>>>Most things in Toronto seem to be more expensive than other places - including taxes. It's unfortunate, but about the only time city city council takes its collective hand out of my pocket is to check another pocket. But I agree with you about the cultural diversity. It's an amazing thing, and it's alive. How can you not love it!

>>>Do you know, I've never been up the Tower (likely to stay that way too). I take it you didn't do the 'rim walk'? And yes, the underground is pretty incredible. Because of the subway being connected to it and to some apartment buildings and offices, there are people in Toronto who never have to wear a coat to go to work in winter or to go shopping at lunch time.
