Please do some videos of some lesser-known places across Canada. There is a lot of beauty in places like Calgary, Kelowna, Saskatoon, etc. We need to start filling in the gaps in Canada. Too many people in too few places. Great video though btw.

Biking is often faster than driving or TTC too if you're fast and lucky

Agreed, I've been living in Toronto for just over 20 years. The comment by J B and the video content by Dane are both accurate.

@@ReasonableRadio Biking is much faster than TTC downtown especially during rush hours. Just watch out for the bad drivers.

I used to transit from Kipling station to wilson station 1 1/2 hrs. On the way home on rollerblads, straight down wilson left on Jane straight down to bloor and across to west mall. 45 minutes and all down hill 👌

also be prepared to pay even more if you don't drive because you can't buy in bulk and you are relagated to expensive grocery stores in the downtown area.

….except English…..

So much construction!

Hey, since you got so much experience can you tell how much can a person earn on an average in Toronto.

How about Victoria

@@sulleymanmusah3255 I don't know it well, and its been 20 years since I visited. Generally, I do have a very good impression of it. More of a small city vibe and situated on a large island. So you are a ferry boat trek away from Vancouver.

The sum up is : Of course Toronto is a nice city - If you can only afford it :P I live in Montreal, which seems to be slowly becoming just as expensive :/

Woke broke joke that the city lol

So its kind of like a 'nothing' nowhereland, like some post-national regional zone.

@@jonathandewberry289 if diversity means nothing you, then yes

@@vaishx What do you mean by 'Diversity' though? A Million 'NPCs' who's opinion, world view and in the case of this host, even his costume and stage voice are clones of American Leftwing Comedy Central talkshows?

It was. Now it is a sanctuary crime hole. A cesspool under socialist rule.

You're very welcome! Hopefully you can make it happen when your older!

Yup. Coming from Kosovo the heat can get unbearable in Canada. Not to mention the nights are always mild. In Kosovo you have to wear a sweater at all times when dark because it gets really cold. The only thing that I don't understand is how the vegetables don't grow well here.

Agreed, the humidity is stupefying and I mean that. Its like walking through a sauna, and its' the one thing I don't miss about Toronto.

So true about the humidity. We've always had some humidity on summer days. Sadly, like elsewhere on this planet it has been more frequent and extreme :(

Winters are definitely worse then the summers. Not everyday is very humid, so just stay in your house on those days lol

Toronto is Cheaper than Vancouver.

😨😨😨 I was thinking to move to Toronto with my family because for us Ottawa don't "move" enough but your comment freaked me out. Even though we earn 2 salaries around 35/hour, it's impossible to live in Toronto? I would really like to have the mind of someone who live there? Thanks a lot.

@@benjamindiaz432 ive lived there for 17 years straight and have recently moved to Calgary just over 6 months ago. I will say this: living in Toronto while earning 35$ an hour will definitely be enough to scrape by but the question is, are you planning to buy a home in near future? or are you just gonna rent the entire time while you're living in Toronto? Whatever your answer might be Toronto is just simply not worth it whether you buy or rent! Your salary/ expenses ratio will disappoint you. Would highly recommend to look elsewhere. Here in Calgary for example tax is just 5% a bungalow can be purchased for as low as 300k, and a decent 3 bedroom house for about 500k-600k ( same one in Toronto for about 2 mill). Plus you have the rocky mountains just around the corner and frequent northern lights display show and so much more. On the other hand you can consider east coast cities like Halifax for example where you can buy a house for even cheaper and cheaper and is surrounded by beatiful landscape and ocean. Finally I will say this: There are 2 type of people that live in Toronto. The super rich ones and th3 crazy ones.

@@ZODAGAWD good thing Alberta isn’t Vancouver.

@@rockymountainspirit738 you are right. And the third type of people is like me who want to move out of this expensive and crazy city. I think living in smaller cities but peaceful and nice weather will make us happier

I bike everywhere in the city and you can do pretty much the whole downtown core on a bike at pretty close to the same speed as the TTC or driving given Toronto's traffic. Personally I don't E-Bike because I hate exercising and getting a big chunk of my exercise in at the same time as I am getting from point A to Point B in the city basically counts as killing 2 birds with one stone.

Don’t forget the National Ballet of Canada, Toronto Dance Theatre and many other amazing dance companies! :)

Well said

yep some days are just dangerous for heat strokes. way too hot to be outside for anything.

Good thing I'm trying to move from Florida then lol

The oppressive humidity and heat is typical for much of Southern Ontario. It catches so many visitors off guard. They think Canada is cold all year. Every house in my community has A/C and we consider it a necessity.

it's actually a Toronto problem . not to say it isn't hot in like , Oakville but the asphalt and concrete of Toronto makes the heat unbearable. That's why Oakville is so expensive. It is more comfortable comparatively speaking

Beaches is nice but you need 2 mill

life is a series of closets!

Move to Jane and Finch

WVRST is the best! 👍🏼👏🏼🍻

Hi, hello, the picture is so handsome! Much like a star.

Hi. Hello, the picture is so handsome.

I'm still looking for a low-cost room for rent.

You will get to enjoy working for nothing, extreme taxation, high prices, racial tensions, overcrowding, hospital waits,........ Enjoy your new life. Toronto is a hell hole.

@@flynn4838 where do you live?

Hi, hello, I want to ask you some information about Canada.

Sugar coating everything intentionally, the lowest standard of living perhaps in the western world . It's a transitionary city for overwhelming amount of people and not stationary. Majority of people that arrive here do not stay longer than few years . Many second world cities globally have a much higher basic standard of living .

@@heidiy6015 I'm not sugar coating anything intentionally, I was simply stating the great things that I feel Toronto has to offer, there are a lot of great things about the city, and everything I said was true. If you wish to express your views in any other area that follows with your agenda, then feel free to write a post of your own, no need to patronize someone who enjoys what the city has to offer. Cheers, have a lovely day.

What do u suggest tro buy from there

@@darth9306 Pretty much everything is delicious! Jamaican Mi crazy Chicken, Penne Con Pesto etc. The jerk chicken is so freaking good!

I agree

Hmmm... I'd question that food, gas, or nightlife is more expensive than cities like Vancouver or Montreal; I'd say the opposite. Prices in the rest of Canada are not nearly as low as people seem to think, even in small towns. Wages are also higher in Toronto than many of the cities and towns, as well. Toronto is way cheaper than many world cities; way cheaper and the apartment sizes in Toronto are really big compared to large world cities. If people are looking to move to a "cheap" country, they may consider a developing nation because most developed Western nations can be expensive to live in.

Hello iam from Norway planning to visit for 1 week can i rent your place in the end of july and how much will that cost ?

Best part about going to Winnipeg is when it's in the rear view.

Bike lanes are the worst in downtown Toronto, especially the Bloor Street West / East. Toronto city counsellors aren't the brightest. On both sides there are bike lines which reduce one lane going each way. Have you ever witnessed EMS or police car driving through Bloor St W on emergency calls?! I have, and they were NOT moving at all because of the one lane west and one lane going east. I have seen with my own eyes, the cars can't get out of the way because of the bike lanes and EMS and cops cars are stuck in traffic.

I'm curious what cities you are comparing the early nights to? Toronto is on the same latitude as Nice in France, or Florence in Italy, The sun sets later in Toronto in January than in cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, etc..

The Junction has some great spots. I particularly like The Hole In The Wall.

I think you mean Indie Ale House, and I completely agree with your choices.
