shootingstar Posted May 30, 2019 Share #7 Posted May 30, 2019 I lived, worked and cycled (daily) in Toronto for over 20 yrs. Lots of interesting long standing neighbourhoods... I have family scattered all over. I will be visiting this fall after a 2 yr. hiatus. I miss Toronto....it has a lot of tree cover. If one looks out from highrise buildings in downtown Toronto, one can see the tree cover. It has a great extensive interconnected parks system with bike and walking trails. I've biked it for 100 km. trips in 1 day with only 20% on the road going north, east-west from the Lake. You can go west all the way to Niagara Falls (120 km. west) via the Waterfront trail. I miss it for its dynamic pace, its artisitic creativity/innovation (galleries, arts organizations, performances, arts training), drive and sheer diversity...which is far greater than Vancouver or Alberta. It is CAnada's most cosmopolitan, diverse city in every sense of the word: its people, culture, food, etc. There are some rude people in Toronto but there are also far greater numbers of courageous people, who will fight loudly/assertively unfair/corrupt politicians. Very different where I am....meek, conservative and caving into the old school ways/thinking. https://www.blogto.com/ https://torontolife.com/ Hookers are also in Vancouver.....but like many hookers,....a lot are moving indoors to advertise..by using the Internet. Less out on the street. The hookers live in Vancouver..even in tony lovely condos downtown. Same probably for Toronto. This is a problem..for women's shelter services and police.

It's kind of like Boston in terms of climate. Are you just afraid of any place that drops below freezing in the winter? We can probably take up a collection and send you some long underwear.

Longjohn ★ Posted May 30, 2019 Share #12 Posted May 30, 2019 Many years ago I rode my motorcycle around Lake Ontario. That involved riding through Toronto. Traffic was heavy but all going 80 mph, I didn’t see much of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing Toronto to OTHER NORTHERN cities to make a point about it not being a Northern city is nutty. Boston climate is AWFUL for many months. CAlifornia (beaches, mountains, sun, snow, etc) is where the cool kids would go, and HAWAII is the natural winner for folks craving just pleasant year round temps. But, truth be told, we ought to own that Southeast bit of Ontario. It's sort of nutty that we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted May 30, 2019 Share #20 Posted May 30, 2019 Technically, never visited but changed planes to Montreal. Customs was an absolute nightmare, so much so that will not consider Air Canada flight to Europe that depart from Toronto (although I noticed this year could do a Orlando - Montreal - Geneva flight). Elbow to elbow in a large room with a line that snaked to the final point of getting to the Customs officer. Never again, particularly with a connecting flight.
