It's all right but the housing market is absolutely insane. I was paying 1600 CAD for a 50 sq ft apartment.

The public transportation was also awful. TTC is a joke. I also wasn't a big fan of the culture of the city. Lots of finance people and I also feel a lot of the hyper competitive status focused culture of the states has seeped in to Toronto.

I also have much more flexibility and vacation with my current job. 6 weeks vs 4 plus I can work remotely now though this is more of a function of the company I work for

I don't think anything is bad with Toronto per say (maybe housing prices), he explicitly said states, maybe life just pulled him to the EU

Pretty much this but there are some gripes I have with Toronto as I posted above

3 weeks vacation is the norm here.

Average rent is $2100. Average house price $750,000.
