I don't live in Toronto. I live Oakville, Ontario (just outside of the city) and every time I go to into Toronto I see homeless people all over the place, sitting next to over flowing garbage bins. Some even have the signs asking for money. The worst time is when there is a big game at the Rogers Center or AC center. They all come over and sit on the sidewalk on the main area where people walk into the stadiums. This is very sad, and it is also honestly very uncomfortable walking past homeless people everywhere you go ... very depressing.
I feel embarrassed when I travel to other parts of the country. Since a person from BC has probably never heard of Oakville as it's not a major city, I feel embarrassed having to say I live by Toronto. I don't think Torontonians realize that people in other Canadian cities look down on Toronto, while Toronto residents never shut up about how "clean" and sparkling their pristine city is, with wonderful "friendly" people. I find that hard to believe
