I come from Kingston Ontario Canada, and it's got quite an interesting history:
- First off, it's the home of Canadas first Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. He grew up here, born in Scotland.
- It was the first Capital of both Ontario AND Canada at one point.
- It's also known as the Limestone city given the number of buildings built from the stuff back in the day.
- Kingston has the most PhD-holders per capita of any city in Canada.
- We fucking invented modern Hockey; "Although contested, Kingston lays claim to being the birthplace of ice hockey. This is supported by a journal entry of a British Army officer in Kingston in 1843. He wrote "Began to skate this year, improved quickly and had great fun at hockey on the ice.".[18] Kingston is also home to the oldest continuing hockey rivalry in the world by virtue of a game played in 1886 on the frozen Kingston harbour between Queen's University and the Royal Military College of Canada."
- Bunch of notable athletes, Celebrities, and other people come from my town, look up the wiki if you wanna know who
- We have a lot of old people. No seriously, Kingston is pretty much the Florida of Canada.
- We also have a lot of Correctional Facilities (ie: prisons) here, the most in all of Canada. Fucking 9 of them.
Yea...pretty interesting place given its history. Still a total fucking pain in the ass to find a decent job though.
