I remember when this site used to have deals
Well you already know what I think PHD stands for but I don’t think this article means Barrie is the dumbest city it just means that they have less people with Phd’s per capita, which means really nothing because I could get a phd in Barrie and move somewhere else. Maybe it just means that more people get their Phd’s in Kingston and just never leave lmao.
Andrew, I remember this site always having deals AND personal insight.
Andrew, I just post an offtopic article every now and then but the website is still mainly focused on deals.
Sally, I know what you think it stands for and I also know that you’re not a fan 😉
Hmmm…Kingston is also the home to the largest population of criminals in Canada. Need I say more?
Smart Criminals Bob 😀
Mail order PHD’s!!!!
heheheeh j/k
Is this the caption challenge photo?
(I’m not from Kingston)
I think it’s only fair to say Barrie is tied lol with Oshawa and I’m probably only saying that because I live in Barrie lol otherwise I wouldn’t give a rats a$$ haha
Barrie has “street smarts” and Kingston has “book smarts.”
And a street smarts more than a book smarts, if you get hit by it.
I’m from Vancouver, but I study at Queen’s. I think its probably just because Kingston has a lower population with a prestigious university compared to larger metro cities with universities where the number of phDs are more diluted. It would probably be more fair to look at the total number of phDs in each city to compare, rather than the per capita because then in a city with only 10 residents where 8 of them hold phDs, 80% of the people hold phDs, but in a city with 20 people with 8 phDs, thats only 40%. The second city is not necessarily smarter than the first city.
Oh Please WAKE
Your Just Jealous Of How Smart Oshawa Folks Are.
Hmm…. I Think Every City Has Both And The Bigger The Ciy The More It Shows. But Also (Correct Me If Im Wrong) But Doesnt Kingston Have A Uni. – Barrie Doesnt. (Maybe They Should Look At That As Well). Many Ppl Who Live In Barrie Move Away To Attend College Or Uni. (Do They Count For This. I.E. I Moved To Oshawa For College (Once My 4 Years Are Done Im Moving Back Home – So Which Stats Do I Go Under.)
Puh-leez. First it’s from Ottawa, so how trustworthy is that source and second it’s from The Sun, a newspaper that prints pictures of women in bikinis (not that I’m complaining) to attract readership.
I thought this was a little biased when i saw this. I would rather believe it if it came from the Globe and Mail….
You can live in the so-called smartest city in Canada. I’ll continue to live in Waterloo, home of U Waterloo, RIM and Perimeter Institute, among others. But you should know that when Stephen Hawking comes to Canada in June he’ll be visiting Waterloo — not Kingston 😉
Waterwoo?
OMG Stephen Hawking’s coming to Canada????
I’m moving to Waterloo!!!!
woo, go oshawa.
Don Cherry was born there….enough said!!
I don’t think the number of PhD’s per capita is a good measure of how smart the population is. In fact I don’t think that having a PhD is a good measure of how smart a person is. The dumbest person I ever met in my whole life had a PhD.
Compmouse, I totally agree… the article is ridiculous imho… I just like it cuz it lists the city I live in as the smartest lol
Huh? I don’t gets it! Me lives in Barrie and I is one of the smarterer people I knows
oops sorry … that should say smarterest
Sooboy, you spelled Barie rong. Yer makin’ us look bad.
Sally,
The criminals in Kingston aren’t that smart – they got caught. But they’re probably working on their PHD’s while doing time…
Oh really, I am glad too see all the burnouts are in Barrie…meanwhile I thought they were in the great city of Welland..lolllllllll
stupid canadian..
Proud to be from Saskabush (“We’re Number Five!”), with an IQ higher than the average “Pile it Higher and Deeper” graduate!
i live in the #2 city 🙂
I am a Kingstonian and I love this city…..wish downtown was cleaner though
^ I am not the same Kelly that woo’d Oshawa, not that I dislike Oshawa.
