Will you forget about Toronto already???

Toronto isn't the only place in Canada where people live.

Fuck. It's no wonder everyone else in Canada hates Torontonians. It's like you guys think you're the only ones in the whole goddamn country.

It doesn't make sense to get angry at this. The topic is density, Toronto is one of the densest cities in Canada. Toronto will be a central role on the topic one way or another, like Vancouver naturally will too (and is even mentioned in the article)

I understand.

What I'm trying to say is that increasing density isn't a good solution.

We need to spread out across Canada. Give people the opportunity to move to other locations. Like in the US. They have so many cities to live in where there's tons of jobs. Not everyone has to cram in, say, New York for example. People can choose where they want to work and live.

I see. I sincerely hope that Canada doesn't meet that expectation of yours, because I too believe that increasing density is cities is essential. Of course so in big cities, but in smaller cities as well, and that too would help creating more economic opportunities in more places.

In context, the focus on Toronto as an example makes sense.

Give the guy a pass this time.
