This above statement is true.
I'm born and raised Canadian and frankly I don't even know what it means to be Canadian anymore.
I feel like I am surrounded by morons and hypocrites every single day of my life.
For with God nothing will be impossible.
Luke 1:37

Don't be fooled by immigration lawyers who only want your life savings and hard-earned income so that you live in poverty in Canada. Poverty in cities of Canada like Toronto and Montreal are not healthy for your well-being and safety. Robberies, crime, murders, gun violence and drug addicts are like locusts in poverty areas of Toronto and Montreal. In Vancouver, it's segregated by wealthy Asians and drug addict homeless people on the streets of Vancouver.
Don't let a white Canadian fool you and tell you that it's like that all over the world. These same white Canadians would immediately be hired in Dubai for lucrative contracts, but a graduate from that area will not have their credentials recognized in Canada.
The white Canadian culture is either alcoholic Newfies or uptight urban liberals who support degeneracy, obscenity and anti-family values. It isn't healthy if you have young ones who will see nude white men or women walking in front of your lawn, and the local police in Toronto cannot do anything about it, and if you dare speak ill of a gay person or feminist who is in the nude, you can end up being charged for hate speech and hate crimes.
There is also paranoia and fear of men in Toronto because of the feminist movement. The majority of women in Toronto hate men. My suggestion is that if these landwhales show hate at you, respond with hate and anger. Toronto is a socially toxic city with toxic women!
Myself and My Wife earning a salary of AED 20000/- (CAD-6500/-) and living in Dubai (Basically Indian).I am into finance with 8 Years Exp and my wife into S/W Testing with 5 Years of Exp.Will we get a job in Canada.We are newly married and wish to migrate to Canada.Please advise.Is it worth migrating and in such a case how much should be our min Salary and which city should be the best to move in Canada.We are vegetarians and we dont drink or smoke.Please assist.)
Here's the answers to your query:
1) White collar jobs are totally out of the question for you. Please don't mind but I'm being very honest. Canadian employers simply disregards any previous experience that you have along with your educational qualifications if you are not in "I.T", Telecommunications or a very few other technical fields. You will have to start your life as a labour.
2)I am presuming that your CAD 6500 equivalent per month salary is all take home. Here even if you were by any chance able to get a salary close to that your take home salary will be close to CAD 4200 p.m.(minus taxes). This salary is enough for a couple to live well on but at the same level of luxury used to in Dubai? Forget it.
3) The minimum wage in Toronto is $14 where as the minimum "Living wage" required for a single person is almost $ 19. So even the full time working minimum wage employees are actually not able to live a decent life.
4) All the major cities in Canada are expensive to live in. Vancouver is the most expensive followed by Toronto and Calgary. The Finance capital of Canada is Toronto so according to your experience it would be your best option.
5) I migrated to Canada in my early forties as my son has Learning disability and some physical issues as well. That was my reason. If I didn't have that issue of my son not being able to live a happy life in India I and my wife wouldn't have left our fantastic jobs and moved over to Canada to end up as being second class citizens. So if you don't have any pressing reason enjoy your life in Dubai. I've worked in the middle east too and trust me life there is way easier.

> 5 months winter sucks don't lie
> winning sports franchises? like what?
> cost of living is unmanageable for most people
Life in Toronto in 1986 was very different than life in Toronto in 2017.
Good and bad. The only thing to complain about is the high cost of living. Car insurance and rent is ridiculously high.
I have grown to love and really appreciate what a good thing we have in Toronto after travels throughout the world. I am presently in Montevideo Uruguay, the most progressive, stable, safe, clean and wealthy Latin American country. It shares many of the advantages that Canada has, but still there are areas that Toronto excels, as in transit, cleanliness, access to a world of cultures and foods, four unique seasons, winning sports franchises and more. I am taken aback by all the whiners and complainers on this thread talking about everything except the costs of living. There must be better forums where you can complain about women, gays, rents, violence, sex education, Kathleen Wynne, Justin Trudeau and all. You people are an embarrassment to yourselves and your negativity is not appropriate on NUMBIO. In my 31 years in Toronto I was able through hard work and positive energy to open a company, expand it twice and retire at age 55 a millionaire.
