The Big Smoke

Toronto is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. With over 2.5 million residents, it is the fifth most populous municipality in North America. Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and is part of a densely populated region in Southern Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe, which is home to 8.1 million residents and has approximately 25% of Canada's population.

As Canada's economic capital, Toronto is considered a global city and is one of the top financial centers in the world. Toronto's leading economic sectors include finance, business services, telecommunications, aerospace, transportation, media, arts, film, television production, publishing, software production, and medical research, education, tourism and sports industries. The Toronto Stock Exchange, the world's seventh largest, is headquartered in the city, along with most of Canada's corporations.

Toronto's population is cosmopolitan and international, reflecting its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, as about 49% of the population was born outside of Canada. Because of the city's low crime rates, clean environment, high standard of living, and friendly attitude to diversity, Toronto is consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey. In addition, Toronto was ranked as the most expensive Canadian city in which to live in 2006[update]. Residents of Toronto are called Torontonians, or Dough-Heads.

What this does not tell you is that this town has all sorts of good ideas that affect your day to day living. For instance did you know that for only 3000:00$ a month you can have yourself a lovely 2 1/2, unfurnished and no bills in. Not bad. The city's infrastructure was set up in classic grid system to assist the silly Buss, Street Cars and Metro (sorry Subway, don't call it a Metro our you will be looked at funny and charged 4$ to get on). On the flip side if a Street Car hits you it’s your Fault. The Giant Cock and Balls better known as the CN Tower and Rogers/Sky Dome can be seen from many miles away. Its there to remind the world that there's a bunch of Cock and Balls in here. There are BBQ stands on every 3rd block selling German sausages for only 3$ 24/7. That is a good idea. I managed to pass 13 of these things the first day I arrived, but alas I caved and had to have one. That may be why I’m all backed up today. TMI? The Go Train system, Great idea for commuters coming and going from far and wide. But don't try to make any friends on one of these, those people are sad angry and don't want to be there for any longer than they have to. Plus the thing only moves at 30 Km/h, I got out and walked from Oakville. Then there is the best idea, but with the poorest execution, the Hockey Hall of Fame is on the corner of Front and Yonge. My God ummm, that game was invented in Montreal at McGill. True story look it up.

Toronto is a cool city lets be serious. Like anywhere else in the world "its not where you are, but who you are with". I have had the good fortune of being with some of the Best this town can offer.

Well it’s getting late and I'm off to the R.O.M. They have sand boxes where you can dig up Dinosaur Bones. Radical
