our kids for varying amounts of time but all are back in Ontario. ;)

Hi fiend, what have I started lol. I logged on this morning to find 2 other threads, the Canadian and Florida thread, plus Quality Guys self appreciation thread ;)

Hope the thread works for you. I just thought it would be nice to have a place to chat with people who are in my region and might have similar local type interests as well as bodybuilding interests.

Your thread has lots more pics anyway ;)

The air is crisp here in the Capital this morn. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/macgyverdel/coffeetime.gif
I'm pretty sure many here have been slowing adjusting their internal clocks to hibernation mode as the winter approaches. ;) Less daylight seaMs to be a contributing factor I think. :D

[QUALITYGUY1]

Good morning Canadian neighbors! The air has a nip in it here as well and plenty o' frost to go around.
Being SO close to the border here, Canada is like a second home. Problem is, with the favorable dollar situation, the Canadians are cleaning out all the stores over here...literally! There was a report on the news yesterday that the stores at the Galleria Mall are either out, or running out of just about everything, so much so, that they actually reported that we might not have anything left to buy for OUR Christmas LOL! Traffic is backed up on local roads and the interstate as well, with people flocking in. I saw an accident the other day on the bridge...a guy from Toronto and a guy from Buffalo, they started arguing about it and a Hockey game broke out! It's getting pretty bad here, but we love our Canadian neighbors, & your money as well, so keep on spending!
Have a great weekend all!

What do you/did you do for work Del?

What do you/did you do for work Del?

Started out working for a large Door company here in Ottawa. We did everything that had anything to do with doors and/or glass. I eventually went out on my own and did well there taking on a more diversified roll with contract installations of just about anything on new construction. Had a small crew of 2-6 at different times and made some good money subcontracting for a handful of companies. Also did much welding on site and in my shop for special fabrications. Taking a break from it with some goal changes my wife and I decided on. Thinking about a small metal fabricating operation next summer. IDK. Not sure yet. Right now my funds are tied up and we survive ok on the wife's income. A couple different internet things also help out some.
I get out in the field occasionally to help out a buddy who has a door company of his own. May get into something new in a partnership with him that promises short days and good money. In no rush right now though. ;)

A sales person at one of the companies I did work for tagged me with the nickname MacGyverDel since I was able to resolve any issues that might arise in a situation on site. :)

Do Canadians living abroad count???????????????? Originally from the GTA, but been in the Caribbean the last three years..............

Certainly do miss that morning nip in the air. Believe it or not, you can actually get sick of it being so freakin' hot all the time.

Look forward to getting to know you all better.......

Schulzy
Of course, especially home sick ones!
Whereabouts are you in the Caribbean?

Any pics to share?



The comp was great! One of the better ones around here. It was The NB Physique and Figure Association that hosted.
What are tickets running for a show over there?
We're getting dinged between $50-100, depends if its the Northerns, Provincials, or the Nationals last year. Crazy expensive!

You'll catch the Oiler fever when you're here the end of this month-its impossible to miss in this city.

First work day of this week for some I sea. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/macgyverdel/coffeetime.gif

[ArchAngel'73]

Started out working for a large Door company here in Ottawa. We did everything that had anything to do with doors and/or glass. I eventually went out on my own and did well there taking on a more diversified roll with contract installations of just about anything on new construction. Had a small crew of 2-6 at different times and made some good money subcontracting for a handful of companies. Also did much welding on site and in my shop for special fabrications. Taking a break from it with some goal changes my wife and I decided on. Thinking about a small metal fabricating operation next summer. IDK. Not sure yet. Right now my funds are tied up and we survive ok on the wife's income. A couple different internet things also help out some.
I get out in the field occasionally to help out a buddy who has a door company of his own. May get into something new in a partnership with him that promises short days and good money. In no rush right now though. ;)

A sales person at one of the companies I did work for tagged me with the nickname MacGyverDel since I was able to resolve any issues that might arise in a situation on site. :)
Nice to know some of the history behind the soon to be bb.com legend.;)
Especially your username.:)
My dad did a lot of work with steel frames, doors, locks, and security mechanisms. He started off welding and built his way up.
He used to make me work for him in summer.
And the last time I went to work for him, the last day before I went back to university we had a chat.
We're grimy from he day, covered in dirt, metal shavings, sweat etc.-he looks at me and says "Remember what we just did and how we earned our money today.
Now get your butt back to school, get an education, so you never have to work like this again"
thank goodness I listened.:)

Have a good Tuesday Del.

