"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."

Never heard of him.
first
FIRTS!!!! Asshole!!!!!!!!!!!111
DoucheBAG!!!
what a douchebag
This guy was born in New York and spent this childhood in Montreal Canada…quell surprise, he prefers Montreal to Toronto.
Woo montreal!
midwest? Toronto ins't in the Midwest!!! LOL
I think most people who don't live in Toronto (and clearly some who do) hate it.
Montreal for the win!
VIVE MONTRÉAL ! MONTREAL is a great city!
I adore Rufus…but this makes me sad
I love my Toronto!!!!
xoxox
i live in toronto, and nearly everyone i know feels the same way.
montreal ftw!
what a douche! i love toronto, and i did like rufus until he made a stupid stereotype about my second favorite city…jerk
First?! I always thought of Toronto as the Paris of the Midwest. But to each his own.
U GO GUY!!!
MONTREAL IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
GO MONTREAL!!!!
ps: I agree with him!
Well, that wasn't nice.
toronto does suck…viva montreal!
what a snob, toronto's great. he has a lot of fans there he should shut up
yeah right buddy.. obviously you havent been in canada for a long time.. toronto is soo much better than MTL
This seems to be the opinion of much of Canada.
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!
YAY for Montreal!
Ummm I agree MTL is better buttt Toronto is NOT midwest….
Yeahyeah! Rufus is so right! TO is so pretentious, MTL is real.
douchebag - WHO ARE YOU anyway???
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!
he has such a good voice. listen to "the consort"
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.
Wanker……….
Who is this loser?
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!
….a place is nie to be….
who the shit is this guy anyway?
Has he ever lived in Toronto? Cause we don't say things like "midwest" or "mad" instead of crazy or . . . . "I prefer Montreal"
one less homo talented or otherwise won,t be missed kindly get the f out and go to a town that has already been burnt down;; a former fan
Haha!
Mtl Roooocks!
well it's true… i live in toronto and it IS very unlikable, montreal is much, MUCH nicer
hosebag. Who is he anyway??
TORONTO KICKS MONTREALS ASS!
who the fuck is this douchebag?
lol i love it! montreal kicks toronto's ass!!
could not agree more!!!!!
I'm sorry but who is this loser??????

Brandon-
Agreed. Toronto rules!
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!
