The World's Best Places to Live 2008

After three years of living in Toronto, I'm still shocked as why people rank Toronto so high. Go live in Toronto for awhile and then tell me what you think about:

1. Pollution 2. Traffic 3. Taxes

I'll stop here since I don't want to get all worked up.

People like Hogtown because it's like a mini New York. You get all the benefits of living in a "big time" city, but you can still have a house and a yard and live the suburban dream. (For now at least).

After being raised in Toronto and now living in Vancouver, via Calgary, I definitely prefer where I am now, with the exception of the rain.

Did we drop a place to 4th this year because of the 88-day garbage strike last year? Or is it the Unsolved Mystery Of The 5 Severed Feet Found Beached? Or is it the recent gang wars? Or...Surrey?

sorry Surrey. =)

Surrey should be apologizing to the rest of us, to be honest!
