Toronto is awesome, there's something to do there every day. UofT is a great school and the parks (high park) are beautiful.

I live beside High Park. Come check it out. If you like big city it's the bomb. Cleaner and a lot less crime than any of those American cities. And you can breath up here. I would recommend the east end though, it's nicer and "The Beaches" is the best place to live, you may never leave. Meet a Toronto girl and get full health care and poker is tax free. And hell yea, unless you love Bodog, no site is off limits.
Don't go to Montreal or anywhere Quebec, they speak mainly French. They actually have laws that prohibit English to be in larger writing than French on any sign, label or newsprint. Go there for a vacation the women are gorgeous.

Tj, that's where I used to go to score herbal remedies in my high school days. What's the neighborhood like these days? It was pretty rough back then.

Come on, that's such a lame, narrow-minded argument...Pretty much everybody speaks english, especially downtown, and it's a great student town.

The lakeshore strip is almost gone. All condos on the lake. Around the park is all new homes and stores. It's an expensive area now to live in, 5 mins from downtown. Still wouldn't spend too much time at night around Roncevales and Queen ( Where I live) still a few dregs and homeless, but the sex is still cheap and they get off your lawn by daybreak.

My gf just got a job offer in Toronto, there's a good chance we'll be moving there in April. I've been a few times and always liked it. Gonna be a big change from Seattle though. And the weed won't compare, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Zook, I don't smoke, but I can tell you this. We get our weed from Canada, same as you. Where do you think Vancouver is?

If Toronto's comes from BC, then awesome. But there's plenty of great stuff here than doesn't come from across the border

Toronto would be a nice place to go to school. Living here is okay, not great but coming here for a short time would be fun.

Two Thanksgivings? Could this be the solution to all that ails this World? The idea is so beautiful, I'm going to cry.

I'm down in Tacoma (thats about 30-45 minutes south of Seattle for you "outsiders"), and the local stuff I get is nearly ALWAYS better than the BC that we get.
I'm not saying it's better than what is available *IN* BC, but I never figured their best was sent down here, but rather the mass produced money-making stuff. It's always a let down when I'm stuck with the BC that we have available here.

Fuck the east coast dude, come to BC. Move to Kelowna and hang out with me and turn me into your poker prodigy.
