Petawawa is a town located in eastern portion of Southern Ontario. Situated in the Ottawa Valley, with a population of 14,651 (2006 Census). Petawawa is the most populous municipality in Renfrew County.
The earliest settlement in the Petawawa area was inhabited by the Algonquin First Nation. The name of Petawawa originates from a local Algonquin language word, biidaawewe, meaning "where one hears a noise like this".
In the late 19th century, the area was surveyed and settled by emigres from Scotland, Ireland and Germany. The land was unsuitable for crops, but the heavily forested surroundings were useful for logging. The Canadian military acquired land in the area in 1905, which later became Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. During this period it was used as an internment camp for German POWs during World War II. Later, it became home to the Canadian Airborne Regiment before it was disbanded in 1995. Today, it is one of Canada's largest ground forces bases with members deployed throughout the world on various missions supporting the United Nations in peacekeeping or the War on Terror.
Petawawa was incorporated as a township in 1865. In 1961, the urban area of Petawawa was incorporated as a separate village. On July 1, 1997, the village and township re-amalgamated to form the Town of Petawawa.

a polluted city with a corrupt mayor. there isn't really any good reason to come here, unless you really like steel or smog. the downtown area is full of crazies, and people who go to hillfield are rich snobs.
now that red hill valley is gone, why would anyone ever want to live in hamilton, ontario?

Windsor Ontario well be the worst city in the world according to all of the other contributors, but let's face it, we still aren't fucking Americans.
As for the University of Windsor being considered the worst University, let's face it, it was in MacLeans, the National Inquirer of Canadian magazines. As for being the worst, considering education is standardized, it really doesn't matter. It still beats an education in the United States.
Person 1: Did you read this year's MacLeans University Ranking issue?
Person 2: Yes, I saw it was on the page after the article on Stephen Harper not being born in Canada, but being born in Kenya and is Muslim.
Person 1: I don't know about the Kenya or Muslim claim, but Harper is certainly a douchebag. Thank God he wasn't born in Windsor, Ontario!

A large industrial centre located between Toronto and Niagara Falls. A very multicultural place with many ethnic groups such as Italians, Portuegese, Greeks, Serbs, Croats, West Indians, East Indians, Middle Easterners, and Africans. The downtown area is pretty forgetable, The North End is home to two large steel factories, the East End is supposed to have the highest crime rates, the West End is home to McMaster Univeristy, while "The MOuntain" is a nice, multicultural place.
Man: "I just came from Hamilton, Ontario's East End. Like two people spoke English, all I heard was Serbian, Indian, and Chinese. It's nuts."
