Toronto scored high for its good affordable housing, low crime levels, strong health and education sectors and falling unemployment. - obviously the people that wrote this do not live here!!!
True the employment sector in Toronto is booming but the house across the street from just sold for a cool million, the school up the street cant afford books or a new roof, and everyday i hear about someone getting shot!!!

It's kind of like those "best cities to live in" survey. Sounds like you need to move away from where you are, to the burbs?

I know what you mean about those writers. Now why would you die if you moved? A lot of people commute into toronto for work taking GO trains and what not

Most of these sort of polls and lists are flawed in many ways. Leamington is supposed to be the best place to live in Canada. 'nuff said.

I was curious as to where this place is, and I found these

Habla Espanol?
Leamington is in the flatlands of Ontario much beloved by Dutch immigrants, and is the greenhouse capital of Canada, where most of the work is done by mexican workers on a government program that affords them little pay (by canadian standards) and very few employment rights.
