    You don’t freeze in either city in
    June and July.

    Heat and humidity the problem.

    First of all, Montreal is the best city for night-life and women in North America, not just in Canada. Most of the strip clubs in Montreal are run by biker gangs. As for the food, you could find nice restaurants as well in Mtl. Toronto is the financial hub of Canada, mostly multi-cultural city like London.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. I live in Toronto. Toronto is world renowned for it's diversity and food.

    Montreal is okay but they are very anti-english speaking there and do not like Americans.

    Toronto is friendly and very diverse, Montreal is in Quebec which is the most hate-filled racist part of Canada.

    Toronto > Montreal.

    Montreal is one of my favorite cities besides Vegas. I am only two hours away but don't get out there often enough.

    Just walk around St Catherine's Street. Good bars and restaurants on St Laurent as well as closer to downtown on Rachel Street and others.

    Montreal is very friendly and models after the European culture. You'll run into some stubborn French residents who will snub you if you don't speak french but whatever.

    I lived in Toronto for 5 years and blah. Good to visit, not my cup of tea to live there. 24/7 traffic, everywhere. A little too diverse for my liking. Lots to do and see at all hours of the day downtown. Jays games, Ripley's Aquarium right beside the CN Tower and Rogers Centre. Bunch of museum's and stuff if you're into that.

    Good stuff guys appreciate it. Taking my teenage son who’s never been out of the country and we already have plans for CN tower, Jays game and he’s trying to get me to take him to a Drake concert since he will be there while
    We are there at the beginning of August.

    He’s trying to get me to trek up to Quebec City. Still deciding. He’s into history and would love a strip club but a little young for that hahaha

    Many fortune 500 companies would like to have presence in Toronto, including Amazon who wanted Tor as one of their HQ options.

    Toronto is home to some nice hospitals - Sunny Brook, Mt.Sinai and Sick kids - too. Some consider Toronto Sick kids as top-20 hospital in the world.