I'm A proud thankful Canuck who was lucky in the birth lottery to be born in Canada.
Toronto women will make you hate life. Toronto women wish you were dead. Toronto women treat you like a criminal. Toronto women will falsely accuse you of rape.
If it helps, listen to Andrew on Nov 26, 2017 and get out of that feminist shithole of a city. No need to start a suicidal mass shooting and waste 25 years in prison. This will only cause feminists in Toronto to amp up their hatred of boys and men in Canada.
Every year on December 06, flags are lowered half-mast across Toronto to commemorate the deaths of those feminists that Marc Lepine supposedly murdered in cold blood 650 kilometres away from Toronto, because they were women, which is a total lie. They were feminists who caused Marc Lepine to do the crime because they discriminated against him because he was half-white.
I said it is very easy. I was very close to taking my own life many times during my divorce. Toronto Police are ultimate Blue Pill white knights who conducted everything legal and illegal in their actions to treat me worse than the worst criminal in the world, to the extent that Toronto Police raided my financial institution bank branches to intimidate staff to close my account and hand over my funds to a temporary court under asset forfeiture laws. My ex-wife used corruption from Toronto Police to enforce what was supposed to be a civil order.
During that divorce, Toronto Police made my life unbearable.I even had my loaded pistol pointed at my head just wanting the courage to pull the trigger. I changed my mind after I attended a Roosh rally last year in Mississauga. It was a relief to see men from all walks of life who were affected by radical feminism in Canada.
Anonymous wouldn't have taken his life if he attended an MRA or Roosh V meetup.
May God bless Anonymous soul and he’s no longer needing to fight but is in paradise with our savior. Anonymous wanted to meet his God of worship, and hopefully he is with God.
In the United States, while dwindling in numbers, there are still a few people who have the old revolutionary spirit of standing up for inherent, God-given rights and who have a good degree more common sense than your average Canadian.
Toronto, Canada is a social experiment playground for the New World Order. We have to be the most pliable and unwittingly suicidal people on the face of the earth. They flood us with immigrants from third world countries and we think it makes us "vibrant". They turn gender on its head and we think it's "progressive". They trumpet loudly the perceived rights of men who bugger other men (among other vile and stomach-churning practices, such as "rimming") and we cheer and celebrate.
To my fellow Canadians, I have to ask, "What the hell is wrong with you people?"
Toronto is a shithole of a city.
Get a life, and maybe don't complain about your love life on a page about cost of living.
If men are paying more than C$1,050 for a Bachelor pad anywhere within the boundaries of Toronto, they need to get out....C$999/month for a bachelor unit located at the crime infested Black Creek area?
The problem with Toronto is that they encourage mass immigration, but they don't construct enough housing to meet the population growth.
At least 35 million people live in the affluent state of California, but you wouldn't see anyone pay more than US$550,0O0 for a bungalow size detached house in party towns like Malibu.
You have insane housing costs relative to other American cities, intolerant women and a culture which hates men to suicidal despair....Where can I sign up to live in Toronto if I hate life? LOL.
Why do Toronto culture cause men to harm themselves like that?
Unless you aim to live paycheck to paycheck in Toronto in a run down part of Toronto for at least $1,200 a month for a 1-bedroom apartment, I'm not sure why you would choose to live in Toronto out of all places in North America when everyone in Canada wants to live in the USA...Are you a feminist or LGBT member fleeing from Donald Trump?
hxxp://zdatingcoach.com/the-10-worst-cities-to-seduce-women/
Toronto is still ranked #1 worst city in the world for men in 2017 almost five years after roosh's post.
I’m not even sure why white supremacists read articles about black people if they rather degrade and bash them even further. Toronto is being gentrified and I’ve seen it. I’m seeing it every day. They build up a Starbucks or a high priced cafe and suddenly people come around like ogling spectators and once again (Like with Native Indians) we’re all supposed to move out and leave because privileged white men and women found something else they could steal.
