A city located on Lake Ontario that thinks it rules but in reality, it sucks.
Toronto prides itself with being diverse with Indonesian, Chinese and Muslims of all sorts. But unfortunately they are so caught up with trying to make these people feel welcome that white people get left behind. Just watch City TV. There is this ugly ass dark skin foreign news woman that looks like a hairy ass and the only reason she got the job is because she isn't white. I don't know about you but i'd rather watch a hot white woman on TV. All of these young professional Indonesian women try to dress like business women and take pride in their ethnicity. They also like to go to this coffee shop called Timothy's that is for faggots. Then they sit in there with their chinese and black friends and talk about issues and how they find it challenging to cut in in Canada with white people when it's them that cause the real problem.
It is also full of faggots and adademics that preach gay rights, and like to bash Americans. That pisses me off large because they live the same type of life as Americans but they still like to lay insults. I also can't stand gay men that carry a man purse or fag bag. They look like fucking pussies and they spend all their time in the salon getting highlights.
Even the white people there are assholes. They think that just because the Blue Jays play in Toronto that they have a Major League City. As a result all sorts of posers emerge. The most evident are the Jamaicans and other immigrants for that matter that pretend they are Harlem Hustlers. They think it will get them selves far to act like Finch Ave is gangsta just like the Bronx but they just end up putting gas in my car ten years down the road. You know who you are and lets's not forget the exco wiggers too.
Torontonians think that their city rules but they are the only ones that are really impressed. Anyone that has been to Chicago, New York, Montreal or Calgary know the meaning of a real city.
The only people that I don't mind are the greeks, jews, and Italians because Italian Women are beautiful and all of those people are pretty outgoing and they do a good job getting along with normal people. In other words they are basically white and they are definitely compatable.

Jamaican: Hey mon I'm too stupid to pass literacy test clown. Yo hustla, I like listening to jams of Kardinal Offishal talking about thug life so gangsta yeahh. Maybe someday the Americans will give props to Canadian rap hommie ganja smoker foole.
Indonesian: Ya holmes I wish Toronto was as dangerous as Detroit. Violence is just so Gangsta. I ride the 36 Finch Ave bus because i'm too poor to drive mon. Tomorrow I'm going to Scarlem to wear my baggy raptors jersey with my other gangsta hommies yo. That will get me far in life mon.
Pakistani woman with job: Ahhh. How I wish there were more opportunities for pakistani women. I think it is so unifair that white people can get jobs. Well got to get back to work so I can fund Al Quada back in the old country.
faggot: Oh my god I like so love these alian sunglasses and ugg boots they are so cute. And I love getting my salad tosses by people of all ethnicities.
Hot White female from London that everyone wants to do: (steps on the bloor danforth subway) Oh my god lets we should have taken the car. This train totally smells like diversity.
Rural Ontarian: Man I hate going into Toronto because those faggots and paki's don't understand that farmers grow food that feeds the gayest city on earth.

Toronto is the largest city in Canada. It is the most diverse, friendly and accepting aswell.
Toronto is NOT filled with homophobics,racists,or ugly people. The people are friendly. Granted there are a few of those previously mentioned but overall the city is not in fact over run with "hairy brown women". Even if it was it's not those women's fault they were born hairy. And having brown, asian, black, and white people is not a con.
Toronto is my beloved home. It is said to have two seasons; winter and construction. This is in part true but once these construction projects are done, the city looks quiet lovely. In spring, the city is green and lofty tree lined streets and budding flowers are an abundance.
It may not be perfect but crime rates are low, I'm not afraid I will be attacked by a crazy druggie or hacked to death by an insane pig farmer *cough* vancouver *cough*.
I'm also not afraid to be me. I can be gay, ethnic, brainy and artsy and be accepted. Unlike Alberta...where i would be shot for thinking liberal...
Guess what racists? Toronto is great. I have travelled. I have been to every province and territory in Canada. I've been to London, Paris, New York, Belgium, and Holland. I have seen parts of the world and I like Toronto. I like my city in which stars sit and wonder under the very same skyline. I like the rush, the jazz, the little haven. I like Calgary and Edmonton and St.Johns too. I can like other cities.It's not heaven. But its home.

