toronto is the fourth biggest city in north america so for the guy who listed about 10 american cities that were bigger is wrong, the only US cities that are bigger than toronto are new york city, LA and chicago so do your homework before you talk smack.
yankee- hey toronto is smaller than almost every city in the US
canuck- do your research and shut the hell up

toronto is the capital city of ontario and the largest city in canada. there are a lot of homeless people, so i suggest locking your doors while driving or carrying a baseball bat in your backpack. it's a beautiful city with a lot of fun and exciting things to do. it's a very cultural place as well, with so many different people and nationalities mixing in one place. the surrounding cities have been swallowed up by toronto, and now it is being called 'the greater area of toronto' or something because it's so large. contrary to so many people's opinions on here, toronto does not think it's american, nor does it act american. i suggest staying away from lake ontario, though, because the americans have polluted it beyond recognition; it produces dead animals instead of fun times, now. toronto is home to the toronto maple leafs and the toronto blue jays, both amazing sports teams who deserve less mockery. if you're going to toronto, i suggest visiting niagara-on-the-lake (because it's cute and you can sit in the grass without worrying about sitting on a syringe), st. catharines (because it's home to the pen centre, which kicks the west edminton mall's ass), and i guess niagara falls (only because then you can answer those stupid surveys with a yes when they ask you if you've been there). it's really hot in toronto during the winter, like forty degrees celcius, and in the winter it's not too cold. the area is protected by the niagara greenbelt so not many snow storms hit.

A city i have visited a few times and it remains my favorite. Cleanest subways, nicest people, least scary to walk around at night. Also a place where I personally saw 2 guys in a hurry in business suits stop in the pouring rain to help a homeless man who had fallen in the middle of the road...and no cars beeped at them or were rude in any way...and that was on Yonge St. Wow imagine that. And yes the CN tower is expensive but what world known tourist attraction isnt? Lots of movie and music events.
dammit i wish that FastCat Ferry was still running... i could visit toronto from rochester every damn weekend

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

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).
