I'm sure there's something in the bible about self-love being a definite no-no.

Rule 77 (with bells on), Toronto is not 'Eastern Canada'. Not even if you're a redneck Albertan or doped up BC hippie or even Rich007. Toronto is middle, slightly towards the East. It's a cross between Slough and Chicago. (Slough according to me, Chicago according to dbd33)

Rule 78 A basic grasp of geography is a requirement for Permanent Residency.

6,146kms if you go the south route through the States, according to Google Maps.

5,960kms if you go through Canada but it takes longer.
