    If it was farther from Toronto, it would be a better city. Toronto's crime and pollution keeps creeping north.

      The inevitable march of progress.

      Besides, most of southern Ontario is just a Toronto suburb anyway.
      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

        Markham isn't bad if you want to get to Toronto. There's a 24hour Yonge Street bus that takes you to the TTC, it's like a 15 minute busride.

        Plus your car insurance is way less, crime is way less, and there's far more computer stores.

            I've never been to Toronto. Is it your typical boring Midwest town with a high standard of living? Or does it have more of a New York feeling?

For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

              Midwest?

              Did you fail geography?

              Toronto tries very hard to be like New York, it's pretty painful.

                As far as I know, there are a lot more geographic features dividing Toronto from NYC than from Detroit, for instance.

                I did not fail geography.

                    To answer your question, Toronto is not at all like a typical midwestern American town. It's heavily multicultural, and is the focus for economic and financial life in Canada. It's not really New York, but neither is it Detroit or Chicago.

                      If the Canadian dollar is almost equal to the American one, what will happen to all the poor jokes?

                        We'll just have to substitute the Finnish Markka. It's too bad you guys don't use it anymore, though. Kinda takes all the fun out of it.

                            Why would somebody with a non-small penis feel inferior?

                            Toronto sucks, but sucks less than Detroit but more than New York. It is midway on the suckage scale, which ranges from Calgary on the rule side and Edmonton on the suck side.