Toronto was always a safe zone for POC. I just don’t understand why with everything else they’re given, why white men and women feel the need to claim ownership to something as precious as culture.
Not sure how this issue is going to be solved but I hope it does. It’s not like we’re about to run them out of their homes or anything. Wear white hoods, sit on top of horses and leave burning crosses in their yards. That would be animistic. That would be barbaric…savage. Don’t you think?
If Linda think it's oppressive to criticize a white female pedophile who aims to show her private genital areas in front of children, then I'm moving out of Toronto....I don't feel safe with these racist white people and their alliance with the feminist movement.
You're just mad because you don't have money and can't get women. Go fuck your family goat.Go back to where you came from. We don't need you here. Seriously, fuck off and leave our women alone!
I hate you fucking muzzies and paki rapefugees and catcalling niggers. I wish Donald Trump could deal with you fucks in Toronto.
Women stare into their smartphones and treat all men as if they were rapists or trash, for no good reason, other than their hatred for masculinity in this city. Women in Toronto are just mean and spiteful towards men, I think most women in Toronto just HATE men period. And a good percentage of them are Lesbians and they DO hate men. That's why they want to march at their rallies fully nude for luring minor children.
Us Toronto guys spend all day raping and harassing women.
I never said you owe anybody anything, or that we want to force you to do anything.
All I'm saying is this city would be more lively and enjoyable if women like you would just lighten up and stop pretending that the world is victimizing you.
Because that’s what they are, a cancer on this beautiful planet.
The common discussion theme centres around how women in Toronto are given all the management opportunities and the non-Canadian males get no chance for advancement at all.
Basically our male salaries are being siphoned away in order to pay uneducated and just plain stupid and non-productive Canadian women wages much higher than they deserve.
After reading this thread now I tend to view all Toronto women as lying wh*res. I’ve always felt that way to some extent, but now more so than ever.
They want to claim their independence, yet they rely on affluent men for advancement in their careers. They won’t admit it of course, but that’s how it is.
There is no vibrant vibe to the city, no smiles, laughter, no random meetings going on. The men just walk by the woman and the woman pretend to ignore the guys, lol.
One of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a while. Feel sorry for the guys in Toronto that grew up here. Toronto men, leave this city as soon as possible. Attractive self-motivated men should stay the hell away from here. Toronto females hate men. They hate men and they are no good…You will not find a happy life in Toronto.
I'm an architect, and a moroccan woman who is willing to move to canada this year. I speak english and french, I still didn't choose yet between Toronto and Montreal. but, I'm afraid to go to montreal with all my respect to french speakers, maybe i will not get used to it. Toronto, is a big city, where there is a lot of international companies.
What do you advise me?
I like friendly, nice, approachable girls and life in a clean city. It looks, by all, the wages are too low and crime is high.
To guys who have trouble with girls, why not move out or bring a decent Asian or other girl? Is it so dire you can't afford even that?
In terms of the misogynistic comments, these sound like things that some entitled unsuccessful men say to women. Why are people jealous of people who worked their butt off to get a decent career? of course they would also want someone that has the same ambition and can pull their weight to pay off those insane mortgages.
There are more women hired in certain careers because a lot of men don't want those jobs. It's because they're out to get you because you're a man. This is so pathetic, honestly.
At a young age, I moved from Ontario to B.C. then Alberta and finally to China for about 10 years.
During these 10 years, I learned a lot as China held values that were pretty much the complete opposite of what I have been taught in Canada. Over that period of time, I learned to reach middle-ground and try to understand people rather than criticize or judge. It wasn't easy in the least! There were some points I thought I was losing my mind. Anyway, I came back to Canada to Ontario... and I found something I hadn't recognized so much in the past.
Women were obviously in control and MANY seemed to relish abusing this new found power over men. I can't say I blame them, being on the losing end for so many years but it was VERY obvious that the government supported the women over the men with new laws and regulations that supported females more than males. I can't support this movement as I always try to move towards equality in a relationship. That doesn't seem to be the popular vote. When I visited Toronto, it was obvious that women held a higher status and demanded much from men.
