TORONTO has Changed
 

What was once a promising North American city, has fallen into last place in every single category in the Canadian business magazines and other media sections. Toronto's infrastructure is falling apart due to the lack of money. Highway systems and other infrastructure are not being kept well, and are often not up to date.
Most often when turning into news, 90% of the local news is about negative aspects of the city and the surrounding region.
Toronto was once a very safe city compare to other major cities. Even though Toronto has still low number of crime comparing to other cities. You have to take into the population factor as well though.
The crime scene in Toronto will only get worse due to the lack of professional jobs and many large companies moving out of Toronto.
If you need more information, please pick up the Canadian Business Magazine September Issue. READ MORE ABOUT IT.
And yes by the way - TORONTO is not the centre of the UNIVERSE PEOPLE

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Gosh really? you mean its just like every other place on the planet!

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Well can't really say like every other place on earth, cause there are still many other cities which I have not visited.
But yes I guess the world is changing and more of the cities are becoming unsafe, and unreliable.
Where are you exactly from ?

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

And your purpose in posting this rubbish is?

Tell me when was the last time they had a riot in Toronto like the one they had last week in Birmingham?

As for being the centre of the Universe, I agree, it isn't. But it's a lot closer than Dubai.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Well Very sorry if you find my posting very rubbish.
Actually this is not a rubbish fact, but only recent news and studies which was done by the Canadian business magazine. As I mentioned you can pick up this magazine, if you are living in Canada. If not then I am sorry you may find it on the net.
As a resident of Toronto for the past 19 years, I am only speaking by my experience and others experience.
I did not say Dubai was close to being the centre of the universe either. If you read correctly.
Although it is moving in the rigth position, Dubai has good future ahead of them by implementing a right infrastructure from the begining.
In all resepct, unfortunatley Canada and the US have lost many aspect of their governmental controls starting from their gun control leading down to their foreign policy.
In regards to RIOTS. I am sorry but don't they have riots every weekend in England. Even with Football matches, they have riots therefore please do not tell me about riots.
Therefore please make your remarks by having a backup. As far as I am concerned that is the only way to speak.
Have a great night.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I see you are SOOO well informed :rolleyes:

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Once again thank you for your compliments coming from you.
I am not here to go back and forth with your posting.
Therefore if you do have any intelligent remarks, or comments, then drop them by, if not then there is absolutley no reason to hear them. We already hear most of it from politicians and governments. :D

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Politicians....you mean like George Bush, or Blair ? :D

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Well if it took you 19 years to decide Toronto isn't for you, I think by now you probably know your way to the airport. Have a nice flight out.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Can you say disgruntled

From Websters dictionary;

adj : in a state of sulky dissatisfaction [syn: dissatisfied]

indeed he is

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Are you are writer for Canadian Business magazine, CMtoronto2dubai ? Your style and the frequent plugging of this obscure publication suggest you might be.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Geesh, You seem to place a great deal of emphasis on today's over the top media coverage of Toronto's ill's etc when deciding when to ship out. I sincerely hope your selection of Dubai as a place to run to is not based on this popularist press alone. I guess we can't count on you being Toronto's evangelist in the Gulf !!

Do us a favour, would you throw your UK newspapers out though, the reference to violence at football grounds every week is way out of date, perhaps you picked them up on your way to live in Toronto ..........what was it 19 years ago!!

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Ho Ho, if you've lived in Canada for 19 years you'll probably melt in the first week of living in dubai.

Still tax free place and it'll definitely help with your obvious drinking problem. :cool:

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I doubt that he/she is a writer dbd33. Read his/her posts again. English seems to be his/her second language. Too many spelling, grammar and punctuation errors for a writer.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Had the option to move to Toronto. Mind was made up on the taxi ride from the airport to hotel (seriously). Why anyone would want to move from the popn density of the UK to Toronto is beyond me.

