the greatest city in all of Canada. we torontonians take a lot of shit because its so awesome, mostly from uneducated, hick, raciest motherfuckers from alberta and london. we have a little of every race in our city and if u dont like u can suck a hard one. mofos say that we got too much crime and drugs and shit but u know what its better than being a bunch of farmers with small dicks

Get the toronto mug.Canada's largest city (in population) and financial centre. Fifth largest city in N. America behind, Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The most diverse city on the planet, where more than 40% of the population is born outside Canada. A world class city, often known for its global meet-ups, concerts and film shoots. Many companies, organizations are located within the city.
The city recievs large amounts of criticism from other parts of the city.
1. "Crime ridden": Basically, same problem as New York. It has very low crimes rates, yet it is critisized for high crime rates? Maybe these "other cities" can just keep dreaming and buy a computer and go the Canada Statistics website and find out who actually does have high crime rates *cough* you *cough*.
2. Pollution: Yeah, and your perfect star land where someone would faint as someone else slowly breathes out carbon dioxide.
3. "Ignorant": Do you know any city/town/village in central BC? Do you know any city/town/village in Northern Quebec? Guess not. Do I know the city opposite to me within in my province? Yes, Thunder Bay or Fort Severn, go figure.
4. "Not world class": Then what is? Why is Sydney, Australia world class? They certainly have less diversity and population (no offence it is an ideal city) and yet we don't have the things to match? Pathetic. Also, San Francisco is rated world class, Toronto has 10x the population, more diversity and their ticket to fame was the Bay Bridge, so we decided to use the CN Tower.

If Toronto were a seperate province, Quebec would be biggest, Ontario would be second and Toronto would come third.

Get the Toronto mug.Related Words
The self proclaimed world class city of Canada. With a population of over 2 000 000, Toronto has long been regarded by Canadians as one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. Whether this is good or bad is a subject of controversial debate among canadians. Usually you will hear a Canadian say that they either love Toronto and think it's the greatest city on earth or that they hate it and think it's stinky, polluted and crime ridden. Toronto boast's a spectacular yet unsettling skyline which features the world's most phallic looking structures of any city. The CN tower (the penis) and the Rogers Center, originally called the Skydome (the balls).
Typical mentality of a middle class Torontonian: "Hi, I'm from Toronto and I'm way better than all the rest of you hicks and hippies in Canada because, like, I'm so sophisticated because Toronto is the center of the universe and you suck balls."

Get the Toronto mug.A very large city on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and the economic and, (tied with Montreal), the cultural center of Canada. People living in Toronto generally secretly wish they were living in New York, but when they get to New York think, gee, Toronto's actually so much sweeter (like Cole Porter, except the opposite - not that there's anything wrong with NYC, we all love the Apple). Characterized by small buroughs and a deep sense of community, it's the kind of place where you get to know people by shopping at the same market. All this in spite of having the most diverse population in the world, of a whopping 5.9 million (2.48 million in the downtown core). One of the best Indy rock scenes in North America. And of course, it's the city that Americans are ferociously jealous of (particularly those in the midwest who can't stand the idea that something Canadian is better than something American) as can be seen in many of the entries in this dictionary. Secretly loved by those living here, and publicly loathed by almost everybody else. It is also home to the tallest tower in the world, the CN tower, which is famously interpreted as a sign of penis envy by the city's detractors and great achievement by its supporters. Sometime home to Ernest Hemingway (1920s), Morley Callaghan (1920s), William Faulkner (1940s), Vaslav Nijinski (world's greatest ballet dancer, 1950s), Glenn Gould (world's greatest pianist, 1930s), Hunter S. Thompson (1970s), David Cronenberg, 1980s), Michael Ondaatje (currently), Margaret Atwood (currently), Oscar Peterson (currently).

Get the toronto mug.city in Canada that is extremely ethnically diverse, and has great shoppng and nice people. My cousins came from the uk to Toronto and they said everyone is extremely nice here. I'vebeen to montreal and didn't really like it there but I haven't been to the other big canadian cities.
I also haven't really noticed the crime problem, it's not that big in most areas of Toronto, and expecially minuscule compared to other big cities.
By the way, *I've been all around* is just a 12 year old racist cracka who jacks off to cartoons, so don't listen to it.

Get the Toronto mug.Toronto is a very nice city for its size. I lived in Los Angeles for three years. I have also lived in Atlanta, Milwaukee and my home city of Grand Rapids. Those of you insulting Toronto...shut the fuck up, I am absolutely sure you have never left Canada other than for vacation. Toronto is amazing, one of the greatest cities in the west. Crime? Are you fucking joking? Wow! The mind-blowing thing is, you're not! Toronto doesn't have a substantial amount of crime. Have you ever seen the rest of the world? Let alone the United States? It really bothers me when people from safe cities (this is relative) try to act tough. Sometimes I'm a-walkin' down the street and one of these POSERS tries to give me the look and I look back at him like "really? do you know what poverty is? I'll bet your mom still washes your clothes." Usually when we meet eyes it becomes apparent that this CHILD is entirely full of shit. I'd like them to try that in L.A. or Atlanta. I would enjoy seeing the fear and recognition on their face as they understand that some people in the world actually are tough. Anyway, in conclusion: Atlanta and L.A. have real projects, I've never seen anything in Toronto that even compares to the slums we have in the U-S of Asshole.
