There are those that Hate HogTown by RobDavis
Having lived a few hours outside of Toronto for much of my life, I always wondered why so many Canadians resented Toronto so much. I know I never liked Toronto much, but that's because I was never a fan of big cities. I found Toronto to be too congested, too insane to drive in, and too polluted.After seeing other large cities, however, my opinion of Toronto has improved a lot. Although there is definitely a smog problem, the city is quite clean. It's not the friendliest place in the world, but I always feel safe.
But love it or hate it, you can't deny that Toronto offers an endless number of things to do and see. You can easily spend a week in Toronto and the surrounding area and not see it all. I definitely recommend it as a place to stay for a good long visit!
