Title: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: (oYo) on January 31, 2015, 01:48:49 AM http://styledemocracy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/toronto_skyline_by_basseca-d5b2q6r.jpg
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-montreal-best-places-to-live-economist-says-1.2937517 Is it true? IDK, but it does feel good posting something positive for a change. Positive for Torontonians that is, not so much for the people of Jakarta, Indonesia. Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: TheButterZone on January 31, 2015, 02:42:55 AM Bullshit. Almost nobody gets 'protection of life' authorizations to exercise their fundamental right to effective self-defense. Indefensible prior restraint, some animals are more equal than others, bullshit.
Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: gogxmagog on January 31, 2015, 06:09:32 AM I grew up in Toronto. Lived there for 35 years. I loved it. It is a great place to live if you like arts culture night life...that sort of thing. Many people I know with teaching degrees move there because there are so many jobs, unlike other canadian cities. There is a lot that is good. It is safe and easy to get around.
I chased a girl out west to Vancouver one winter, and as soon as I arrived, mid-january, and stepped outside to smell the ocean and feel the warm air, I never even considered going back. When I lived in Toronto, I never even thought of the awful weather. Toronto is hot n humid all summer, and freezing with tons of snow and slush all winter. It's polluted, the air stinks. It's noisey, and people are kinda cold hearted and mean. Toronto is ok, but the West is the Best. You can't go skiing in the morning and play golf in the afternoon in T-dot. And every time I see the mountains (every day) I say "That aint no CN tower!" Verdict; enjoy toronto when you are young and single, retire out west.

I lived there for 7 years, but inevitably moved back to Toronto. It was the rain that eventually drove me nuts. Non-stop rain in the months of November and March was depressing as hell and just proved too much for me to handle. In the months of December and April when the sun finally did show its face, I was like, "What's that bright yellow thing in sky?" Well, plus my family lives here. Other than that, I miss beautiful B.C. Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: rosh on January 31, 2015, 07:44:18 AM Jakarta is the most dangerous.
That sounds very believable. :) Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: maurya78 on January 31, 2015, 08:12:15 AM Jakarta? I thought cities like Rio or Johannesburg are more dangerous
What metrics do they use to track violence? Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: Twipple on January 31, 2015, 08:15:58 AM And da abudhabi is the best city is too :)
Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: triciaa478 on November 06, 2017, 07:26:04 AM It is not entirely true. Norway and Sweden, according to Gini coefficient and HDMI are the best countries. Oslo and Stockholm are the best cities.
Title: Re: Toronto is world's best city: The Economist Post by: covfefe_ on November 06, 2017, 09:37:01 AM Of course, Toronto is one of the best city in the world.
It's climate, location, diversity, security and many other virtues are favorable. |
