What is Toronto?
The largest city in Canada. Provincial capital and national centre of arts, business, financial, and media sectors.
Inspires many negative definitions on the website urbandictionary.com. Some have suggested that this proliferation may result from Torontonians having better things to do in their city than writing diatribes about other cities. Residents of these other cities are afforded more solitude and idle time from a lack of nearby entertainment.
Most residents of Toronto proper and visitors agree that it is a city that is coming into its own as worldwide destination. Proudly boasts the least crime of all major cities in Canada and a storied hockey team that will hopefully win the Stanley Cup again before the next ice age.

Toronto - what is it?
A steaming pile of shit that needs to be swallowed by lake ontario and become a coral reef"
Basic bitch: "omg I love Toronto"
Montréaler: "Toronto is a pile of shit"
What does "Toronto" mean?
Allegedly a part of Canada but China has probably taken over, hell we might as well give the city to them, all the white people have moved to Vancouver. Land of the all-mighty hipster: a native Toronto species that can be found roaming the streets of Queen Street West or Kensington Market in their ancestors' denim Levi's jackets and thick-rimmed glasses that probably aren't even prescription. Most people think they can write poetry or play an instrument, but most likely cannot. Due to the fact that Toronto is the most ethnically diverse city in North America, white boys have forgotten that they are not black and are now rapping and spending hundreds of dollars on Jordan's, though they have never played basketball in their lives. Want weed? cocaine? your closest drug dealer will rip you off and is probably in grade seven, white and wearing a snapback. Also home to the legendary mayor Rob Ford who yes, has admitted "I've broken the law many times" and "yes. I have smoked crack cocaine." Every next ten year old girl has probably already banged your boyfriend and there are more homeless people in Toronto than homophobics in Florida.
Guy One: Dude that party was wild last night!
Guy Two: Yeah man! I drank two full beers and had a threesome with an asian and a black guy!
Guy One: Turn up tonight! Let's go listen to Drake and go all ages clubbing with old asian men!
Toronto drinking game rules:
All you need to play is a bottle of vodka and the ability to see in colour. The game is spot the white person. Pretty self-explanatory, basically you roam the streets or subway lines of Toronto in a group and if you spot a white person that your friends don't see, they must take a shot. This game is not applicable to Yorkdale mall, the Beaches or anywhere near Lawrence Park
Toronto - what does it mean?
The largest city in Canada, that's overrated. People who have never been there think it's great, but when they go they realize it's a shithole. The leafs suck as well.
Aw shit! I thought Toronto was going to be cool. Its just a shithole
Toronto - meaning
One of the best cities in the world, recently tied for 5th place in the Economist Intelligence Unit's "Top Places to Live" study. Best city in Canada by far. Has low crime (check the stats, dipshits!) and nice people.
"I wish I could live in Toronto."
"My city sucks, so I'll just rag on Toronto."
"I've never been to Toronto, but my mommy says it is bad."
"Toronto is the greatest."
"I'm a racist Albertan, so I don't like Toronto!"
"Oh no, Toronto makes us rednecks feel like a minority! Time to take the truck back to the farm in Alberta."
"Quebec sucks, parts of Montreal look like they are about to be demolished. Until you realize people actually live there! I wish I could leave this place and get to Toronto!"
Toronto - definition
A great city to live in. Some people are full of themselves and like to think the sun shines for them and only for them, but the majority of people in Toronto are truly good people. Many interesting and beautiful neighbourhoods to explore, and great restaurants/ bars/ cafes etc. One negative thing is that the city continually tears down historic buildings, and build ugly "modern" looking ones. like the Royal Ontario Museum's crystal extension. We also tend to ignore the impoverished people in our city, such as the community of Regent Park, Jane and Finch, or parts of Scarborough. Crime is a problem in Toronto, but so is it in any other city of it's size. Actually, for it's size, Toronto has a very low crime rate. Public transit is okay, could be better. But I've deffinately seen worse. All in all, Toronto is a great city to live in. My favourite neighbourhoods include: The Annex, Queen Street West, and the Harbourfront.
"Hey everybody, Toronto isn't perfect - but it is still a great city to be in!"
Toronto - slang
Toronto is the most cosmopolitan, ethnically-diverse city in Canada and, last time I checked, North America. Many Vancouverites and Montrealers can't accept this and say that Toronto is violence-ridden and that we have a drug problem, overlooking the fact that Vancouver's drug problem is so bad that they actually have detox centers run by the city where heroin addicts can get a safe hit. I won't even talk about Montreal, other than to say that they're whining bitches that can't deal with the fact that they're not Canada's biggest and best city in Canada and haven't been since the 70's.
Also, all these small-town farmboys and rural mofos that talk about our crime problem and shit really have no idea what they're talking about because they are too busy fornicating with farm animals and relatives to come to Toronto to experience it first hand.
Besides, we have the hottest women in the world, including Paris and New York. Period.
Toronto kicks massive ass.
Toronto
A time-capsule, buried in the 1960s and recently unearthed on the southern shore of Lake Ontario.
Archaeologist #1: "We opened up that city-sized time capsule that we found on the shore earlier this week."
Archaeologist #2: "High five. What was in it?"
Archaeologist #1: "Lots and lots and lots and lots of people with plaid shirts, super-tight jeans, thick-rimmed glasses, and bow ties, all listening to grating three-chord music. 1960s stuff, basically."
Archaeologist #2: "Ohhhhh. That's Toronto you found. It was probably just buried in snow. Not a time capsule. And those 1960s relics are just hipsters."
Archaeologist #1: "Shit. My bad."
Toronto
The only Canadian city that still has MLB and the NBA and may get an NFL team. A city with the most underrated architecture and diverse neighbourhoods. Perhaps that's why Jane Jacobs lived there. Interesting streetscapes, a public transit system that at worst could be described as "adequate", a lively arts scene, employment, and civic pride. A bit of a late bloomer in the international scene, Toronto is ambitious, look at the film festival for instance. The term world class has lost meaning, call it what you want, it's a great city. To believe that a majority of people in Toronto are ugly or self-centered or is akin to racism. People aren't afraid to live, and we all have moments of pleasure, impatience, insecurity, pride, ecstasy, joy. If you can see that collage in Toronto, the dualities and diversity in experience you can appreciate it for what it is. A large group of people, buildings and experiences that interplay and create something new everyday.
A sampling of architecture- Van der Rhoe's modernism, 1 King West, the City Halls, the Canada Malting Plant, Liberty Village, the Distillery District, Hart House (the the University of Toronto in general), the OCAD building, the new AGO and ROM crystals, countless Victorians, the CN Tower, St. Lawrence Hall, the Allen Lambert Galleria at BCE Place, the art deco of Tip Top Tailors, the CHUM city building, the Flat Iron Building

I went from Toronto to Owen Sound and all I saw were strippers and welfare bums.
