I'll add that they're both great cities and Toronto is a wonderful city with plenty going for it. It's not my cup of tea personally, but I'd take it over most other cities. My main criticisms is that I find its suburbs especially depressing, everything's basically overpriced for what you're getting, it's scale is a bit dehumanizing, its architecture poor, and its urban planning ugly. It's still got great theatre, museums, jobs, traditions, diversity, streetcars, and some special parks to name a few pros.

There is nothing in the suburbs in most places but I guess it comes down to whether you are a city person or someone that prefers family suburb life (+ slightly cheaper rents/mortgage).

regarding the suburbs point... are u talking bout the city's inner suburbs? or the burbs around the city, vaughan, sauga...
how are mtl suburbs like and how are they less depressing?
Two different cities each with their own strengths and weaknesses... the choice is really based on what is important to the individual and not which one is "better"
I guess this can be said of all these insane city vs city threads lol
