This poll is for those of you who live in Toronto and the surrounding areas. Specifically, if you had the opportunity or ability (say, with an amazing a job offer, for example), would you consider leaving the GTA for good? And if not, why not?

Conversely, I'm sure there many cities that are great places to visit, but lousy places to live.Well, that's the whole point, isn't it?
To diversify your life and experience this world in its entirety as much as possible. This is the third major urban/metropolitan centre I've lived in and enjoyed it very much but in the same way that life is distributed via stages, eras and chapters, it's time to move on to another set of colours, flavours and styles. I should be doing so in under two years.
Besides, Toronto is a great place to live but a lousy place to visit.
Toronto never was the world class that Torontonians fantasize about. And Torontonins have developed a mean self centered unfriendly holier than thou attitude that's starting to piss me off.Specifically, if you had the opportunity or ability (say, with an amazing a job offer, for example), would you consider leaving the GTA for good?

I'm curious -- do you actually live in Toronto? And if you do, is the opinion you expressed above the reason you would want to leave the GTA for good?Toronto never was the world class that Torontonians fantasize about.

That would appear to be simply your opinion, but you offer nothing to back it up. As offered i an earlier post of mine was the most recent study/poll that suggested exactly the opposite. I have a number of fiends and acquaintances from other countries and continent who are amazed at what TO has to offer when they visit. Tell usl why you feel this way or do we just mark it down as a vent/rant based on very little.Toronto never was the world class that Torontonians fantasize about.

Actually there are a number of major Canadian cities which are colder and hotter than TO, so you observations are weak or you're just a whiner. What's real reason you don't like TO.I hate the weather here... too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer, and it's all wind and rain in spring and autumn.
It is my theory that constantly varying weather makes Torontonians so moody.
Weather hot or cold, wet or dry, at least if the weather is consistent and does not vary too much from day to day, season to season, people can adapt to it and be happier.
certainly. hope to be gone by the end of next year. been here for 15 years and that's enough for me. Toronto does have it's good points, but it will soon be time to go back east to the motherland.This poll is for those of you who live in Toronto and the surrounding areas.

Where is hotter than here? Toronto sure has the gross-est feeling heat in the summer, sticky and nasty and the city stinks even more than usual. I've not experienced this in any other Canadian city, let alone a city in any 1st world nation.
I never said Toronto is the worst, certainly there are worse canadian cities than Toronto. Canada in general has bad climate. But Vancouver is better climate than Toronto, so are many many cities around the world. Temperature is not the only factor. constant blowing of wind is another thing that gets me. I've been to many colder places, but did not feel as cold as Toronto because it was surrounded by mountains so the wind is not as strong. Every spring and autumn, when it is not cold enough to wear scarf, my lips tend to crack. This did not happen to me when I was in England or Asia.Of the major cities such as Winnipeg Ottawa Montreal and Toronto come in at average high of 26/26/27/27 for July. If you can tell the difference of 1°c, you're a better man than I. In the winter the average high come in at Winnipeg Ottawa Montreal and Toronto come in at -23/-15/-14/-10. The ranges of the four other cities exceed that of TO.
There are periods in July that the temperatures are hotter in the Territories than Toronto in July.

No actually you right, you're words could be interpreted as that, but it really isn't worse than a number of other major cities in canada. So where would you think the weather is better. if you're thinking Vancouver, you're welcome to all the rain and wet wet snow, 47 inches/yr of which 25% falls in Dec.. That is a lot compared to Toronto and 30.5 inches/yr and tops at 3.0" in July.I never said Toronto is the worst, certainly there are worse canadian cities than Toronto.

If you like rain.... But Vancouver is better climate than Toronto,....
