Frankly, nowhere in NW area in the City of Toronto would be my cup of tea either. The people are much more pleasant and hospitable and community oriented on the outer fringes of the city. Places like Ancaster, Burlington, Oakville, Aurora etc would have alot more appeal to somebody like yourself than living in the 416.

P.S. You probably don't say "butter." You say "butta."
Erm ..... Actually I do say "butter" The longer I am over here, the more British I become!

There is a roundabout on Niagara Parkway near the Floral Clock. They are also going to build one on Mountain Road in Niagara Falls. Ontario has finally seen the wisdom of the roundabout.

Maryland has a lot of roundabouts now. They call them traffic circles in the U.S.

The context of my reply makes your reply unnecessary and rather silly.

Interesting how there seems to be an increasingly vocal crowd of online bloggers and posters on boards such as this with people totally disillusioned with life here, though I think the overwhelming majority are people that live in the Toronto area.

I hated it too.. till I moved to Bowmanville. Now I see the REAL Canada, and I love it. F**k Toronto and most of its suburbs (excluding some in the Eastern GTA). You couldn't pay me enough to move back.
