Another Toronto post hate.
I dont know if we are living in the same Toronto ?
I myselef lived in Europe , moved to Ottawa , then Montreal , to finish here. After around 5 months in Toronto , i didnt find a real explanation to this hate.
OK i agree Toronto is not the Best and far to be, i agree in many points that you said (cockfest ...) But Toronto is far to be the worst.
I had some good and bad nights here , when i comapre them to the nightmare i had in Montreal Winter time (Montreal is only good june-august period when tourists comes) , i have to say Toronto is a paradise.
You complaning about the high muslim immigration ? Are you sure that you been to Montreal ?? Montreal have by far the way more Arabs and Muslims % , and that explain why that city is conservative and girls are over spoiled. But Toronto have a bit of everything .
Another thing , i do find minority girls in Toronto to be hotter and down to earth to what i have used to see in Montreal , That doesnt mean they are easy , but if you work for it you can get it.
My advice , if you are only into white girls . Give Ottawa a try , i spent one year there and bar clubs are all whites , and they are not that difficult.
My only complain about Toronto , and only point i give to Montreal is Money . OMG i used to save more money in Montreal with the low expanses there ( gaz - car inssurance - rent - food ...)
Have one of my buddies who moved from Montreal to San Francisco , he said he would never go back to that cockfest ice-cold city.
Funny that you mentioned Ottawa, because I've been thinking of moving there for awhile now.
I'm currently living in Vancouver, making crap money with my useless bachelor's degree.
I've been desperately wanting to move out somewhere cheaper where I can actually afford my own place.
A one-bedroom apartment in downtown Vancouver is going to run you at least $1500-2000 a month,
but a one-bedroom apartment in downtown Ottawa is only $850-1200 a month.
When I first visited Ottawa with my family last year, I definitely got the "big city, small town" feel.
In other words, despite having a large population, the actual city feels very small.
As a result, I felt that the people were more friendly and approachable than in sprawling cities like Vancouver and Toronto, where people are more impersonal.
I also noticed that the girls in Ottawa (and Montreal) looked a lot younger (and whiter... lol) than the girls in Vancouver. I'm not sure if this is because their universities are closer to the city center, or if the average population is actually younger. Vancouver is more expensive, and wealth takes time to accumulate, so it makes sense that people here look older.
One possible downside I see about Ottawa is the weather.
When I last visited, school had just started up again, and thus, the weather was pretty mild.
But I've heard that in the winter, it's nonstop snowstorms, while in the summer, the entire city gets incredible humid. I'm not sure how I would deal with this, especially coming from the moderate climate that Vancouver offers.
Another possible downside to living in Ottawa is my inability to speak French. I'm worried that I won't be able to get a good job if I can't speak French fluently.
Being young and dumb in college, I decided to study Spanish, rather than French, as part of my language requirement. Now I want to learn French, but I'm worried that I'll "waste" the little bit of Spanish that I did learn.
I'm also working on becoming a freelance copywriter so that I can work from anywhere, but starting your own business takes time, and it's going to be months, maybe even years, before I can start making some serious dough from writing.
My coworker who lived and worked in Ottawa for awhile said that French is only necessary if you want a "high-up" position, but I'm not sure how much I can trust his word...
Anyways, to all my Canadian brothers: I know that this thread is about Toronto, but rather than making threads titled "
The hate on Toronto/Vancouver," we should be discussing how we can adapt to such cities, or
how and where we can move to greener pastures.
Everyone knows how hard it is to get an American or European citizenship, so if we want to stay in the Western hemisphere, where standards of living are high, it seems that we are stuck here, in the Great White North...
