My realtor asks me, why I love Toronto and not buy in neighbouring city, I needed this video, to remember, how much I love Toronto, and how much of lifeline it is to me. ❤

As someone who lives and breathes this city, loved this video. Are there problems with the city? Yes. Is it growing? Yes. Is it boring though? Hell no, theres always something going on and that's what you get with a dynamic city like Toronto. I get it, a lot of people are frustrated but don't let those frustrated peoples voices deter you from seeing the good the city has to offer. Their situation is not yours either. If you can enjoy the city, you will enjoy it and don't let anyone tell you other wise.

I wish Mikael would do follow-ups to see how these cities have evolved a decade on.

Wow!!! I was born in Toronto, but have lived in South Fl for 30 years. This is so inspiring and I can’t wait to visit and hopefully witness some of these initiatives this summer! Thank you!!🙌

"Fear of change, fear of innovation" should be the slogan for Ontario as a whole.

As a Torontonian I really enjoyed this Man U really captured the true essences . I grew up in Kensington lol. Thai video was real Toronto energy for sure. A lot more to see but great video man!

[scarface]

[Coltoid]

Such a nice blast from the past, nice to see how far we have progressed since then.

Toronto has become a lot more bike friendly since this video.

[glitchpublishing]

[marksousa]

Thanks again, as a Torontonian we have a lot to improve on.

[chesterfieldjones]

If you're visiting Toronto, go to Kensington Market asap, as it's disappearing fast. Dave Meslin gestures to the mural "fruits and vegetables" that, 20 years ago, did symbolize the market. Not now. There is one food store left, used to be around eight. Everything is gentrifying, and it's sad. It's still a great city, overall, though there are increasing problems with drugs and homelessness and infrastructure. All that said, Dave Meslin is a treasure.

4th generation Torontonian and it is a great city. I believe our identity is a great multi-cultural city. We call them streetcars not trams. My mother used to call the subway the streetcar as it is and was such a part of our city.

Ahh, I see now ... this is a re-up from 2017, no wonder I recognized so much as outdated ... things change so quickly here.

[TMBpk]

When was this filmed? I’m one minute in and I was already questioning “how old is this video”. Some of the developments under construction at the time have already been built and those old streetcars were phased out. I’m gonna guess 2015?

I just love Scarborough. You know Mike Meyers was from there. Me, I'm a '90s neighbour to Scarborough from North York. Fairview Mall zindabad! Peanut Plaza was the most fun place to drive to! I will never forget those times.

[multipass]

Ahh...that's a bit of the Toronto I remember. These days keep that fence up or you will get broken into or worse. I wish we could go back to the days when this city was cleaner, friendlier, realistic and life was affordable...

[TheSharkasmCrew]

This is a re-upload, right? I definitely recall seeing parts of this before.

this was done pre covid, opioid homeless crisis did not make a dent yet.
