Everything Is Better In Toronto

[Flybabe]

..... the rest of the country seems to think that Torontonians are full of themselves. Must be penis envy or something...

No, no.. I don't think it's that...

[quote="istp"]I wouldn't like to live in Toronto because of these reasons:

1. rent is too high
2. traffic/commute/bus/subway, whatever is too long to get to work
3. too many panhandlers
4. too much traffic
5. beer in a bar is too expensive
7. I get the general impression that people from Toronto think their shit don't stink
8. too many people to dodge or encounter when walking down the street. I like to walk alone.
9. too much pollution


Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton

1. Rent and housing is too high and way overpriced
2. Traffic/commute/bus /no subway, too long to get to work, Edmonton isn't too bad
3. too many drunk indians begging or crack heads mugging
4. Too much traffic
5. Beer is ridiculously priced whether at a bar or beer store, 14.00 for a 6 pack, ok
7. I get the general impression that when people hear you're from Toronto they stick their nose in the air, I guess our shit does stink
8. Too many rednecks driving their big man trucks like idiots in the winter, too many crack walkers in Van
9. Pollution--I'll let you figure that one out.

However, I like all these places too, though Toronto is home, but, we all have our issues. Before you slag someone else's home, try looking in your backyard first. I'm not saying you're from the west, just using examples.

The American comment sounds American to me: ignorant.

I don't judge individuals by their region, it's just funny to observe or make-up stereotypes. Like the Albertan with the F-350 all Rigged out blowing black smoke as they attempt to break the sound barrier on a straight stretch. Or the spaced-out, granola munching, pot-head from here in BC that abstains from eating meat and having showers because they harm the environment.

Jerks live everywhere. Nice people do too; except in Montreal!

[Flaps 1 Billion]

Ya but Montreal in the summer has many many sights to see.

[Flybaby]

Montreal women kick ass.

[widebody300er]

Too many Torontonians remind of Americans. and they're Leafs fans.

Now I know why I hate this shit hole Toronto so much now... makes sense.. just have to look around and smell the air there... when you smell shit your usually in the shit!!

Have you ever been out of Toronto?
And belive me theirs just as many crack walkers in Toronto... just look at the race

Time to crawl back under your rock widebody.

[Flaps 1 Billion]

Sure have pal, lived in quite a few cities in this country in my life, and out of this country. Like I said, not slagging anything here, just trying to prove a point, read my post. I wasn't the first to come on here and rip up of people's home.

It simply boggles the mind that anyone could be
proud of the disaster that Toronto has deteriorated
into over the decades.

Perhaps I am not entitled to an opinion, but my
great-great-great grandfather, Sir John Beverley
Robinson - see "family compact" used to run York:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Compact

If the old man could see what a mess it has become, I
am sure that he would vomit on your shoes.

I really hate to visit Toronto, and to see firsthand
what a cesspool it has devolved into.

For sure... If I lived in Toronto any longer I would have stayed under that rock!!

And belive me theirs just as many crack walkers in Toronto... just look at the race

Like I said a dark shit hole

[Just another canuck]

The greatest place to live in Canada is on the greatest of the great lakes... the beautiful North shore of Lake Superior.

The American comment sounds American to me: ignorant.

Oh, boo-hoo, I was just making a joke...

Anyway, this all reminds of my instructor down in London who did my Group 1. He asked where I worked... I said "Up North"... he said "What, like Barrie."

Fact of the matter, many people from Toronto are ignorant about what goes on in the rest of this country... they don't know, nor do they care to know. Not all, but certainly a lot.

[Flaps 1 Billion]

Ha, what a joke this has become.

What race are you talk about widebody?

This did start as a mild chuckle but of course, it's turned retarted as do most Avcanada discussions, yes I'm a culprit too. But can we at least agree that Canada's a good place and that it was nice to talk about something other than bonds, working the ramp, bad paycheques and ppc's?

Where's Lake Superior? I thought it was just Lake Ontario.

Don't make me come down there... LOL...

[Lost Lake]

I grew up in Toronto, many many moons ago. It was a great place then. Now, it's just another large city. However 3.5 million or so people seem to think it's a great place or I guess they would move. I'll stick to my little 12,000 people city. Tim Horton's, Cdn Tire, and oh yeah, the beer is expensive here too!!

No, no.. I don't think it's that...

Really? Have you not seen the giant penis statue downtown?

The north shore of Superior isn't 'North'.

The very top of Superior is barely above 49 degrees; which for us west of 100 is what we call 'South'.

I was actually in Pickle Lake at the time. and have lived in NWT and Nunavut as well, but that was after the fact.

But anyway, about the Superior comment, I was merely stating my preference of the best place to live, not describing what "North" is... that being Lake Superior. I guess home is where the heart is.

Hi Flaps,

Well if you look around TO it's no secret where the problem lies not all but some... Anyways your right I am also a culprit..however Canada is a great place to live.. I guess it's the title..and the nimrod that started it..
And it is kind of fun to get into a bit of a debate..

Cheers,
widebody

ps Isn't lake Superior in BC?

[FL_CH]

Show me a 5million+ city that doesn't have the problem with:
- Cost
- Traffic
- Commute
- Crazy/weird people
- "Pollution"

Those of you who hate Toronto don't hate Toronto - you hate the large city as a concept.

I find Toronto to be the best >5 million city I've seen so far!

[Flybabe]

Really? Have you not seen the giant penis statue downtown?

LMFAO

Well, I can't say that I have. Ok, you got me there. Everyone needs a giant pecker in the name of art.
