if somehow I was *forced* to live in a Canadian city again, i'd break down the three big ones this way (of course i am generalizing like a mofo, but that's the point of these threads right?):

Vancouver: if you want outdoor adventures, nothing else comes close
Montreal: lots of culture, everything is much more mom and pop, great people, even the most basic bars stay open till 4 am. and the jazz. ah, the jazz.
T-dot: definitely gets the most good music acts in the country, just behind van. if you are heavy into live acts, this is the place to be. also (no, i'm not a fan myself lol), but the 'broadway' musical scene is huge there too, my aunt goes up there ever year just for that alone.

This is always a hot topic so much so when I saw the DVD Lets all hate Toronto I had to pick up a copy



Really Enjoyed it! Some cool points :)

Im from a small town.. I traveled a bit in life and I love it here for now. Lots of adult biz, tons of stuff to do, and pure culture shock for a a kid from Brandon, Manitoba.

All the main cities in Canada are great. What's the issue?

only been to toronto for a WA show.. and really i think we just went to some malls.. wouldnt mind going back for some actual exploring tho

you must be kidding, in the past 20 years that place had become a cesspool of human waste. why do you think it was ground zero for sars and god knows how many other contagious diseases?

I realized one thing in my 36 years. It's safe walking through any black project if they fight one on one and fists vs fists.
Duke

You don't remember the second "28 days" movie when they were out there in the fields way out in the country?

Zombies are in shape.....How the hell would you even be able to sleep in the middle of nowhere knowing that it only takes one ambitious zombie for it to be your ass?

toronto kicks ass and takes names

I have no idea, JFK :) That's just what the weather lady said! Why she didn't say sleet or hail or something, I have no idea.

Im always amazed at how many programs and adult webmasters are based out of Toronto. Why is that?

not that I hate Germans, but quoted for truth!

If Calgary has better looking women, TO's must look like pigs

damn, really?

best night life? I went to a supposedly called "after-hour" at 2 AM (cause the bars were all closed) and there was an average of 1 chick for every 5 dudes, maybe you guys are used to that though, definitely not my cup of tea

Whatever toronto does, mtl does it better.

next time :winkwink:








j/k :helpme

you are implying that poor people do not have a right to live in Vancouver?

and somehow these people take away from our city? maybe take a deep breath and stay in the super highway capital of the country.. we're all breathing fine over here.. rich and poor alike.

No I wasn't saying that at all. If you read my whole post you would have seen that I posted that video in response to someone else who found a video on youtube about Toronto being supposedly overrun with gang thugs. I was pointing out that youtube videos don't exactly offer the most accurate portrayal of any city. I found that video to show you can find people complaining about anything on youtube.

I actually think Vancouver does many things better than Toronto. For example, the city is way ahead of Toronto on safer heroin shooting clinics. I volunteered for an organization that was trying to get the same program set up in Toronto for crack users.

One of the reasons I love living in downtown Toronto is that you can find a very expensive condo building right next to government housing or a mental hospital. I grew up in a country that was and is still very divided.

I know I would be very happy living in Vancouver. I love Montreal also, but I don't think I can live anywhere colder than Toronto. But I'm just not made for the cold;p
