One week and all you hear is people stabbing each other in the subway and on the streets. It’s game over for Toronto.

"there's barely anything to do here" CN Tower. Ripley's Aquarium. The Rom. The Convention Center. (depending if there's something happening there that sparks your interest.) Eaton Center. China Town.

Crime, homelessness is rising. I went to Toronto 10 years ago, Finch station was way worse than I remember it. There are more crackheads around, crazy people talking to themselves, the artists that play in the subways were now weirdos. Toronto has changed.
Unfortunately when in Toronto there is nothing to smile about. You are handing out change and trying to weave your way through crowded streets where people have forgotten how to walk to the right side of the sidewalk. I hate going into the city these days. It is disgusting.
Toronto is now 51.9% foreign born residents. This demographic change occurred relatively quick. There is no other city on earth with that percentage of foreign born, other than Miami
Woodstock has Southside Aquatic Center and is the place to live in Ontario. There's not much to do in Toronto and the city is pretty dirty. The people are also really rude and there's a lot of crime. I wouldn't recommend visiting Toronto unless you absolutely have to.
So what are you doing to fix it? Showing kindness to your neighbour, supporting social infrastructure, writing letters to your MP about electoral reform...? Would love to know.
The downtown core of Toronto was good until up about 2010. It was kinda of boring but heck rents/property was cheap. So was groceries, eating out and grabbing some drinks on a night out. Very little crime. People were not looking for a fight. Not like today where there are nutjobs waiting to stab you on the ttc. Toronto is now starting a decade of decline. The crime is going to keep on going up., homelessness, there is going to be a drug epidemic in the city. We will be waiting for the completion of public transit projects which will never be completed. People are going to start fleeing the city for the suburbs.
It's unfortunate really, Toronto has the potential to be great. But a lack of overall competency in leadership and policing don't do much to stop crime. I just feel like Canadians are too nice. The quickest steps are to stop letting criminals back on the streets, and control the country's immigration severely, which is a bit hypocritical, but first come first serve.
Just thinking pure tourism, Montreal has a great European aesthetic, Vancouver's close to ocean/mountains, Toronto is just a big city that offers stepdown amenities compared w NYC/Chicago, I never regard it as a tourist destination to begin with.

It isn't just Toronto. All across North American cities. I hear you though, I was also born and raised in Toronto. Getting old now and I have seen this city grow from some office towers downtown to the condo cityline you see today. We are going down a very dark path this final millenium.
@Alien Life I lived 6 different countries over 20 years, believe me. You can see a lot of Torontonian in downtown they are mentally ill.and huge drug problem in Dundas.its sightseeing place but full of druggie and mentally ill people.
0:19…….most likely a foreign visitor from somewhere else….who probably lied about from that city and at the same time mispronounced the name. Nuff said.
Ya I agree. The people that live there are pretty rude and unwelcoming. Especially the cyclists. Traffic is a mess bike lanes in places where car lanes should be.
If you compare the downtowns of panama city to Toronto the difference is like day and night. Toronto lacks competition on attraction sites and has weird intersections and 1 spot that is car free
All these people moving to Canada they get suprised how expensive it is. You need to make more money in order to make it in Canada . I have a uncle who moved to Vancouver in the 80s he bought a house that house went up to million something sold it in 2013 now his new house is like 2 million he is 70 …… he drove a taxi all his life and was able to do that.
People stopped smiling when covid came after that we were all not friendly anymore in case we spread covid. Stay faaar away from other people and don’t look at them . We’re still afraid 😱
Y’all need to re-evaluate what overrated and disappointing is, I have travelled across 6/7 continents and while there is exceptional beauty in some of these other places, I am always overjoyed to return to this great city and country. Oh Canada indeed
Food scenery has become completely overrated. Super expensive and the quality plummeted after pandemic. Transit system still kinda sucks. Everything is expensive, mostly housing. I love Toronto but if I was just moving here I too would be disappointed.
Toronto remains Canada's most successful sporting city in modern times though. For example Toronto is a combined 3-0 all time in World Series and NBA Finals appearances.
I know hockey for most of Canada is pretty much the only thing there is to obsess about, but you'd be surprised that Toronto has so many other things to do and see that the entire population doesn't revolve around the NHL! 🤗
I've driven across Canada many times, the mini cities are always the most enjoyable. SSMarie, Brampton Manitoba, Saskatoon, Canmore Alberta, Kelowna BC (IN THE SUMMER) all beat the bigger cities. In the winter? Who cares, Corner Brook NL maybe lol
I found Vancouvites a but stuck up and they kept asking me if we were there to steal their jobs. I told them if you want to work in Toronto apply for job if you have the skills you will get the job.
Thanks, NIMBYs! Also, did those pollsters even bother to take a stroll down Kensington Market or Danforth during their Greek festival? (The spanakopitas on offer are delicious and reasonably priced!)
It's funny because there are videos on TH-cam of Canadians across the country dancing and celebrating the Raptors championship in 2019, bars from Vancouver to Halifax packed with people watching a Toronto sports team.