I had cable guys weeping while setting up my internet because their woman and step-son didn't appreciate them. How can this be? He was a working man and stepped in to help this woman and be a father to a fatherless boy. Yet, he was treated like a disposable Q-tip.
There were many more examples. I decided to leave Ontario. I suggest you do so as well.
For those that are frustrated, I advise you to leave Toronto and Ontario in general before you harm yourself or act out. Alberta and B.C. have nicer people with better living conditions. I would recommend Calgary, Kelowna, Vancouver or Victoria.
It is not sexism when one is concerned that their seven-year-old son or daughter will be learning about "anal fluid" from their teacher under the Ontario Sexual Education Programme which was proven to have been influenced by convicted pedophile Ben Levin. Refer to Rebel Media or Toronto Sun to access the e-mails for proof. If a seventeen year old cannot be allowed to purchase a lottery ticket in Canada, then how the hell did those sex-obsessed teachers come up with the idea about talking pornographic sexual matters to seven-year-old students in elementary school?
But dont worry. Federal Canada is gonna become bankrupt very soon, even when Ontario is under billion dollar taxpayer fraud under that Bi-sexual pro-Levin leader Kathleen Wynne. And with the new gov out of control spendings under Justin Trudeau, This effect will even happen sooner. For once they would not be able to give false reviews about it because it will no longer be a small Toronto, Ontario has no room for free thinkers.
They've made that clear. Just travel and have your life/fun outside of Toronto/Greater Toronto Area while the value of the Canadian dollar is still stable with the USD in mid-70s range for now. The Canadian dollar will go lower than 65 cents if SHTF under Trudeau, causing extreme inflation. Toronto housing is very costly & there aren't that many jobs in Toronto which pay over min.wage. Don't come to Toronto if you aren't offered a job before landing in Canadian soil. You will regret that decision. Canada is not as entrepreneurial & ambitious like the States. Migrate to the USA for your dream job because you're not going to find that job in Toronto.
P.S. The Ontario Sex-Ed curriculum was drafted by that convicted pedophile Ben Levin. Don't lie to defend those sex-obsessed teachers in Toronto.
It's fortunate for young people and not a surprise to me that you haven't managed to find a teaching position. The new sex-ed curriculum was written by teachers, not Ben Levin (who left the Ministry of Education years ago) and has been approved by focus groups consisting of parents and educators. Your misrepresentation of the facts in your homophobic, racist commentary indicate your how eminently unsuitable you are for the teaching profession.
I feel sorry for the unfortunate children who have to deal with you in your substitute teacher role.
Please find a different job to do. Teaching isn't for you and no doubt the people who interviewed you have detected that.
You will be extradited to Toronto to stand trial if the police find out where you live. The RCMP will arrest you in your home in that third-world dump in Asia to carry you to Toronto to be imprisoned for criminal hate speech. Do not hate on our women you basement dwelling loser. Get a f*cking life & cease the vile comments about our women.
You chose the wrong blog to post your sexist, anti-child rights, anti-Semitic and misogynist viewpoints about our great teachers who educate our future in the Toronto District School Board. The Toronto District School Board is the largest school board in Canada, and it is the best school board to educate your son or daughter. The TDSB respects and tolerates diverse sexualities and discrimination against gender will be reported to the police.
I'm calling the authorities on you to have you investigated for hate speech and criminal defamation. This hatred and misogyny of female inhabitants in Toronto must stop, now. The TDSB will have to investigate each post which contains vile misogyny and hate of women rephrased in an anti-sex, and Puritan tone concerned about delusional fears that Grade 1 students are harmed when learning about safe and natural sexual education from a teaching professional. You right wing lunatics need to be in prison.
If I knew how the TDSB operates maybe I would have upgraded and gone for the Law degree instead of the teaching degree.
