How about closing this thread & starting a new one titled "Everyday Regular Normal Life in Toronto"...

95% of this tripe has absolutely nothing to do with the vast majority of Canada's diverse societies, geography or cultures...

So you are saying that Toronto is the only city in Canada to have money, schools, school buses, gangs, high rise apartment buildings, soccer, Tim Horton's, garbage, a CN Tower, hey? hold on.... Toronto does have the only CN Tower.

WOW you may have a point then, 1 point.

Actually, i'm thankful for Magnum posting this shit. He's saving me money by making Toronto look like a ghetto, thus making me never want to visit.

Thanks Magnum

Let me know when you want to see something of the real Jane-Finch.

We should have BE competition making videos about Canada from an immigrants perspective.

Judging criteria. Naffness, offensiveness, weirdness and downright nuttiness.

Sorry, I actually find this post and video offensive and disturbing. Get a ****ing life.
Yes i do, but only from a work and shopping perspective, i have never lived here.
If you have anything positive and/or constructive to add about this area then feel free to add.

P.S. I spend all my working days, and evenings, in an around Toronto & the GTA, not driving a desk but out on the street. I'm sorry about the fact that you find me filming the area where you live offensive. I could delete the stuff i found on the internet if this is of any consolation to you. The video remains.

This one WAS made by a resident, enjoy.

Why would people live or even spend time there. It looks horrendous.

Toronto and the GTA is neither more or less horrendous than any other large city. It's foolish to make such an assumption based on Magnumpi's few videos.

It's not that bad really ER.

My videos are not made upthough, nothing is staged, it's all what i see when i am in and around these areas. Although i did say to the OH last night, the same, it does look a bit grubby round the edges here.

Personally, i love it.

When we first visited, we took a trip down the PATH and went to the Wayne Gretzky bar and had a trip up the CN, so i done all that now, you should come and spend time in the city.

I just finished work and we are all going down to the Beaches, nr Queens/Kingston, a really nice area, and im guna take a camera & rose tinted glasses, make a change doing video some where nice.
