The city of Toronto, Ontario Canada is home to many talented individuals, innovators and creative inventions. Toronto’s pride and joy is its beautiful water front, sports teams and the new Ripley’s Aquarium, just to name a few. The city is filled with young ambitious individuals like street artists, mobile app developers, and designers.
Innovative concepts like tablet-based banking apps and food truck finding apps have come from the city of Toronto. Torontonians’ are willing to wax their chests in the middle of Dundas Square, conduct beer competitions in the streets, and host charitable Valentine’s Day soirees—all in the name of charity!
The overwhelming amount of Mayor Rob Ford scandal spoofing attire, memes and videos to come out of Toronto would be embarrassing if it weren't so hilarious. The city of Toronto is dynamic and constantly innovating. As Drake puts it, there’s nothing quite like 5AM in Toronto.