The TDSB now wants to implement Ben Levin’s version of Sex-ed that Grade One 6-year-olds will be learning from their teacher about the topic concerning anal intercourse. In Grade Five, anal intercourse will be taught in more depth and stink. I still don’t understand with all of these teacher scandals involving underage sex with their students would talking about anal sex inhibit any more incidents of child molestation in the TDSB.
Parents can expect state interference when it comes to moral values, parenting, and education—and not just in school. The Ontario Liberals state has access into your home to supervise you as the parent, to judge your suitability. And if convicted child pornographer and suspected child molester Ben Levin doesn’t like what you are teaching your children, he will use Kathleen Wayne to attempt to remove them from your home by force from militarized police.
Kathleen Wynne wants to force your children to learn about anal sex and carpet munching from a very young age. They don’t call Toronto the Femi-N4zi and Gay Mecca for nothing...
But if you're an immigrant with over ten years of international professional experience who just arrived from the airport with only a few grand in your name with no job offer or "Canadian experience" to apply for a job, I hate to say it, but you made a huge mistake. The feminists who dress in revealing clothing and see-through yoga pants to work are making more money than the average worker doing the same job in the private sector.
Now, you're life savings is going to be wasted to funnel the salaries of those bureaucrats. You just got scammed by the Canadian immigration lawyers and Canadian government! They, the government job agencies, will tell you in Toronto to do free work to earn "Canadian experience" or even tell you to use your money to go back to school to increase your chances of employment in a job which pays at least over the $12/hr minimum wage.
I hate to say it but you should rather use that school money to gamble on Lotto 6/49 because the chances are higher to earn money!
Toronto is a scam!
The bad part is that these Toronto women travel to other cities and countries to spread their misandry. Toronto women are the worst aspect of Toronto. They would not hire you if you are a man.
Toronto has absolute trash for it's transit system, that is about 50 years behind the transit systems of most other large "world-class" cities around the world. Delays, subway jumpers and closures are almost every day occurrence. And the fares are way too expensive. Get a car? With the feminists that Toronto currently has for "leaders", getting a car and keeping it running is way too expensive.
While the housing prices in Toronto are one of the most highest in the world because of money laundering from corrupt countries parking illegal money in the housing market in Canada. There are many crime infested slums that are way past their due for any development.
Problem is that most of the people in the city are poor as fuck. When the majority of the population cannot afford to live in better neighborhoods, the places they live in remain a slum. These slums are mostly composed of concrete jungles that were built decades ago and maintained marginally up to city's code. Rents do increase by 3% per year, but not enough to make improvements that will change the fact that the buildings still look like a concrete jungle. Most of the city are impoverished slums with the poorest people around.
And the women of Toronto are one of the most disgusting group of people to inhabit this planet. They worship money and feminism. They all chase the wealthy knight in shining armor and horse, anything less are animals to them. The women of Toronto mostly have way over valued sense of self worth. When the fat and unattractive land-whales think they are 'beautiful", what will the actual half-decent ones think about themselves?
The women chase the upper 1% of men who are money launderers, criminals and rich, the rest of 99% of men are considered as peasants. The women will use the 99% of the peasants to buy themselves expensive items like Hermes bags and Jimmy Choo shoes. When the peasant they are using run out of money, the Toronto woman will go to the next peasant with more money.
Life is not good for hardworking people in Toronto.
The women in Toronto are no good.
You got that right.
It's incredibly difficult for me to leave Toronto permanently because my life savings is at its last dollar, and my career failed to launch making me lose my network connections overseas.
I've been working in a factory for several years in Toronto when I was working in prestigious jobs overseas.
I'm going to be in my 40s soon, but it's not easy for me to leave Toronto and as racist Canadians say "go back to where I came from".
I would like to hear you elaborate on the bad omen part. I think Toronto is cursed too mentally, emotionally and socially.
The city also feels like a police state oppressing people's minds. There was news recently about a unionized Professor who is in deep trouble because he doesn't intend to conform to the thought police culture in Toronto.
