Yikes Toronto. I grew up there (immigrant parents first destination before moving down south) but despise it now for what it has become. An over expensive cesspool of the house owning NIMBY class with terrible traffic and disregard for driving rules or anything really that Canada I grew up in used to stand for like good manners. Lived in Syracuse as well before moving to the west coast. Don’t miss the snow or the cold. Only if there wasn’t so many wildfire.

It's actually even worse than that now. With the massive influx of immigrants recently, there are now 2+ families sharing one apartment. It's turning into the worst of the ghettos in many areas. Traffic is worse than ever. GO trains are fuller than ever.

Many people are escaping to Alberta. No respite in sight

Same here, lived in WA, CA and now NV (Reno).
