The only Canadian city that still has MLB and the NBA and may get an NFL team. A city with the most underrated architecture and diverse neighbourhoods. Perhaps that's why Jane Jacobs lived there. Interesting streetscapes, a public transit system that at worst could be described as "adequate", a lively arts scene, employment, and civic pride. A bit of a late bloomer in the international scene, Toronto is ambitious, look at the film festival for instance. The term world class has lost meaning, call it what you want, it's a great city. To believe that a majority of people in Toronto are ugly or self-centered or is akin to racism. People aren't afraid to live, and we all have moments of pleasure, impatience, insecurity, pride, ecstasy, joy. If you can see that collage in Toronto, the dualities and diversity in experience you can appreciate it for what it is. A large group of people, buildings and experiences that interplay and create something new everyday.
A sampling of architecture- Van der Rhoe's modernism, 1 King West, the City Halls, the Canada Malting Plant, Liberty Village, the Distillery District, Hart House (the the University of Toronto in general), the OCAD building, the new AGO and ROM crystals, countless Victorians, the CN Tower, St. Lawrence Hall, the Allen Lambert Galleria at BCE Place, the art deco of Tip Top Tailors, the CHUM city building, the Flat Iron Building

Get the Toronto mug.Psst. The University of Toronto is easy to get into. However, be warned, it will screw you in the ass. Courses are curved to a C while other unis curve to an A (like Western). Also, you don't enter UofT when you are admitted. You enter a stream. Then you have to make PoSt, which is typically pretty hard to do and very competitive. DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL.
Man, the University of Toronto fucked me again with a 62 in first year economics. Now I cannot make PoSt and I'm stuck with a shitty GPA while all the Western and Queens students party all night.

Get the Toronto Turban mug.One of the original 6 NHL hockey teams with a strong fan base in Toronto and the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area. The most Stanley Cup wins of the NHL next to the Montreal Canadiens who have more then double the Leafs total.
The Leafs last Stanely Cup win was in 1967.
The Leafs are to the NHL what the NewYork Yankess are to MLB considering dollar value, howeve the performance is a different story.
Leafs fans fall into 2 categories:
The first representing the much smaller group of the 2 being those that are extremely devoted and loyal to their "local team" and stay by them regardless of performance, even if they are in a 43 year (and counting) slump. God bless those true blue fans.
The 2nd group of devoted fans are the retards who honestly believe that for some reason the leafs have a reason and desire to win a game. They can commonly be identified by shouting "This is the year! This is the year"
These are the fans who have paid no attention to any other team in the league and for this reason have never made the comparison between the Leafs and a team consisting of real hockey players too see the difference.
The Leafs have the worst 3rd period performance of any team in the NHL. The reason for that being is lack of heart, grit, will and balls.
The leafs exist only as a franchise and buiseness, not as a hockey team. Evedince for this is on CBC during every broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada.

Get the Toronto Maple Queefs mug.Archaeologist #1: "We opened up that city-sized time capsule that we found on the shore earlier this week."
Archaeologist #2: "High five. What was in it?"
Archaeologist #1: "Lots and lots and lots and lots of people with plaid shirts, super-tight jeans, thick-rimmed glasses, and bow ties, all listening to grating three-chord music. 1960s stuff, basically."
Archaeologist #2: "Ohhhhh. That's Toronto you found. It was probably just buried in snow. Not a time capsule. And those 1960s relics are just hipsters."
Archaeologist #1: "Shit. My bad."

Get the Toronto mug.Toronto is the most cosmopolitan, ethnically-diverse city in Canada and, last time I checked, North America. Many Vancouverites and Montrealers can't accept this and say that Toronto is violence-ridden and that we have a drug problem, overlooking the fact that Vancouver's drug problem is so bad that they actually have detox centers run by the city where heroin addicts can get a safe hit. I won't even talk about Montreal, other than to say that they're whining bitches that can't deal with the fact that they're not Canada's biggest and best city in Canada and haven't been since the 70's.
Also, all these small-town farmboys and rural mofos that talk about our crime problem and shit really have no idea what they're talking about because they are too busy fornicating with farm animals and relatives to come to Toronto to experience it first hand.
Besides, we have the hottest women in the world, including Paris and New York. Period.