I believe that Toronto has no culture, and it is because of the thought police. Ethnic enclaves in Toronto are only viewed as unique and multi-cultural, but as a male, I am not welcome to those enclaves because the ethnic enclaves are just Canadians who adopted foreign culture but they retain the bad elements of Canadians and their racist, xenophobic hatred of foreigners.
If I could turn back time, I would never would have moved to Toronto. I am going to try and save more money to move out, but I'm afraid that the corrupt government in Ontario will increase hydro fees and expenses to reduce my savings, or that the already low Canadian dollar will cause inflation, eroding my savings and increasing my expenses.
Canada is a trap for ambitious straight men. I can only pray that the Canada dollar doesn't go below 70 cents to the $US, or for the corrupt Ontario government to not increase hydro fees and the cost of living. I want to move out from this devil hell city Toronto.
You no calculate salaries. and cost of rent.
Take salaries, minus price of 1 bedroom out of center, you will have left in Toronto $1700 in Warsaw $500.
Gasoline is chipper in Toronto, cars too, dresses too. Cost of coffee, cook and other restaurant things are same.
Spending for food twice more then in Warsaw, you still have $700 left, in Warsaw, nothing left.
If Gasoline and clouding prices will let you buy enough food in Warsaw.
Beautiful place to live and work.
I can only imagine want negative comments this will generate, but keep your heads up high Toronton.
The upside of the Adam Johnson sentence is it was so high-profile that now people have a direct comparison to make when they see all these female teachers getting away with it when they have sexual relations with students inside their classrooms, and realize that female rapists are being protected solely on the basis of their gender.
It's about time we grab our guns and start defending our children from these female paedophile teachers & their militant feminist enablers...Wait a minute...Canada doesn't have self-defense laws..Too bad..Your country is F*cked with the feminist propganada and militant feminism from Toronto.
At least, here in the United States of America, we don't have so much female lunatics running around entering the teaching profession solely to f*ck the students. If we do find out, we have our free speech and guns ready to protect ourselves from these paedophile teachers should they abuse the legal system to violate our civil rights.
If feminists in the USA tried to pull a Gregory Alan Elliott trial on us, we would hear on the news how somebody shot those feminists to death in self-defense, and we will cheer on and rejoice because we don't like feminists who stamp on our freedoms.

1) they will not keep you on par with their own people , you may not be eligible for your profession , you may have to pass exams & study , and people with no experience and less qualified then you ( but who have studied there and receive benefits because they are "women") will be ahead of you. No matter how good you are in your field/profession , you will find few openings and the female HR will not hire you due to lack of Canadian experience and racist bias......be ready for 3-5 years of catching up to get yourself equated to "Canadian standards ". Women in Toronto have the right to come to a professional job wearing lingerie and showing cleavage and ass cheeks, but you are not given any rights to a fair job. Take that in mind.
2) it makes perfect sense for a person who is still struggling to get a good job to go there , but if you are a professional in another country... well take ur decision..Either you pick up trash for minimum wage and become unhappy in Toronto while the female teacher comes to class flaunting her breasts and ass cheeks to her students and receiving extravagant pay for her "job".

Notice how in cases in which the adult sexual predator is a female, the articles use words such as above "having sex" or below "having an affair" and not sexual assault. If this had been a 31 year old male who sexually assaulted a 13 year old female, the sentence is typically more. In addition, sentencing a male perpetrator to at least 2 years in prison would put the prisoner in federal penitentiary.
Mary, today that would be a typical action from those so defensive or being apologists. But that really is CENSORSHIP. Be thankful there are those who speak of the truth. They're just calling it as it really is. Sometimes you need that and people like that, in order to fix problems or to progress even more. Don't be an apologist and don't wear rose-tinted glasses. It's very costly.
bottom line is this..the city is way over priced..you have to be a idiot to spend 700k and up to live here. and all the women that look good here are from another country, not toronto, so lets be real. the world is a big place and there are a lot of nice places in the world that can match the quality of life for less money..put some stamps in your passports and find out"
This is the truth.
People are heads down however because the cost of being socially ostracized is very high here.
