Pros:
- Great variety of foods around here (I love Hakka!)
- Relatively "affordable" where you can afford a semi or detached home (albeit it'll be 100 years old with a smaller backyard)
- Great walkability to small markets, restaurants, breweries and Lake Ontario
- Sense of community
- Pretty good transit for North America (24 hour street car, subway line and a local rail within a 5 min walk)
- Bike lanes becoming more common
Cons:
- Generally cold climate means a short growing season for my victory garden
- Our salaries lag our southern neighbours
- The health care system is showing signs of failing under pressure