It isn't just Toronto. All across North American cities. I hear you though, I was also born and raised in Toronto. Getting old now and I have seen this city grow from some office towers downtown to the condo cityline you see today. We are going down a very dark path this final millenium.
Do it while you can. You don't wanna be here on your deathbed that's for sure
@Alien Life I lived 6 different countries over 20 years, believe me. You can see a lot of Torontonian in downtown they are mentally ill.and huge drug problem in Dundas.its sightseeing place but full of druggie and mentally ill people.
Totally agree with you
@@wiseacres8020 that’s the one.
Let’s interview people who just got here for a day out and see…. 🤦🏽🤣
Does this mean Casa Loma is meh?😑
must be all the glorious condos
I am from Wancouver. Sure you are, buddy.
0:19…….most likely a foreign visitor from somewhere else….who probably lied about from that city and at the same time mispronounced the name. Nuff said.
And he'll get mad if you ask him where he's really from.
At least there are lot of new young immigrants are coming. Toronto people can sell their house to them before they figure it out
Shouldn't you be in California on a rampage
Yes we'll sell it to you visitors for 1.2 million and in ten years it will be worth $400,000🤗
@@SillyBillies1 Nah, he should take COVID-19 back to China.
Canada is a disappointing country.
Ya I agree. The people that live there are pretty rude and unwelcoming. Especially the cyclists. Traffic is a mess bike lanes in places where car lanes should be.
If you compare the downtowns of panama city to Toronto the difference is like day and night. Toronto lacks competition on attraction sites and has weird intersections and 1 spot that is car free
City needs upgrade,a new look ,new streets
Hello
True Troy has let us down
All these people moving to Canada they get suprised how expensive it is. You need to make more money in order to make it in Canada . I have a uncle who moved to Vancouver in the 80s he bought a house that house went up to million something sold it in 2013 now his new house is like 2 million he is 70 …… he drove a taxi all his life and was able to do that.
Oh yeah? Just take a ride on the TTC if you want adventure.
People stopped smiling when covid came after that we were all not friendly anymore in case we spread covid. Stay faaar away from other people and don’t look at them . We’re still afraid 😱
i think that trend was already happening, covid just accelerated it
Y’all need to re-evaluate what overrated and disappointing is, I have travelled across 6/7 continents and while there is exceptional beauty in some of these other places, I am always overjoyed to return to this great city and country. Oh Canada indeed
Food scenery has become completely overrated. Super expensive and the quality plummeted after pandemic. Transit system still kinda sucks. Everything is expensive, mostly housing. I love Toronto but if I was just moving here I too would be disappointed.
I HAVE to AGREE IT'S NOT A NICE CITY BUILDINGS CARS BUT IT'S GOOD FOR MONEY
Bros from Vancouver and cant even pronounce the V
Lol.... over priced full of trash...... its garbage.
Let the history of The Toronto Maple Leafs tell the city's story.
lol
Toronto remains Canada's most successful sporting city in modern times though. For example Toronto is a combined 3-0 all time in World Series and NBA Finals appearances.
Go leafs go Toronto is the best teM in the world they will win the Stanley cup!!!!!
@Alex yu I remember that passion. It's been more than 3 decades. I miss my neighbors, the McKenzies. Bob, Doug, and I used to watch all the games.
I know hockey for most of Canada is pretty much the only thing there is to obsess about, but you'd be surprised that Toronto has so many other things to do and see that the entire population doesn't revolve around the NHL! 🤗
I've driven across Canada many times, the mini cities are always the most enjoyable. SSMarie, Brampton Manitoba, Saskatoon, Canmore Alberta, Kelowna BC (IN THE SUMMER) all beat the bigger cities. In the winter? Who cares, Corner Brook NL maybe lol
Brampton? You’re kidding.
Toronto.... the armpit of Ontario
Not so sure about the city , but their hockey team sure is disappointing
We need more electrical poles. We don't have enough kf them. I love looking at them everywhere. No don't put them underground.
I like Vancouver better because it is more beautiful. Also prefer rain over the snow/cold.
And by beautiful you mean filled homeless drug addicts and foreign money launderers.
@@basilperdikakis7627
And even higher rent.
I found Vancouvites a but stuck up and they kept asking me if we were there to steal their jobs. I told them if you want to work in Toronto apply for job if you have the skills you will get the job.
I mean yeah property is wildly expensive unfortunately
" You Call Unfortunate to a bunch a Crooks who are Overpricing Housing?
Does the what ever leave you feeling disappointed?
Canada as a whole is slipping. People in the main cities aren't as nice as you'd expect.
Thanks, NIMBYs!
Also, did those pollsters even bother to take a stroll down Kensington Market or Danforth during their Greek festival? (The spanakopitas on offer are delicious and reasonably priced!)
Justin Trudeau Canada’s most disappointing prime minister
you misspelled Harper
To be honest, that’s actually true- doe.
When you have Matthews as your hockey legend I can see why
lolol
id rather have mathews over miller tho
It's funny because there are videos on TH-cam of Canadians across the country dancing and celebrating the Raptors championship in 2019, bars from Vancouver to Halifax packed with people watching a Toronto sports team. You also see Canadians across the country wearing Blue Jays hats, funny how that works.
@@D95-d7y lol
@@LoneTurtle10 Its true though, every time I'm in say Vancouver or Montreal its pretty much a guarantee I'll see at least 1 person wearing a blue jays/raptors hat.
The second they leashed the police and started safe injection sites pretty much turned Toronto into a zombie state.
