I posted the "Toronto Sucks" song in the "Where in Canada?" Topic, so I thought I'd start a new topic here. If anyone has anything funny to share, I'd love to read it ^^
I got this in the email this summer, and being in Germany with almost no Canadians to speak of, it really made me laugh and feel closer to home :)

I live about a hour or so from Toronto and the only news worthy crime we had of the year only happened last week. But awhile back the area had a lot of fires from some arsonists.
i really love living in ontario, it really isn't that bad, i mean we experience 4 different seasons, not just winter and summer. A lot of history lives here, we are the most socially accepting people you'll meet, little racism and anti-homosexuality. You don't know a lot of french but you at least know how to ask where the toilet is. We speak american, and handle a lot of the american - canadian translations.
I love it here, and don't understand the hate...
