For the past few weeks people have had tons of opinions of Toronto. For the most part they make complete sense. I am not about to get into the reasons behind all the “unwanted” publicity. Unless you have been living under a rock you already know. The one question I keep getting asked is “Why don’t you move back home with all the stuff happening in Toronto?”
Why don’t I move back home? I am home. What is so bad happening in Toronto? We have a situation with the mayor. That is hardly a reason to pack up and leave. It did however have me thinking. Like most of the people who call Toronto home, I was not born in Toronto. I was not raised in Toronto, but when I was twenty I packed up and moved to go to Ryerson. My parents had told me if I wanted to move to Toronto I had to have a reason. Fair enough. I always knew I would never leave this city and I didn’t.
Nineteen years later I am still here. My home is here, my life is here. Not for one minute do I regret my decision. Does it annoy me that Toronto is on late night TV, no I enjoy the humour behind it and it will eventually be replaced by something else.
It does annoy me when people have all these opinions on how much they dislike Toronto and they hate the traffic, the crowds, the noise, and they live in some tiny town 4 hours away.
Good then you don’t live here then and good thing I no nothing about where they live.
I love this city and this situation will pass and we can complain about something that no one will give a crap about around the world. The 2015 Pan Am games.
