So this thread is the creation of a man, living alone in Toronto; working from home, alone, in Toronto. Who's social life is obviously lacking, who is so busy making money that he spends hours arguing with anyone on this thread, about anything.
Canada; racism; women?

Speaking as an attractive, slightly overweight mid 40's women who is living in the Bradford Met area, having read through this thread, I am drawn to conclude you have serious issues, are you high functioning Autism, possibly Aspergers sydrome?

And yes, please, lets put together and buy this man a one way ticket to Spain, where he can spin his personal perspective on life.

As someone who spends hours arguing with anyone on the internet about anything. Canada, racism, women. And as someone who is intimately familiar with autism I object to your reference to the condition as a synonym for "lonely wanker". "Autism" is a serious business and reference to the condition should not be used as this year's version of "retard" or "moron". If you want to sling empty insults please stick to sexism, racism, religious epithets or denigration of controllable physical attributes such as rolls of fat around the belly.

It was not used as an insult, a genuine question, the man has some real issues that require addressing.
I would apologize to anyone who may find my remarks unnecessary.
However, I doubt that his man would offer an apology to anyone he may upset, rather enjoy the reflected outrage. Hence the question, his interpersonal skills are severely lacking.
For the record I have a son and a nephew both dealing with problems within the Autism spectrum!
I dont choose to insult the man, I am merely suggesting he gets some help.

I lived in T.O. for a year and lived in London, UK for a number of years. I hear what you are saying about T.O., but these things you highlight are much worse in the UK. Reasons that we want to leave here are manifold: people are unhappy and unfriendly/rude, the weather is bad (constant rain), housing is not affordable, food is bad, the binge drinking/pub culture in the UK, public transport, prices in general, crime rates, clone towns (too many Tescos), boring place, everyone is chasing the money. Oh, and London is simply too overcrowded!

Whilst some of these issues will certainly not be resolved by moving to T.O., I personally think they are much less serious over there. In addition, the people are nicer, the culture is more to my liking, standard of living is better, Canada is much more modern, Canada is cleaner, the food is better, house prices are lower and of higher standard, I miss my friends over there, it's a better place to raise kids. Canada is also very international. I lived in many places around the world and I found Toronto offered all my favourite things from different countries in one place.

I am sure everyone has there own reasons for wanting to move... and I don't think any country is the promised land, every country has its pros and cons. But I was happy in T.O. and I am certainly not happy here.

Yes i couldnt of said it better myself, My family and i moved from UK where we lived for 29 years + and are 2 children were born there, we moved 4 years ago to New Zealand, and although its cleaner and safer here and very beautiful, its very " behind the times " so all your reason you stated are exactly why we want to be in Canada

but perhaps the suggestion springs from an internal conflict on the part of the one suggesting. Perhaps subliminally, I want Adrian.
