Psst..Hyperborea...don't say anything more about Toronto, don't you think we have enough people already?
Yeah, it is a big city already. *However, most of those reading this though are Americans who can't or won't be able to move. *Toronto (right downtown - maybe the Annex or similar) is high on my list of places for settling into after the perpetual traveller phase of retirement.

Meanwhile Oakville, Ontario (my current resident) is about 30-40 min drive from Toronto and has nothing of interest. Really.
Well, it is a suburban pit, really. * *I can say that with all honesty because I spent a large chunk of my boyhood in another suburban pit on the edge of Toronto.

The suburbs really take the worst attributes of the city and country.
