Toronto is the least-liked city in Canada, according to an online survey.
And in classic form:
Before Torontonians get all depressed, though, they should read a little deeper into the survey results.
Leger Marketing polled 2,345 Canadians and 19 per cent of them had a negative view of Toronto, but Montreal was a close second at 18 per cent.
See, they hate us, but they hate Montreal toooooo, nanananana
The comments on the story are far more entertaining, with Torontonians hurt pride and general *fuck you* on righteous display.

See, Toronto is world class! The SlutWalk spreads
Toronto police constable Michael Sanguinetti thought he was offering the key to rape prevention. “I’m not supposed to say this,” he told a group of students at an Osgoode Hall Law School safety forum on January 24, but to prevent being sexually assaulted, “Avoid dressing like sluts.”
Despite Sanguinetti’s subsequent written apology and promises of further professional training, the victim-blaming gaffe heard round the world sparked a movement that began in Canada but is now sweeping the United States and abroad: SlutWalks.

Shawn Micallef: Idiot of the Day
Shawn Micallef, whoever that is, pens an article, so mind bogglingly ridiculous in its breath....well listen to this:
In fact, one could argue that London and Toronto are on very similar paths—only a hundred years or so apart.
Umm ok, whatever.
And of course, we must be reminded:
First, Toronto is "a truly global alpha city".
Saying so don't make it so, but such pronouncements are par for the course here (We're special! We are, we are!)
He ignores that London is 2,000 years old, and actually tries to preserve its history, instead of bulldozing it away for yet another condo...oh anyway, do read this parade of nonsense...but try not to bang your head too much on the desk.
Believe me it won't be easy.

Toronto to World: Gordon Ramsay didn't pick us, WAAAAAAAAA!
Toronto is all out of joint because pseudo star Gordon Ramsay had chosen Montreal (shock horror) over Toronto for his first Canadian restaurant.
Cause you know the attitude in Toronto, you can go to another city...as long, and only as long as you pick Toronto first.
Other than that, Hell hath no fury...
So why isn’t Ramsay opening a Toronto restaurant, as he told CBCs The Hour in February 2009 he planned on doing?
“Toronto would be a dream, to be honest,” he said wistfully before his handler interjected to mark the conclusion of our short telephone interview.
Thus implying that Ramsay *really* wanted to go to Toronto, but his evil handler stopped him!!
Why, they even found a Montrealer who thinks Ramsey should have gone to Toronto.
Michel Ross, chef-owner of Mas Cuisine in Montreal, said Monday he hadn’t heard any buzz about a Ramsay invasion*.
“I have a feeling the Montreal restaurant crowd is not that star struck,” he said. “What’s really happening and busy in Montreal right now is smaller chef-owned restaurants. If you ask me, (Ramsay) should do something in Toronto — not Montreal.”
Oh the injustice, Toronto passed over of its rightful world class role as Canada's Only City That Matters™.
* Because people in Montreal don't know or give a fuck who Mr. Ramsay is. Montrealers enjoy good food, not watching psychotics attempt to boost their egos by shouting at each other making it.
Toronto though would eat it up.
