Big City in Canada.
Lots of tall buildings, people & smog.
Usual big city, but it can get quite cold.
They have under-ground shopping centres, it's warmer.
& warmer means the folks will flock there.

However, it is very multicultural. I'm sure there is an Angolan population, there definitely are university students from there. As you can tell, we also have people with a weird sense of humour, if even the 1st two answers aren't from Toronto.

For diversity, Toronto has no rivals: over 100 languages are spoken and over 200 cultural groups are present, including the largest gay and lesbian community in Canada and third largest in North America.
Toronto had the highest incidents per ca pita in North America of SARS in 2003 because of it's large Asian population.
We have little branch communities like Chinatown, Little Italy, Greek Town, Little India...ect...
Toronto also has a very trendy and expensive beaches area with a grand boardwalk and lots of great little boutiques for shopping.
The people here are not racist as a whole and we love diversity! We even host a yearly event called "Caravan", where different cultures set up venues all over the city serving up regional foods, perform dances and sell cultural crafts and art. All you do is buy a mock "passport" as a pay one price and then you go around the city visiting all of the different cultural venues. It's like traveling from country to country.
Hope you enjoy living here!

Toronto is the most multiculturally diverse city in the world. I've traveled the world over and I've never seen even a close comparison. See the links for details.

Not good, with global warming most of the igloos are melting. Hydro has been sold to the USA so Cnn isn't functioning..The seal hunt has been cancelled due to poor sales of furs and we are forced to sell our children to terrorist groups. All able bodied people have moved to Alberta for jobs, so please move here as canniblism is our only option this winter.
