“Much of what is great about the city is accidental.” (@northtorontoguy)“I’ve lived all over Canada and Toronto is very disconnected. Montreal’s shift from global city to a ‘French-Canadian city’ was ‘one of those things that happened even before people knew it happened,’ according to Jane Jacobs. In the past seven days I’ve been to Luminato, the Pride parade, Toronto Fringe and the Toronto Jazz Festival. In Vancouver, we need to remember that Hong Kong money coming into the city helped us weather a recession fairly well. The city has an urban forestry department!” (Kapple)Ward’s Island, Toronto.
