In rural Canada, townie simply means an individual who grew up in a town, as opposed to someone who grew up in a thoroughly rural area. Townie has connotations of bourgeois. It indicates a cultural division. The townie would have all of the pretenses and trappings of those from large cities. He/she would be fully intent on attending University. Their music and fashion tastes would be cosmopolitan. Unlike their rural counterparts, they would NOT live to hunt deer and moose, go mudding, and make a sporadic living off of cutting firewood and informal mechanical repairs. There is a bit of disdain from rural folk for the townie, notably for the townie's lack of self-sufficiency. However, the townie often has respect for the rural lifestyle and is likely, at times, to affect it.

Get the Towniemug. That special time of year when college kids, crackheads, and high school dropouts alike ban together to celebrate their degeneracy. Includes all loose behavior, such as throwing up in the bar, peeing in the middle of the street, stealing traffic cones, and any other loose behavior.
Friend one; "Jim is really taking part in townie season this year"
Friend two; "Last night he blacked out and punched a hole in the wall before falling asleep face down on the couch, kids loose."

Get the townie seasonmug. Dense Suburban “cute” town with a upscale charming downtown setting with tons of restaurants, breweries, wine tasting rooms, art galleries, pastry shops, cocktail bars. The New York of New Jersey but nicer and charming with a sense of community: Cranford-Westfield-Summit-Millburn. Townie Town refers to more than just a town you live in but the feeling it of community and connection it brings.
I love living in a townie town! There’s so much to do in downtown! You can grab your coffee and pastry and sit on a bench in the circle under the clock with the passing sounds of the train. (This is more than just any town with a train. The feeling is more like being on a movie set)