If you have the wrong opinions in Toronto regarding feminism, multi-culturalism, globalism, etc., you can lose your job and career prospects.
This isn't the US where debate is encouraged. In Toronto you either go along with academia's globalist agenda, or you are kicked out of the public sector where all the secure jobs are.
Entrepreneurism is also very difficult in Toronto due to the high cost of living and high taxes.
Combine this with the constant feminist propaganda and it's a pretty bad place for any masculine single man looking to get a life started. Particularly if he doesn't have an ethnic niche to fall back on in this multicultural society.

Toronto prides itself on its multiculturalism and I think that's one of the things that make Toronto so beautiful. When I grew up, I was one of the only Canadians in my group of friend's whose parents were also Canadian. We are in general very tolerant people and like to travel, eat ethnic foods, and learn about other cultures.
If you're looking to immigrate to Toronto- or Canada in general- I would say that it will be a great way to move to another country and not feel completely foreign. Without a doubt you'll find a group of people from your home Country if you want to reminisce about home. You will easily find other foreigners who know what it's like to live in another country.
I am assuming that many of the negative comments about Toronto are from people who have only lived in Toronto their whole lives. If you have traveled to another country- it's not the same as living in another country. Regarding the comment about men of Toronto vs. men of Italy, when I was in Italy I felt awkward with the men calling out to me. I have some Italian girl friends who still live there and they tell me often that their men are chivalrous at first but after marriage they feel like their husbands want their wives to just serve them.
Everything you read on this page you'll need to take with a grain of salt. The best thing to do is to go to the city, see what it's really like.
I'm planning to move back to Toronto in the next year or so and I couldn't be more excited.

Thanks for posting that article about how women prefer to be treated as women in Europe.
I was raised with Western European roots and I always enjoyed looking out for women growing up.
As much as this woman would love for Canadian men to behave with more chivalry and romance similar to European men, this can only exist if there is an incentive of some kind for the men to behave this way.
Women in Europe are very different culturally than the women of Canada, or more specifically Toronto.
If you behave as a man with chivalry in Toronto you will be made into a public joke... Or worse be accused of harassment.
In Toronto there is no culture of flirtation or innuendo as there is in Europe or in most parts of the world.
Other cultures have established rules for how men and women are to relate and understand each other. There is an acknowledgement that men and women are obviously different. In Toronto men are rapists and women are victims, but somehow everyone is equal and differences are only sociological.

just to provide some more perspective about the practical legality of marijuana in Canada.
Argentina legalized marijuana any adult can buy and smoke, the weed is also real cheap about $1usd/gram. but here is the kicker you are only allowed 28grams per month, after that they force you to go to rehab. that is the Argentinian model for marijuana legalization.
in Canada if you have less than 30grams in one bag that is simple possession not trafficking and is viewed as a huge waste of time by the court system. if a cop were to find you possessing less than 30grams, he would throw that weed back in your face, then the cop will get mad at you for not having cocaine and wasting his time, and finally be told to go home with the weed in your pocket.
yep marijuana is only theoretically illegal in Canada
if you are not aware trudeau's marijuana legalization policy will create lcbo (government monopoly liquor stores) type stores to sell the weed and the price will double to about $20/gram
i say keep weed "illegal" still because i can carry less than 30 grams on the street an not go to jail. if trudeau wants to "legalize" and raise the price to $20/gram i really dont mind paying $10/gram then. just leave the laws they are now because for all intensive purposes marijuana is practically legal and only theoretically illegal.
if you are not yet aware Canada has elected Justin Trudeau as the prime-minister. so what does that mean for a prospective immigrant? for one the economy will go into the shitter for the next four years. he was elected in late October and the Canadian dollar was around 95cents usd and since then the Canadian dollar took a sharp nose dive back into the Chretien years (really bad economic times in Canada) and is now about 69cents usd. economist are forecasting that the dollar could fall to about 50cents usd!!! So if the Canadian dollar hits that low then that would be the worst economic times Canada has faced in atleast my lifetime.
Trudeau's election campaign was the most incoherent i have ever seen and i didn't know what he was talking about at all except for when he said he wants to legalize marijuana. so basically his whole campaign was a bunch of charismatic jibrish and legalize marijuana. i cannot say that i don't like the idea of legalizing marijuana since i smoke everyday, but you know what i do need more than the chronja, its food after i smoke and going to the grocery store recently im already noticing sharp price hikes on meat and produce.
so Trudeau got elected with charismatic jibrish and the promise of legalizing marijuana, essentially canada elected Ashton Kucher to be the prime-minister and Canadians will be hit hard from the effect of the falling loonie soon
Me and my husband are both from Ukraine and faced no problems with evaluating our education or finding a job here. To be honest, living here is far more easy in comparison with Ukraine or Russia. Maybe this explains a lot of garbage in comments because you have a time for writing them here.
None of you really gives an advice to people who are asking a few questions about living here, you're constantly creating only a monotonous flood that women here are all sexist etc. Simply they are not.
You'd better while something helpful or stop wasting a time of people who are coming here in seeking for information or advice.
So if someone wants really neutral impressions about the city (with all information starting from rent prices, quality of life or culture) - please, do not hesitate to write me on my e-mail (yuliia.vasiuchenko@gmail.com) and i'll try to help you as much as I can.
I am Chartered Accountant from India. I want to move to Canada with family.
please let me know the opportunities, cost of living.
While rent here is crazy, and the TTC is overpriced, other prices seem fairly typical compared to what I've paid in other parts of Ontario. Half the time gas is cheaper downtown than it is in the burbs.
As far as the people here, I found it pretty easy to meet people and build a circle of friends. It's changed over the years as I've worked and lived at different places, but I'm still in touch with people I met 20 years ago. And if you do most of your errands on foot in your own area, you'll get to know people and feel like "part of the neighbourhood" pretty quickly.
There are a lot of haters out there, but most of them have never lived here, so take it with a grain of salt.
is toronto expensive in estate sales?
is toronto's education well for kids?
how is it like in toronto i mean by ppl life etc.
Defending the professor or whatever that supposedly showed her titties to the class.
There are quite a few documented cases of weird sexual shenanigans going on with Ontario's public servants...
Female teachers having sexual relations with underage students... Male representatives taking part in kiddie porn rings.
Lol Canada represses itself so fucking hard no wonder so many people are turning into sexual deviants.
Wasn't Kathleen Wynne's co-representative discovered to have been a part of a child pornography ring and is now in jail?
And now Wynne is forcing a new curriculum for students with major changes to the way sex-ed is taught?
Let that sink in for a second.
Toronto is supposed to respect diversity right? We're supposed to let the people mingle and express their unique cultures right?
So why the fuck are the people we're paying in tax-dollars making the decisions about how to teach sexuality to our kids?
How do all the Chinese immigrants feel about that? Or maybe the Muslim immigrants?
Considering all the controversy it seems quite a few people think it's bullshit that the government gets to raise everyone's kids while we're busy working to support this system.
Toronto requires double-think for it to make any sense. You have to abandon any sense of how things logically connect.
You have to forgo what you think of as right and good in order to make the sunshine list government employees happy.
It's interesting to see for how long the ponzi scheme that is liberal Canada will last.
#Greater Fool Fan is right on his posts...
It's difficult to find gainful employment here.
And he's right about spending $800 a month to live with criminals...
I lived in a place like that all summer to save money (yes you read that right...) only to realize that the people I was living with were drug addicts (e.g., cocaine, mdma, etc.) and criminals.
I wasn't scared for my safety but it was a very depressing atmosphere. Not the best place for a young person working their butt off to be able to go to graduate school.
Greater Fool Fan's point that hard work is not respected here is the simple truth. I don't know why the social atmosphere of Toronto has become so disjointed but it has. It's a decent place if you have work lined up and you're comfortable staying within your own ethnic niche, but if you're coming here alone expecting opportunity, do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.
A buddy of mine is going to teach English in South America early next year, and it's understood between us that he's never coming back.