Would help if the public transport was a bit more stroller/wheelchair friendly also.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

And yes by the way - TORONTO is not the centre of the UNIVERSE PEOPLE[/QUOTE]

Thats what the people on the west coast have been saying for a very long time! ;)

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I just saw Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa since I am in Canada(august) and it is true Toronto lacks something there is in Montreal regarding quality of life.
People in Montreal are complaining and saying Montreal sucks when they compare themselves to Toronto (yet they hate Toronto). Everybody, everywhere is just whining (like in France where people are so desesperate it gets funny)

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

To highlight that Toronto's infrastructure is crumbling and a lot of investment is being lost by the city. Useful, in the context of this forum for people thinking of moving/investing there.

Your turn:

why the rude reply, and why do you think the post was rubbish?

To everyone else. Why all the aggression towards the poster? They're simply putting forward their point of view based on their observations of 19 years of living in that city. What exactly is the problem?

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

You've lost me.

Why do people in Montreal complain about Toronto? Is it wages/ employment, price of houses?

If as you say the quality of life is better then what is there to complain about.

Regarding France, from my experiences the French are a lot more content and happy with life than the British.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Oh dear. That was intended as a stab at the quality of writing in Canadian publications. CMtoronto2dubai's posting is indeed very rubbish, innit ?

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

WOW I see that with my true postings I have created such a touchy feeling for all you people out there. Don't you worry. Your Canada is still a wonderful nation to be discovered, just not TORONTO. That's all.
And with all these bashings from your side, it seems very typical of a TORONTONIAN to be bashing others. That is just the normal way.
Toronto bashing ottawa
toronto bashing montreal
toronto bashing province of quebec
toronto bashing United States
toronto bashing United States beacuse of their city's gun control.

It's just a typical TORONTO thing. TO bash. and obviously Once again you have proven with your replies.
Enjoy you city, and your centre of the Universe. But please do not emberass yourselves by comparing your city to New York,Chicago, Los Angeles, Montreal and Londons. Toronto does not even come close to those cities.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I usually compare it to Pittsburgh, the skylines are remarkably similar, is that ok ?

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

LOL LOL
Is that a new Pittsburgh Bashing now LOL

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Yep, its much cheaper than most of those

I dont live in Toronto, and wouldnt want to, but what you are expressing is just an opinion. its neither right or wrong, so try and keep things in perspective. Your comments about weekly riots in england certainly exposed a level of ignorance about the way things are there.

I hope you find what you are looking for in Dubai. We get the message, you dont like Toronto. That doesnt mean that everyone will agree, and plenty of other studies have rated Toronto pretty well.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Iaink
From a write who posted in regards to Toronto, expressed that there is Riots in Birmingham. Don't get me wrong, I do like Toronto, but not what Toronto is turning out to be. That is why I did mention, that it was once a great city.
But hey who am I, all you need to do is read the articles in latest magazines about the city's cost of living, and cost of going business and the city's living standard.
that's all I said. Nothing to bash England. Trust ME

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I don't much care for Toronto, I find it's very much like Chicago or Omaha or Oklahoma City, that is, there's nothing really remarkable about it. Still, I don't think it's changed very much in the past ten years or so. What would you say is different ?

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

LOL
Montreal Sorry but both drinking and the heat is not an issue.
The cold weather was though, and of course the Canadian MOLSON CANADIAN

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I'll do you a favour and stop you there.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

Actually you can do that with your eyes, "Mary, mother a God, I don't want to read this" you could mutter to yourself and stop. There's no real need to tell us you've stopped.

I assume that since you don't live in Toronto you can't really say how it is has changed for the worse, still it's a talkboard, if you have some uninformed speculations please, bring them on.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

:D

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I didn't! :D

Are you throwing a tantrum dbd? :D

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

I wouldn't say so, no. I'm pretty calm. I feel favoured.

Re: TORONTO has Changed
 

That's good then. Congrats on your flavoured feeling!
