    there's definitely truth in that. I didn't realize how much I was tied to central Canada (not the geographical centre, which I believe is in northern Manitoba - the Montreal-to-Ottawa region) until I lived in Japan for 2 years.

    Vancouver is 3rd.... Melbourne 17th.

    Not to split hairs.. But since you used it as an eaxmple and slagged TO so much.... Toronto is actually higher on the list than Melbourne. So yes Vancouver is a pretty cool town, but by your own comparison standards, Toronto isn't so bad either. It ranks 15th.

    don't give arc such a hard time. he's in the worst writing program in canada: UVic

    same as me.

    B.C. and need to go any further east! Vancouver is great...Vancouver Island is great and Calgary is great! Toronto is imo on of the worst cities in Canada. No's dirty...the pollution is atrocoious...the traffic sucks and the people aren't even friendly! Oh yeah and the crime is stupid.

    Montreal is a nice city...but I don't speak French and have zero desire to learn.

    So if any of you Americans wanna come to really only need to visit B.C and Alberta.

    It's true...what are ya gonna do in Toronto? Here ya can go to the Mountains and bike. Unlimited amounto of things to do. What do they even do in road hockey and wear Leaf jerseys? Yeah thats fun!

    in toronto you could watch a terrible NBA team and a terrble MLB team...and a terrible CFL team...and a terrible NHL team...and...andre3000 would try to throw you in jail.

    The kind of hatred that is being directed at Toronto can only be engendered by one thing: petty jealousy.

    Suck it, rest of Canada.

    I expected more from you, buddy.

    I fear I may have to give you the Gordon treatment.

    the crime isn't as stupid as the lawyers! :twisted: :arrow: :mrgreen:

    The image people have of Toronto as a crime-infested city is ridiculous. I live smack dab between two of Toronto's so-called "ghettos" and I have never felt unsafe.

    Just because we don't wear cowboy hats and say "howdy" to each other and we don't wear Birks with socks and eat granola, doesn't mean that we are dangerous.

    Can't say I've felt unsafe anywhere in any Canadian city (been mugged in Edmonton and Vancouver however) except a few weeks ago when we ended up at a warehouse after party in Chinatown in Vancouver and we mistakenly walked 2 blocks the wrong way and ended up on a corner of East Hastings full of drug dealers and junkies at 4am. Even then all they wanted was change or to sell us crack/meth so we headed back the way we came and flagged a cab back to the Wall Center (5 star hotel). I am sure getting stabbed wasn't out of the question if we went down an alley though.

    Friends have told me there are parts of Halifax you don't go if you're white. Apparently the city is quite segregated and the gang element is strong in a few black neighborhoods and you risk a serious beating going there after dark. I am sure every city has somewhere you want to avoid; especially after dark.

    HAHAHAHAHA I knew that would get under your skin...The worst city in Canada is Winnipeg. Toronto is second. ;)

    Actually TO has alot going for it...I have been a few times. But Young street needs some work? I remember when I was about 7 I went to TO for a Lacrosse tourney and (I can't remember why) But I was dying to move thier. I think I begged my Parents for about three years.

    To tell ya the truth I'm really just a proud Canadain in general. Except maybe Quebec? I dunno what it is...but they just F*cking grate on me!

    Winnipeg is fun in the summer and has a vibrant music scene. I prefer it to Edmonton and Regina. Toronto's music scene is outstanding and was enough for me to really enjoy my time there even if it was the polluted arm pit of the country. ;)
  15. Scott123 Active Member

    ^^^I'm sure there are worse places than Winnipeg? maybe some sh*thole town in Saskatchewan? or Manitoba? I was in Winnipeg in the winter once and it totally sucked.
  16. Andre3000 Active Member

    I believe Cornwall, Ontario to be the worst city in Canada, although admittedly there are a lot of sh*tholes I have not been to.
  17. Scott123 Active Member

    Never been...but yeah I hears it pretty bad. Mind you there are some small towns in Northern Alberta that would rank right up there.
  18. squib Active Member

    Thurso Ontario's pretty bad - it has all the worst aspects of Cornwall without the advantages of a town its size....

    mmm, smell of paper mills...
  19. grapplethis Well-Known Member

    approx. 95% of bc stinks of lumber mills.
