Personaly, Im an ontario boy. Born and raised, only province ive lived in so far. I really like Toronto, but I think you need to have experience with a BIG city to handel it/appricate it.

Postives: Extreamly diverse. Toronto is one of the most diverse populations in the world. We have people from every single section of the world living in the city, so if you ever want to experience somethin new, theres always a place to do it.

Big city: With Toronto, you can never be bored. Ive lived in Toronto for 22 years, and there are still places/areas of the city ive never been to.

Location: Its about an hour and 20 min or less to NY state, you have lake ontario to the south, the georgain bay about an hour away, the biggest fresh water beach an hour away, some good ski hills for the winter, or mountain bike trails for the summer. Easy to get out of town and head out into the country side.

Housing: Housing in town is expensive if you stay in "Toronto", but if your in the GTA (greater toronto area), so places like Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton, North York, Markham, Scarbrough, etc, the housing costs are pretty decent compaired to other places in Canada.

Negatives: Traffic: It depends on how heavy of traffic you are used to dealing with, but the traffic can be bad. I drive about 74km (45 miles) twice a day every day to get to work, and its not too bad of a drive. But once again, i learned how to drive in Toronto, so im used to the traffic.

Housing: You might not like living in some of the area around toronto, but living in the core is hecktic and expensive.

and its a Big City: every ones always in a rush, its always busy, etc.

So if you dont mind living in a big city, its actaully a nice place to live.
