Worst of Toronto (ON, Canada)

Published October 2nd, 2008 Leave a comment »

Worst of TorontoToronto is often full of smog and pollution. Congestion and traffic are brutal. Most smog floats across the lake, especially during the summer. It may also look too busy, boring, dirty, and disorganized.

The weather may get very cold and windy, especially when the wind comes from the lake. Winter lasts for so long, like in most parts of Canada. Toronto may also seem too flat, with no specific charm, a cosmopolitan city that somehow lost its identity.

Toronto is an already Americanized city, with less and less Canadian culture. If you’re in to Starbucks and Steak houses planted on every street corner, then T.O. is the place for you. But the real nightlife has gone and some call Toronto “The Double B” (Big and Boring).

Some find the city a multicultural hell, full of crackheads and third world escapees, with Chinese women picking through the garbage for beer cans. Jamaican gangs are often held responsible for gun crimes. Others think there is already too much racism there.

Bad areas are in Jane-Finch, but it is still decent compared to districts in other cities. Many criticize elected people and the mayor, who cut city programs and raise property taxes.

    What? I found Toronto a very nice place not boring at all night clubs always packed always something to do.

    who ever wrote this probably has some sort of grudge against it.

    Not sure where the author of this got the idea that there’s no “real nightlife.” There’s a fair number of Starbucks, in some areas, but there’s a proliferation of independent coffeehouses and restaurants too — ever been to Kensington Market, for example?

    Hey guys,

    All these are things some OTHER people said. I found them on forums, youtube etc. Each city has a Worst Of-Best Of pair of topics and there are just opinions. I insist, opinions of OTHER people, because “the author” did his best to stay neutral. And BTW, “the author” lived in Toronto and enjoyed it :)
