Cleaner, maybe. Can't vouch for this supposed good weather though.
Come to Houston. It can't be worse... good weather might be a stretch but better is assured.
Hah! Just spotted this thread now, right as I'm packing up to leave Canada once more (I've sold out and become part of the "brain drain"). Funny how it took less than two pages for it to turn into a Toronto-bashing thread, eh?
I grew up in Toronto, but I can't say I'm terribly fond of it. Something about the uninspired architecture and lousy weather, probably. But, in many ways, it can't be beat. You really can buy anything here if you look hard enough, and we've got the best assortment of really good cheap restaurants I've ever seen. It's a great place to be if you're into music, film, or sports. The transit system is awesome, even though the locals bitch about it all the time. Crime is very low as far as big cities go. And who was making those garbage comments? Toronto's pretty damn clean compared to every other city I've been too (Chinatown doesn't count of course).
Girls? Toronto has some pretty ones, but they're nothing compared with what you get in smaller towns like Kingston or London. I figure the pollution, stress, and hair dye is bad for their health. Of course, Ireland has the highest percentage of hot girls per capita, and nowhere in Canada can even hope to compete.
Montreal seems nice, and I like it a lot even though it has too many strip joints. If I had to choose, I'd probably live in Montreal because it gets real winters instead of Toronto's weak +1 celsius slushfest.
Useless fact of the day:Quote:

Pogs really come from Hawaii, not Canada. The Haleakala Dairy company on Maui makes this juice called Passion-Orange-Guava (POG for short). Some years back, they ran a promotion where you collected the cap inserts from the bottles, which became popular enough to turn into the Pog fad we're all familiar with. That hairy Pog mascot guy was originally the mascot for the juice, and he's still featured on the packaging.
POG juice tastes pretty good, in case you were wondering.

Actually the food at Zeldas was pretty awful. From what I remember I ordered the Chicken Parm, and the chicken was over-cooked and the pasta smelled like vomit (literally). I was so damn hungry I ate it anyways, but needless to say I won't be making a return visit the next time I'm in Toronto (regardless of the area it's in).Quote:

There's nothing weird about it- there's tons of straight people coming through there since it's only 2 blocks away from the main downtown street. It's not some forbidden zone or anything.
Heh, I never eat there. There's a way better place next door.Quote:
