Putting all that ignorant bias aside, I can safely say that being a resident of Mississauga, the largest suburb of Toronto, has opened my eyes. I have a respect for Toronto. I have an admiration for Toronto. I have not seen Vancouver, I have seen Montreal, I have not seen Halifax or Calgary or Winnipeg, or even Edmonton, but I can tell you that they are probably as unique and wonderful as Toronto is.
I don't understand the people that say, "Toronto is filled with Rapists and Murderers!" .. What about Detroit? We don't have weekly gunplay. We have a bunch of nice bars, a bunch of nice Markets, a nice Ethnic section (that takes up 50% of Toronto) and a great little Street called Queen St. which is littered with wicked shops where you can indulge in just about anything.
In short, Toronto -- and all Canadian cities for that matter -- is a great place to live, and certainly a nice place to visit. See you soon!
They say that Toronto is a place to earn your living, and Montreal is the place to spend it. -- Just food for thought.

"Hey! Toronto is filled with scum! You're all backwards yuppies!"
"Hey.. I'm from Montreal, and I hate you for no reason other than I'm a separatist!"
"Hey.. Why are you the economic Centre of Canada? That's not fair! I'm going to write a definition about how you suck."
Talk about petty. Grow up, kids.

Get the Toronto mug.The largest city in Canada, and the capital of Ontario province. Although not the national capital, it is the focus of Canada's finance, fashion and transport industries. Located by Lake Ontario, immediately east of the huge suburb of Missisauga. It is home to one of the world's most respected universities (UofT), Canada's largest airport (YYZ) and has one of the world's most iconic gay communities.
Toronto is incredibly diverse, with half the population being born outside Canada. This prompted the development of many ethnic neighborhoods such as Little Italy, Greektown-Danforth, Koreatown, Ronacesvalles-Little Warsaw, the Portugese village and Little India. Toronto also has the affluent areas of Yorkville/Rosedale, the historic Cabbagetown and Distillery districts, the youthful Beaches, Kensington & Annex areas, as well as 4 Chinatowns.
The city has short, intensely hot summers and long, harsh winters, although they are well adapted to this, and life functions normally all year. Home to many parks, as well as the green and tranquil Toronto Islands, 10 minutes from Downtown. Over the next 10 years, the Waterfront/Don Lands area will undergo dramatic revitalization, including replacing the derelict port with a naturalized park at the mouth of the Don river.
Toronto will host the 2015 Pan-American games, and is planning to bid for the 2020 Olympic games.

Get the Toronto mug.A post-secondary institution in Toronto where people go to get a piece of paper that is supposed to earn them a tiny bit of prestige.
Pros: Some nice architecture, pretty flexible due dates (in the humanities at least), central location, profs usually know what they're talking about, huge ass libraries.
Cons: Some ugly-as-shit buildings, elitist/bitchy classmates (who also come with a hint of classism), nonexistent social scene.
Neutral: Profs mark a bit harder compared to other institutions, but with loose due dates it doesn't actually make a difference.

Get the toronto trim mug.A Toronto-specific word, as in when Torontonians stand around idly on their porches, sidewalks, tiny lawns, etc. and eyeball others who may not be like them, and when a non-Torontonian is suspected, squint their beady eyes and scrunch their weasel noses and point and open their mouths to utter an inaudible to humans scream – to alert other lurky Torontonians that someone unlike them is near; similar to the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
I was passing through Riverdale last week when I noticed several lurky Torontonians staring at me, and when I paused, they all pointed and opened their mouths to utter some kind of weird noise.
