Toronto is the best and worst city in Canada for all the right reasons. Saying fuck Toronto is one of the most complimentary things you could ever say about it.

In other words,

haters gonna hate. Also the Quebecois, they're all haters too.

Why?


We have so many wonderful, kind, considerate people.

We have a fairly low crime rate compared to other big cities in Canada (e.g. Edmonton), we have numerous social and cultural events, lots of sports teams (they all stink save the Argos), our TTC is still fairly good I'd say, and there's lots of fun and interesting other things to see and do.

That's why. :)

In all honesty, I'm just in denial, Toronto is basically that wannable in the corner of a party tryin' desperately to act as cool as his best friend Montreal.

I'm not talking crap, sir, I'm talking about statistics. I said Edmonton had a higher homicide rate - that is a statistic truth.

Winnipeg, however, is driven by its homicide rate, which was the highest of all of Canada's 33 census metropolitan areas (CMAs) in 2011.

Winnipeg was followed by Halifax and Edmonton.


Guelph had the lowest CSI value among CMAs for the fifth consecutive year, followed by Québec, Toronto and Ottawa.

Ok, I'll give you another reason.
Economics. Not only will USA have access to Canadian resources, but since the US has high unemployment we will be able to create jobs trying to extract said resources. This will result in economic development and investment for what was formerly Canada. As well as population boom.

Why would Canada WANT to become a part of America? Incompatible politics and I imagine that Canadians value their sovereignty. Not to mention it gives them someone to look down on;D
