People / Different cultures: Toronto is extremely...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto is extremely ethnically diverse with 4+ million residents. There is a Greek town, a Jewish neighborhood, Little Italy(two italian areas), Portugese area, Chinatown, East Indian Area, Russian area, etc. Don't be surprised to hear a plethora of languages while on the public transit(TTC). There is always some ethnic/cultural event in the city small or large or very large(i.e Caribana).

  • Tip Rating:
  • I met a Toronto girl and told her I was from Texas. She automatically said, 'I bet that you're surprised that we all don't live in igloos up here.' That came out of nowhere. I never thought y'all lived in igloos but did think the winters got pretty cold in parts of Canada - and they do. I guess this falls into the category of stereotypes. I'm not sure what my tip is...avoid stereotypes...or enjoy them! Lighten up! I think it's pretty funny that a lot of people from other countries seem to think that Texas is one big desert and everyone living here is a cowboy or gunslinger or oil baron...it's funny.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto is a very ethnically diverse city and that is part of why I love it so much! There are high numbers of Italians,Chinese,Portugese,Ukranians,Greeks and many,many more nationalities. There are more than 100 ethnic groups represented in this city. I really enjoy walking the streets and hearing all the different languages. A great place to visit to experience many cultures is KENSINGTON MARKET.There are all kinds of shops and markets representing various nationalities. It is like taking a mini trip around the world!There are also some very cool vintage clothing stores as well! Last time I went there, I purchased a really cool suede coat for only $15.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Torontonians have a strange habit of talking to strangers. If you just hang around somewhere, obviously waiting for friends or the bus, someone might try to start a conversation with you. Don't worry, they are not trying to harm you. They just want some random input on their latest conspiracy theory, moral dilemma, a book they just read (typically psychology or classic literature), or their recent encounter with a strange guy who started to talk to them on the street.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Hhhhmmmmm......you just have to listen to some people to tell. Most real Canadians are really nice folks, but there's a lot of what they like to call cultural diversity here (immigrants). A lot of immigrants don't speak English well and can't tell you ANYTHING about where anything is as far as knowing more than you do. Find a Canadian - a real one.

  • Toronto has so many different cultures. We have a huge range of ethnic backgrounds. Therefore we have a ton of restaurants. Go to China Town, Little Italy for a very unique eating experience.

    People / Different cultures: Multicultural Toronto
  • Tip Rating:
  • People in Toronto come from more than 150 different countries. Generally, Torontonians are very accepting of different cultures and religions, and even eager to learn about others. Most people will go out of their way to be inclusive and to try not to offend people. i.e. Torontonians are culturally sensitive. If you are offended or feel that you have been discrimnated against, this is not acceptable, but in many instances this might just be a misunderstanding.
