Quote of the Day

"I'll never go back to ….Toronto. I can't stand it - the place drives me mad. I'm allowed to say this because I'm Canadian. I have friends there, I work there, but I find it really hard to like. I will have to go back there, but I wish I didn't have to. It's trying to be the New York of the Midwest. I much prefer Montreal."

- Singer Rufus Wainwright tells the U.K.'s Guardian

    I think most people who don't live in Toronto (and clearly some who do) hate it.

    Montreal for the win!

    This guy can go to HELL! Toronto is fantastic, multicultural, lively, full of fine arts, culture and great people! Artists love Toronto because it has big city vibe and down to earth Canadian charm! This guy (whoever he is) can eat shit!

  23. Sara says – reply to this

    Montreal is a great city and anyone who has ever travelled to both places (Montreal and Toronto) will tell you it doesn't even compare.
    Montreal has so much soul.
    Toronto is driven by business as oposed to Montreal being driven by diversity.
    I love Montreal and I would go back there in a heartbeat!

    Toronto is neither Mid nor West, he sounds dumb. Toronto is in the NorthEast in my opinion, I'm an upstate New Yorker and it is north of us, does anyone consider upstate New York the Midwest?

    DUH.

    I agree. Toronto sucks and tries way too hard. The city is a dump, the people are cold, its the most boring big city i have been to.

    Rufus knows what he's talkin' about! Montréal is much more creative!

    Has he ever lived in Toronto? Cause we don't say things like "midwest" or "mad" instead of crazy or . . . . "I prefer Montreal"

    I am both an ex-Montrealer and a Torontion and I have never heard of him! If he feels such distaste for Toronto he should go live in Montreal. Who the hell cares anyway!
