Moonlight Graham Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Canadian immigrants flock to Toronto, for economic and other reasons, so I can see why it's considered "attractive". It's one of the most multicultural cities in the world. Not too long ago I was in downtown Toronto and sat to rest my feet in Dundas Square and noticed that the majority of people walking through the square were visible minorities.

The categories are : City gateway, cost,demographics and livability,ease of doing business,ecopnomic clout, health safety and security , intellectual capital and innovation ,and so on.

On Guard for Thee Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I used to live down near "the beaches" and I do get back to visit family now and then. And now, as then, I really like having all that ethnicity close at hand. Especially when it's time for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overthere Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Toronto must be a wonderful place to live! Can I live there? I know I could move cheaply from Alberta to there, maybe for free. There are several thouisand Uhaul trucks and trailers with Ontario plates waiting for somebody, anybody to head in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyser Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Toronto must be a wonderful place to live!Actually it can be, minus the worsening traffic. Can I live there?Its expensive so be prepared for sticker shock. But yes, come one over, but bring lots of money. I know I could move cheaply from Alberta to there, maybe for free. There are several thouisand Uhaul trucks and trailers with Ontario plates waiting for somebody, anybody to head in that direction. If it works sure! Beats paying for it. But you have to cheer for the Argos, Blue Jays and Toronto FC. Leafs already have too many fans coast to coast, so no worries about them.

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) As I've mentioned elsewhere, due to reasons of possible incipient insanity, I am considering a move to Ontario to warm my bones. I have four candidates: 1. Ottawa. 2. Burlington. 3. Kingston. 4. Lake Erie shore, east of Windsor. One thing that really surprises me in a pleasant way - real estate prices in Ottawa. For an attractive capital city, they seem like fantastic value. Why are they so low? Toronto, by contrast, does very little for me. I have tried to love the place but it is ugly, crowded, and horribly overpriced. I do not get the world class angle at all. Go to Zurich and see what a transit system should look like, guys.

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 We moved to Norfolk County on the North Shore of Erie 15 years ago. Never looked back! BP has dropped 30 points. Just googled it. Looks like a lovely part of the world and not too far from Hamilton. Father up the lake, I saw Crystal Beach in the winter one time and it was probably not the best time to view it.

The_Squid Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Any list that has Toronto as "most attractive city" obviously didn't even look at Vancouver... or Victoria... or Calgary... or Ottawa... or Whitehorse... etc, etc, etc...
