Vancouver or Toronto?
 

Out of these two, which is your favourite and why?

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

Vancouver, because I've lived there before and know it well.

I know nothing about Toronto so can't comment on that one.

Really, you've got to spend time somewhere before you can appreciate it.

Otherwise it's all just internet heresay :)

Vancouver... warmer, friendlier and WAY more beautiful...

I found T.O cold, grumpy and hated spending most of my life inside and underground!

For us - Vancouver - no doubt about it.:thumbsup:

We lived and worked in Toronto last year and returned to Vancouver as fast as we could.

Toronto - hot, humid, polluted, poor air quality in the summer, too "big city, work is everything" takes forever to get out of the city, terrible driving conditions.

Vancouver - warm summers, mild winters, beautiful scenery, the ocean and mountains on your doorstep, slightly less bad driving conditions, little pollution for a city this size - just feels like home to us.

But as always it's a personal thing - I have friends in Toronto who can't stand the thought of living in Vancouver. :blink:

Toronto. It's alive. ;)

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

I thought I was dead set on moving to Toronto but I just don't knooooooooow.

I'm only going for 8 months to begin with so I want to make the most of it.

Vancouver is a little too up itself for my liking.

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

And Toronto isn't?

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

Perhaps. I have no great affection for Toronto but I found Vancouver to be rather smug. It has a great location, sure, but as someone once said of another stunning place: "Austria would be great if it wasn't for all the f*****g Austrians".

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

All the men I spoke to when I was in Vancouver said the women were 'full of themselves', I guess I was a breath of fresh air.

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

Wouldnt want to live in either frankly, too crowded, too expensive.

If I had to choose Id say Vancouver. Ive not been, but at least its not Toronto:).

Mountains / Ocean / Willmore proximity too. And no Toronto summer or winter to deal with, and maybe no mosquitos.

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

No we have mosquitoes and wasps, but no black flies!.....;)

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

Despite the widely held belief to the contrary, the air pollution in Vancouver and the Lower Fraser Valley can actually be quite a lot worse than in Toronto/GTA.

I have to say that when I've been in Vancouver I felt cut off from the rest of the world by the ocean and the mountains. A bit like living in NZ I would think.

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

That's the whole point. :thumbup:

Re: Vancouver or Toronto?
 

JimandNic's posting is much more accurate. I think it would be a good idea if those living in Toronto give info about that city, and those in Vancouver give info about Vancouver. Much more accurate than one slagging the other off.

Sad to say, I've never been to TO, but I do hear that it's the centre of the universe, LOL.:rofl:
