Totally off-topic but I just thought this was kinda interesting. I'm a listener of a Canadian comedy/folk group call The Arogant Worms. They have a song called "Toronto Sucks" which I hadn't really given any significance till I saw this. I was hoping we could get some of our Canadian members (Radio?, garçon?, Twitch?) to comment on it:

"Let's all hate Toronto." (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/13/hate.toronto.reut/index.html)

Toronto bashing isn't political. It's scientific.

Well, Hiby isn't around to defend Toronto, but my experience has been that if you don't live there you tend not to like it very much. From a maritime perspective a lot of money and jobs have moved west to Toronto. I myself can't say I hate Toronto, but yet still have not taken up an open offer of a place to stay there rent free from a relative, despite several tries to get me to go.
Anyway it's late, maybe I will have something more intelligent to say tomorrow...

It seems like at least one aspect of the article seems acurate, when it states that anti-Toronto sentiment is stronger towards Vancouver. Twitch, being from the Maritimes doesn't mind Toronto as much as Radio, who's from BC... interesting.

Being a Torontonian myself, I can definately see what the rest of the country (or world?) sees when saying that Torontonians can be unfriendly, arrogant, ignorant, or any combination of the above. I've got many relatives who moved to Toronto from out of city/province/country/planet who all complain about how "cold" people here are in one way or another.

What causes it? I wish I knew. Maybe some of it is the bustle and rushing attitude of a big city that has a large economy. Part of it could the be population density and how it affects people on a large scale. I'm not looking for excuses, but explanations. I for one would like to see it change.

And don't get me started on how Toronto's being run. I do think that Toronto is a great city, but it does have juuuuust a few problems.

It's kind of hard to judge the entire female population of the second largest country on the planet based on one city.

I do come and look at this site once in awhile, incase any news of Alizee's return comes or something... But I haven't posted in awhile (obviously). I just had to post in this one..

We all know the rest of Canada hates us, and since most of the people that live here are arrogant, Toronto generally hates the rest of Canada

I'm not going to defend Toronto, but I'm pretty sure the reason everyone here is so unfriendly is because they are in a rush and generally just don't want to be "bothered".

Anyway, Alizee rules, see you guys in a few months, lol

Ok... so I got the title of the Arrogant Worms song wrong. It's actually called "I Hate Toronto." But so everyone knows what the heck I'm talking about, here's a YouTube video I found with the song. Enjoy:D:
