It's good that it's finally on the news:

It's a dire situation and the politicians, often colluding with the greedy who continue to inflate prices, are sitting on their hands watching their "value" grow.
For the rest, the only legal hope is the lottery.
For newcomers to Toronto, who are not coming with a couple million dollars in cash and a 6 figure job offer from a bank, be aware of the following articles from reputable sources:
- Foreign credentials are rarely recognized, or not at all.

I have met doctors who found jobs transporting patients or in call centers. They get tired, they leave, and they are replaced by other newcomers.
- Even local university graduates have issues finding jobs

More often they have to compete with people who come from outside and will take lower salaries for the same positions.
- Renting a place is severely not affordable, it will eat half of your salary or more

I'm guessing you suffer from sever rejection syndrome..no wonder.
There are 20K working girls in this city and you can bang a 9/10 hottie for couple hundo.
Quality of life in Toronto is VERY GOOD if you get with the program.
Do you call a city not good for living just because women don't pay attention to you? OMG! LOL
It seems you are having hard time dating a woman. Ok, well, it's not everything in life. Most people have their own families, are married or have a partner, so why should they make eye contact or smile at a stranger?
I believe people at Toronto are very respectful and rspect eachother's privacy.
Good Luck!
Believe me, you will have a much better life in Europe or Dubai or even staying in Kuwait. Maybe you are a hard working mid-eastern man like me, but even if you have everything in the world, Toronto women will destroy it and you will end up living in a shit neighborhood like me. Taxes are high and you can find much higher salaries out west or in Dubai or Luxembourg or even France. Don't believe the index.
Or just do everyone a favour and leave Canada.
Either way works.
I just need some updat about life in Canada actually we are planning to shift Canada,it's big decision for us because I amy leaving in Kuwait from past 20 years your kind suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks Ahsan
I live in Toronto for 32 years, toronto is not like any other city in the world, WE ARE THE BEST.
Toronto has people from every part of the WORLD, people from all background, colour, shapes, life style and culture, so Mr phillip, for us to get along very well with each other, WE HAVE TO RESPECT EACH OTHER PRIVACY,
we don't bother each other, we don't want to know your private life and we certainly don't want to know about your past, present and future. More over we are very apologetic too, hence you consider Toronto to be a boring place.
