I lived in Toronto for 20 years old and getting out of the rat race was one of the best things I have done this year.
This city’s transportation is terrible. Very few subway lines and highways. The drive to work is 1 hour each way(20 km)and I don’t live outside the city. All the big companies are located in downtown and it’s just a urban work camp.
Plus the weather is terrible for 5 months of the year from November to March. Snow, ice daily temperature swing of 10-15 C.

I had the misfortune of spending a couple of weeks in Toronto this past October. The traffic was worse than LA. At least in LA jams are only during rush hours, in Toronto, on 401/400, it was from 7am to 8-10pm everyday, 7 days a week. It wasn't due to weather.
 
I hope to retire to northern Canada when sock boy gets around to laying fiber. This is the only idea he has had that doesn't suck but he'll fuck it up.

Did he said he would allow the illegals to swim and snorkel?o_O

Combining tourism and incarceration, brilliant. :thumbsup:

If I overstay my visa (we from the US need visa to visit, your Gov doesn't trust us), they can immediately send me from my Hilton hotel to the detention center next door, no hustles.

Just kidding. Have a nice day snorkeling in sunny Australia. :cool:

Problem is poor infrastructure. We only have one lousy highway from east to west and a couple from south to north. Other cities have rings of highway.
Toronto is stuck in the 60s. 20 years living here and I don’t see any difference. Old buildings, same old roads, worse traffic year to year due to population increase, worst of all sky rocketing housing price.