:p Idk. I made as much as a grand a day and as little as a hundred. But averaged a good amount. I misc it some. Hard to find something where you can make decent money and also enjoy it. I may go back to it in a smaller scale next time. As a part time thing I think. ;)

There is something to be said about building something, and being able to go back 10 or more years later and say "I made that".
I can't do that with my job, 90% of the time I have no idea where or what happens to the teens I work with.
Retirement is looking better everyday, maybe in Florida. :p

[What are tickets running for a show over there?
We're getting dinged between $50-100, depends if its the Northerns, Provincials, or the Nationals last year. Crazy expensive!


Tickets are $25 for the night show and $15 for the morning show. To me this is quite expensive ......since this is just a small organization. Bodybuilding is not a huge sport here in New Brunswick. So at our comps there are no pro cards awarded, no big name guest posers, very little prize money ( $500 for the overall winner and a free website set up). Its also a non tested event so open to the natural bb'ers and the pro hormone users.

$50-$100???? Thats a lot of bucks!

Toronto, the big smoke.......raised there, woot. Anyway big smoke was for it's industrial skyline seen along the lake as ships went by in the early years. Another common nickname is "hogtown"

[blsmith]

Well said baarat, exactly it. There were a huge number of smokestacks along the shores of Lake Ontario. There are but a few left, being replaced by condos!

[chrisbute]

Am I allowed in here?

I grew up in Buffalo (1/2 mile from the Canadian border)
I miss Brewers Retail. Every trip back to Buffalo, we need to buy 2 cases to bring back (Bradores or Molson Canadian)
Tim Horton's Donuts are do much better than Krispy Kreme
You haven't really camped until you batled the blackflies at Algonquin Provincial Park
My 6 year old (gasp) loves the Leafs
New Years Eve's aren't the same if you don't celebrate them in Nathan Phillips Square
My first love lives in Etobicoke
The best radio station is CFNY. Nothing else comes close

I'll understand if I'm not allowed in, but I did grow up with plenty of Canadian influence. I feel part Canadian!

[ArchAngel'73]

Everyone is "allowed" in.:)
I made this thread for all to enjoy, for newer members to find a friendly starting point, have some conversation with Canadians or about Canada, clear up some misconceptions (we don't live in igloos or consistantly say "eh"):D, and perhaps discuss Canadian bodybuilding news.

I think those new to us will find us a friendly bunch of folks.:)

Chrisbute, I've never had a Krisy Kreme donut, don't know what the fascination with them is "aboot"?:D
I imagine it would NOT fot in to my diet right now, so I'll have to wait.
They've begun opening them up in Canada, probably one soon in my city. I'll take it from you that Timmie's is better.

Have a good weekend all.:)

[kingklay]

Hello from Vancouver, BC!!
they just opened a Krispy Kreme 10 blocks from my house. They are nothing to rave "aboot" haha

I'm still mourning the Argo's defeat last week. My Dad used to take me to the Grey Cup parade whenever it was in Toronto. Does anyone remember the year that the Grey Cup game was fogged out?

Hello, Backer! I trained at the Halifax Nubody's 20 years ago when I was in the navy, prepping for my 1st contest. That was when Nubodys was on Quinpool.

I had a wicked workout yesterday!
I leg pressed 1,515 lbs for 10 reps, then 6, then I could barely move! LOL
Hot damn, I'm 500 lbs away from a ton!:D

Hi Kingklay! We're neighbours :) East Van here, the Drive.

Drank my share of coffee there, all right. First mojito? Bukowski's. Biggest gorging? Memphis Blue. Love the drive. Can't find anything like that in Vic...not yet.

[Step Beyond]

Morning everybody. Hope all is well north of the 49th parallel. Love the thread, very cool idea. I am a Canuck transplant living in the Caribbean, and at the risk of sounding condescending, I would kill for a nice cold day and seeing the seasons change. Been south for almost 4 years and you actually get tired of the heat and really miss the changes around you.

Anyway, I digress...........was hoping that some of you in the GTA (which now seems to spread from Ajax to Grimsby) might be able to help me out. I am returning at Xmas for a short visit (will be bouncing between Burlington and Niagara to be more specific) and I need to find a good shop to buy some supplies for a show that I will be competing in in April 08. I am going to need tanning supplies, show briefs, likely some new supplemenst, etc. I am so out of touch with the area, I wouldn't know where to go and I can't get any of this stuff where I currently am. Can anybody recommend a store or shop that has quality stuff and is relaible and knowledgeable?????????

