Toronto is an amazing city. It is the financial center of Canada. It has over 140 recognized neighborhoods like Greek Town, Chinatown, and Kensington Market. English is the most spoken language followed by Cantonese and then Mandarin. French is 13th on the list.
There is a building boom in Toronto. There are more high rise condos being built in Toronto right now than in any other city in the world. Construction cranes blanket the horizon.
More movies are filmed in Toronto than in Hollywood. The city looks a lot like Chicago and New York so it is frequently chosen as the location for filming a movie about its U.S. neighbors. Large tax breaks and lower labor costs lure filmmakers to Toronto. It is not unusual to run across movie stars walking the streets of Toronto these days. Rumor has it that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in town filming this week.
There are over 23 kilometers of underground tunnels that link most major buildings and subway stations in downtown Toronto. When it is cold and snowing in the winter, office workers can move through downtown and shop and eat in hundreds of underground restaurants and shops.