A large city in Canada which is really cold in the winter and really humid and sweaty in the summer. It made a bid for the olympics several times, but was denied because it is such an embarrassment to the rest of the country. Due to the fact that Vancouver won it's bid for the Olympics and also due to yet another dismal season by the Maple Leafs, Toronto is extremely jealous of Vancouver and says nothing but negative things about this beautiful city in it's media. We understand its playoff time, so what else does Toronto really have to talk about. But come on. This is getting old and sad. Worry about your crappy teams and ugly city and leave your superiors alone.
As in, Toronto is such a hole I wish I lived in a place with oceans, mountains, old growth, and a team that made the playoffs

The largest city in Canada, the fifth largest in North America, central business and trade hub of eastern Canada, and capital of the province of Ontario. Not, however, the greatest city ever envisioned by man, by any measure. Also, not a seething hive of scum and violence (or at least no more than your average large North American city).
Let us look at the facts, shall we:
1) The most multi-cultural city on the planet (not so much a positive or negative, just a fact). Over half of the population originates outside of Canada, and thus, white people make up a minority within the Greater Toronto Area. Take it as you will, but it is the statistical truth. Most Torontonians are obscurely proud of this fact, even though they had nothing to do with it.
2) The crime is a bit of a problem, but then what large city doesn’t have crime? New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, all with high crime rates, but people still flock to these cities. There is no perfect, crime-free city in the entire world, so why is Toronto's statistically average rate of violence and illegality such a sticking point? Of course the biggest city in the country will have crime. It would be foolish to think that it didn't.
3) The architecture certainly leaves something to be desired, but that only comes as a result of Toronto’s coming of age in the 1960’s. In all fairness, it might be best to blame the old city planners for this particular oversight.
4) The lack of a decent nightlife is…well…it’s a problem; let’s just leave it at that.
5) The climate is admittedly wretched (frigid winters and unbearably humid summers), but one can’t possibly blame the city. Blame geography, global weather patterns, the Gulf Stream, whatever helps you sleep at night.
6) The gay community is quite vibrant and well represented, as seems to have no trouble making itself heard. Whether this is a problem or a not, it is best to leave up to the individual. Suffice to say, they’re queer, they’re there, the rest it up to you.
7) Pollution is a definite problem. Toronto is clean, but only in a comparative sense. The air is clean, compared to Pittsburg. The water is clean, compared to New York. The streets are clean, compared to Detroit. Standing on its own however, Toronto is just as dirty and polluted and smoggy as one can expect from a big city. Certainly, it’s a problem, but it isn’t like it’s an uncommon one.
8) The culture of Toronto is virtually non-existent, which is understandable, because what culture could possibly survive the deluge of immigration the city has experienced over its history? New York, L.A., Chicago, Boston, Montreal, Vancouver, they all have a distinct flavor, a rhythm all their own. Most cities do, given enough time (with the exception of perhaps Calgary, which is by no means a bad place, it’s just very bland, in a western, blue-collar kind of way), develop a unique character. Toronto just…never got around to it.
9) Torontonians can be a bit tiresome. Not all Torontonians mind you, just that special breed who seems to have an obscene amount of pride in their hometown, and are all too willing to overlook all of the various social, economic and environmental flaws that plague their beloved “T.O.” Civic pride is one thing, but this is just out of control. Don’t ever try to argue with these people, because you really won’t get anywhere. Just smile, and nod, and excuse yourself as quickly as possible.
So, it truth, Toronto is in most ways, a statistically average, large sized North American metropolis. It’s not the center of the universe; it’s not the greatest city on the planet. It has its share of ups and downs, pros and cons, and what city doesn’t? It’s not New York, though perhaps it wishes it was, and it should never be an object of jealousy, or scorn. Most people in Vancouver or Montreal have better things to do than idolize/berate Toronto, this you can be assured of. It’s just that vocal minority who always seem to pipe in with their two cents about how much they hate that “scumbag city on the lake,” or how much they love their precious “T dot”. It’s just a city, like so many others.

The biggest overstatement of all time.

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.

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.