Thx.........Schulzy.

[blsmith]

I think the Musclemag in Mississauga is good. I've heard lots of good things about it. I dont live out that way but from what I hear they have a large variety of stuff. I believe you can find the address online.

[blsmith]

On another note, for anyone in the GTA, I have an extra ticket for the Vanier Cup on Friday, totally free, just will have to pick it up from me at the gate. Let me know if you're interested.

I love that magazine, Robert Kennedy has pushed bodybuilding in Canada for decades.
I've never been to that store, but saw pics and know peeps who have.
Go! and please tell us what you think.:)

I don't know what it is but I feel like I should have stayed home for the hoiday! I am soo tired today! Freezing rain here today, not a pleasent commute to say the least.

Unfortunately, I only saw their Brampton location on their website. I have sent them an e-mail asking about a possible Mississauga location. I'll let you all know how it goes. Thanks for the tip.

I beleive its the same one, it was right at the border between Mississauga and Brampton...but I do know they closed the main downtown store, so they may have closed that one too! :-(

I never thought of border jumping to shop for Black Friday. I think you're right, the stores will be empty.
From the news i sea that all the extra traffic in the stores and the bare shelves are irritating our neighbours a bit.
This i never expected with our dollar rising.

Hey Del, congrats on sea 5! Did you get approached by a mod to start it? Are they taking turns starting them?
And I've moticed a lot of members left, and now have come back to that sea. Do you know why?
and since we're talking about it-any suggestions on posting in there?
How can I enter without seeming like an intruder? There's a bit of a clique in there, but its friendly.:)

Well at this point I have some knowledge on it's history and links to closed veraions I go through sometimes but in the end it's a Safe Thread in the misc. and anyone is welcome. Many members from other areas of the site will post in there but no other misc threads. Everyone is encouraged to chat and have fun. Currently it's newness and the holiday have it moving quicker than normal but it will calm some soon. It has had a rocky summer changing a few times but we hope it will be fine for a while.
Originally when I started there I was posting gif's like crazy and that caused contrversy so now we try to limit that activity to Top Posts Only and we also are trying to keep a PG-13 rating.
Roxie discussed the change with me before hand and again anyone can feel safe to post there. ;)
On the first page we have a few rules suggested as a guideline but a number of mods will help enforce it if need be. It isn't for everyone but obviously I enjoy it there. :)

Hi, I'm from Winnipeg, and damn proud of it!:) Grew up in Elmwood and North Kildonan.
The weather is harsh there. If you can get used to it, you can live any where in the world.
IMHO, Edmontonians don't know what a bad winter looks like. :p


And hello everyone else!

Sweet. I'm in Crestview myself at the moment. Grew up in Ft Rouge. And I know what you mean about the cold thing. Spent a few years living in Australia. It rarely got below -5C in the peak of winter. Man...talk about a shock coming back here. LOL.

[MacGyverDel]

As some may already know, the large snow accumulation is on it's way.
For me it means cadio tomorrow and possibly the next day with shovelling. :eek:
I need to modify the kids bikes. :p

And for many it means snow plows on the roads causing slow downs in traffic.

Hey dude. I used to live 5 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico in Foley Alabama lol It was really a switch from Vancouver! I was there a year then I spent another year just outside of Columbus Georgia on an arabian racehorse ranch. Couldn't wait to get off the ranch, it was nothing but work! Glad you like Canada :)

I workout at the Y Downtown near the Bay. Putting in about 10 hours a week right now, 4-5 days a week when I can.

By April I want to be down to 10% BF or lower, have a respectable set of abs (not necessarily hard-cut, just distinctive) and to be able to clearly see that nice vien down the center of my bi's. Seem to be trading fat ounces with muscle ounces pretty evenly. My weight's barely changed the last two months despite the improvements so I don't have a weight goal right now. Guess that's probably a good thing, eh ;)

Welcome to you too, Old Navy. I didn't realize Canada had so many comps up here. Good to know.

Thanks. Absolutely. Canada is very active in bodybuilding, especial the natural (tested) shows. The World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO-FAME) run by Jeff Kippel and Mindy Blackstien and International Drug Free Athletics (IDFA) run by Shaun Campbell, are leading the way in establishing drug-free completions throughout Canada and the United States. FAME also runs contests throughout the world.

there is, but its for male models and figure/fitness competitors. Too bad, as I wanted to enter a show in my home town so my mom could see me. :(
I have to go to Vancouver for the 1st one, and wanted Wpg for the 2nd.

