This. Literally the only cities that don't get bashed on here are NYC, SF and Seattle

SF gets a fair amount of hate here, but not as much as LA. I don't think Toronto is even close to the most disliked city on CD. I think it's probably one of the big sunbelt cities or Detroit
Your opinions only, not fact ....other people's opinions may differ
I'm not saying you're wrong but Toronto is close to some very nice areas too, that most people from other places wouldn't know....like Muskoka or Algonquin Provincial Park, along with places more generally known, like Niagara Falls.
As for climate....looks like you ranked them just based on temperature, with Duluth in last place
due to being the coldest. Who knows, maybe some people might think Duluth has the best climate.
Colorado Springs climate imo (yes just imo) is not that fantastic,
it is at over 6000 ft above sea level, higher than Denver and colder than Denver
even though farther south. Colorado Springs suffers from extremely wild temperature swings
similar to Denver. Those crazy temp swings would drive me crazy, one day nice a warm,
next day cold and windy. Only really stable in summer.
And I have to correct my earlier post, the other Toronto is in Ohio, at WV state line,
Near where OH, WV, and PA meet, had the right area not right state.
I think I know what the OP is "testing" with this thread....
Algonquin Provincial Park is nearly 200 miles from Toronto. It's more than a 3 hour drive. The Muskoka Area is two hours away. How are these 'close to Toronto'?
Cloquet Valley State Forest is 20 miles from Duluth
Colorado Springs is 15 minutes from the Garden of the Gods and the Rocky Mountains
Providence is 1 hour from Cape Cod and 30 minutes from the Newport Beaches and Breakers
Niagara Falls is the closest Toronto has, but Niagara Falls is not a place to "get away from it all." It has more crowds than Toronto (and is incredibly tacky with casinos and Ripley museums).

Used to go camping to Algonquin park as a kid all the time. Not a problem.
On top of that there are the Thousand Islands, that was a fun summer too.
And of course Niagra Falls is a gem, but the surrounding areas are very nice too, Niagra on the Lake is a beautiful little town.

And I used to visit Orlando frequently. That still doesn't mean Orlando's "close" to Washington. BMI is trying to insinuate that Toronto borders unspoiled nature. In reality, one has to drive for 3 hours. Algonquin is hardly in Toronto.

Washington to Orlando is a 12 hour 800 mile drive.
False equivalency.
Algonquin is a mild road trip at worst, perfectly fine for a weekend camping trip. Not to mention there are many serene and beautiful nature areas along the way, from lakes to waterfalls to other provincial parks.
Algonquin is just the most popular among Torontonians.
You're not going to have a park the size of Algonquin "in Toronto", it is larger than all of Toronto in itself. If it was in the USA it would be third in size behind Death Valley and Yellowstone for Parks not in Alaska.

Going north of Toronto you'll hit wilderness way before you get to Algonquin Park.
