Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I lived in Toromto for awhile and loved it. It is a wonderful, clean and exciting city. Good schools, nice country easily accesible out of town and great parks in town. One of the best public transit systems ever. Winter is cold but not too bad..the weather is probably the main downfall... :-) michelle www.greentaramama.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I hate Toronto. I can only visit for one day before I want to leave. I lived there for two years and found it unfriendly and pretentious. I find that it also has a stressed out negative feel about it. Things may have changed but I would never move back. I preferred living in Vancouver where people are kind and beauty is everywhere. Sorry if I offended any Torontonians but I really can't stand the city.

Gordon's Company doens't really want him to telecommute and suggested that if we really are hell bent on getting out of here (I'M the one who's hellbent on gettng out of here) why not try Toronto as they have an office there. Now. I don't know much about T at all. Except for, if it's not snowing, it's raining. So. Anyone out there got any info for me and yes, I'm google - trawling later, but a first hand perspective is always appreciated. Never lived in Canada. Visited and lived just across the border, would be an interesting experience.... Cheers!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Jessica I'm sorry you had a bad feeling towards Toronto, I have lived here for 25 years and Its one of the best cities in the world. It's also one of the safest. I love it here...all large cities have there good and bad points, and I'm sure that If I was in Vancouver, I would see the negative things that you see in Toronto. As for the people being unfreindly, thats just silly, we have over a million people living in this city, I work for a major Canadian bank and have met my fare share of nasty people, But 99 % of the people whom I meet on a daily basis are wonderful, giving, honest , Friendly individuals. This city has gone through a lot of crap during recent years what with SARS and a local child being kidnaped, raped and murdered, and this city poured its heart out. I had a sister who was terminally ill, complete strangers helped us out, over 300 people came to her funeral...Toronto may not be perfect, But show me a city that is, including Vancouver. I did take offence to your comments, Woobey, when you are ready to see what T/O has to offer, come stay with me, I'm sure you will love it as much as I did. Enuff said..

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I wanted to point out that it's not for everyone. Some people love it and some people don't. So far, I had read only positive things about the city and I thought it was fair to give another perspective, one that I share with many others that I know.