We were cold here in Nov., then it started to warm up while every one else got snow and cold.
Once again, Edmontonians get by by the skin of theiir teeth!:D :p

I'll be heading out to Wpg sometime in Feb. to see my family. I always look forward to seeing the city again!:)

Is everyone set for Christmas?

No, Shaun Campbell, president of the IDFA has not scheduled any Master Pro classes in his 2008 shows. He wants to really "grow" his Open Pro class before he brings back the IDFA Master Pro group.

WNSO-FAME introduced the Master Pro Division for Men's and Women's Bodybuilding, Figure, Fitness and Men's and Women's Muscle Model in 2007.

Hopefully you have some sort of dental plan and it won't cost you and arm and a leg.
FTR, I'm too scared too see a tooth driller. :rolleyes: LOL

Yes you did and I have been searching since... I am going to have to go and get a place that will do dentures as I am most likely going to be going that route. Just knock me out get my teeth out of there and just get er done lol

Great stuff! Hope to see you at the FAME Champ's in June, I'll be there (volunteering). Are you doing any of the IDFA shows this year?


No, Shaun Campbell, president of the IDFA has not scheduled any Master Pro classes in his 2008 shows. He wants to really "grow" his Open Pro class before he brings back the IDFA Master Pro group.

WNSO-FAME introduced the Master Pro Division for Men's and Women's Bodybuilding, Figure, Fitness and Men's and Women's Muscle Model in 2007. I am entered in the 2008 FAME Grand Master Pro World Championships on June 14, and I will compete in the 2008 FAME North American Grand Master Pro Championships in Miami October 31-November 2. I am the current (2007) FAME North American Grand Master Pro Champion. I am also the 2007 NPC Mr. Alabama Masters Champion (my final amateur show).

Ola muchacho's :) I am doing FAME this year and possibly IDFA..we'll see!

Hope to see you guys there! :D

Hi!
I know of you, but never spoken with you. Your good reputation preceeds you.:)
Is volunteering there a regular thing for you? Perhaps I'll be there competing in '09, be good to meet you.Hi, Fiend!

This is a first for me, I'm also hooking up with Sean and his IDFA for volunteering. If your there in '09 it would be great to meet up, maybe we'll both be competing!!

Did you bump him up already?
Let's hope the future posts aren't neg worthy.
You guys up in Ont got hit hard when all the snow was melting here. Might explain why its colder, Del sent us bad weather. lol



No not yet but I will soon. :)

Yes we got our share of snow so far and still a little more expected.
But it is doing some melting this week. :D

[Old Navy]

I posted the past two days of my training journal for the 2008 FAME World Championships in Toronto on June 14th. I won't be offended if you prefer I don't post my journal on this thread. Please let me know if my journal is useful or not. Thanks, Old Navy

[NotTooLate]

I thought beavers were bigger. :p

Read the Stickies, I have every privilage my older counter parts have here, as long as I follow the rules.
Even you couldn't get me banned from this place! :p

No, Canadian beavers aren't bigger, they're better :D

I wouldn't get you banned anyway 'cause then I wouldn't have anyone to pick on and I would be reducing my flirt list lol

[cactusflower]

I need to start posting in here more often.... my butt is getting kicked in the "regular" cdn thread.... :(

[blsmith]

well it is very nice to see you here CF

[cactusflower]

Thanks dude! :D

[blsmith]

Thanks dude! :D

I know what you mean about getting the ass kicked in the other one... thats why I am here

[cactusflower]

I'm sorry you feel/felt that way. For me it's more because I am trying so hard to get into competition shape and then I see someone who isn't even competing and they look better than me! ARGH!!!! But being your 20s is defintiely differnet than being in your 30s.

My motivating factor though is a have a pic from from an old Oxygen magazine (2006) and in the future of fitness pics there a pic of a woman who is 36 and she looks amazing - like stage ready! It also helps her name is Leanne :D too and she is a cop (which is the dream job I am pursuing). So, I keep on pushing. :)

Some mixed weather here in the Capital this morn after a week of melting. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/macgyverdel/coffeetime.gif

Well I was finding it very difficult when I was the one in the absolute worst shape in the entire thread, working my ass off, and then there would be times that I was basically ignored at times... how is someone supposed to feel?

Snow + freezing drizzle = delays. I had 3 students at the start of my 9am class.

I can see that but at the same time the average age of the thread is early 20s....and most early 20somethings can be inconsiderate. I know none of it was intentional... :)
