I would say this comment is accurate. I just moved to Toronto. The cost of housing is obnoxious and makes the overall cost of living extremely high, and unfortunately salaries don't make up for it. There is no doubt about that. And of course the traffic is horrible.

However, Toronto has everything Canada has to offer in terms of big city life. It's got the hustle of a global big city. It's has amazing food and entertainment. If you live in Canada and like big, global cities, then there's not much choice.

Montreal breasts Toronto in quality of life by a huge margin in my opinion.

I have to agree. Even if you don't speak French, there is less emphasis on money wealth, more on everyday important factors, and the city just has more history and is more relaxed without the money imperative injecting itself in everything. And there is a decent, diverse tech scene too, though language will be factor if you want to work locally.

I personally don't find the traffic that bad as someone who commutes from Mississauga to Toronto every day, but maybe I'm conditioned to think it's normal. What city are you comparing it to?
