Toronto is just concrete jungle and people

This statement is as ignorant as people in Vancouver saying Edmonton is the frozen arctic.
There is a ton of nature both within and outside of Toronto. There is a fucking fresh water lake a stone throw from core of downtown Toronto so huge that the naked eye can't tell the difference between it and the open sea.
And the cottage country from Toronto is more accessible than getting to the closest cottage country from Vancouver, which is either in Vancouver Island (I rather vacation in Yellowknife in February than have to take the ferries) or Kelowna. Whistler is just STD party town, it doesn't count. In between is a lot camp grounds, but then again Ontario has no shortage of that.

And what is the closet major city to visit in Vancouver? fucking seattle? In Toronto, visiting Montreal, Chicago, and New York are practical road trips.
