Toronto?
Born there & now (thankfully!) live a couple of blocks beyond it's Western Boundary.
If I were an American - especially one with even the most remote military connection - I wouldn't spend a dime there.
Ironically, a major contributing factor in its progression from 'Toronto the good' to 'San Francisco North' and/or 'the mega-city of evil' was the Vietnam-era influx of the dregs of American society in the person of tens of thousands of its draft-dodgers & military deserters.
Since then they've weaseled their way into our most culturally sensitive institutions: especially education at all levels, our msm & legal system.

Yeah, I realize most of that, generally speaking. Thanks for the details and WILCO!
But it's still a nice place to visit for a day/weekend, IMO.
I definitely wouldn't want to live there anymore than I'd want to live in San Fran, NYS, MD, MA, VT, CA, OR, or WA. But living there and visiting briefly are two different things. I don't like MD, CA, MA, or NY either, but I still enjoy going to Baltimore, San Diego, Boston, or NYC.

A couple of blocks from Etobicoke Creek does not help at all. You need to move at least 30 miles more, to somewhere like Flamborough, Milton, Acton, Caledon, Georgina or Clarington, to be out of the uber-liberalism.

Toronto is what New York City used to be in the 70's.
Quickly becoming a war zone.
I spoke to a lady on the phone who had moved up from New Jersey.
She said she had been mugged 4 times in Toronto.
She'd been there 2 1/2 years.
I don't know if her story was true, but I know I've been mugged at gun point in Toronto, and I have no desire to go back.
