I just read your message about so many conveniences not being available in Toronto, and I´m curious about your experience. Do you mind sharing a few more details? Thanks!
BTW: yeah, it sounds like TO is having a horrible summer, gun-wise. Hopefully this will force the Canadian government to crack down on gun smuggling from the US.

1 Convience I can say right off the bat, lots of stuff I find in the US are 24-hours. There is very very few stores across Canada that operate all night. McDonalds and Tim Hortons are mostly 24-hour operated. Aside from that, good luck.
I´ve been in the Greater Toronto Area for just over a year, Born, raised in Surrey BC the rest of my life. I´d move back to BC in a heart beat. This summer heat is disgusting as heck.
And to the person that said you don´t need to lock your doors in Naniamo, think again. Naniamo has one of the highest crime rates in BC. I wouldn´t trust anything there. (Which btw Departure Bay is located.)

auto stolen crime in Nanaimo is 700 cases annually,
surrey, 5000 annually.
which one is worse?
Sorry, I don´t know how did you get the impression that Nanaimo got the highest crime rate, I feel pretty safe. I never even heard anybody got murder these two years

in Canada, gun crime is big news because it is rare. same situation in US does not even make anyone look up.

That´s exactly right, Sharon, which is why I wanted to hear more exact details. Guns and summer heat are nothing new here, and I´m so used to feeling un-safe that I wouldn´t dream of going into a 24 hour place anyway. I´ve travelled quite a bit throughout Canada, and I read the Globe and Mail (and usually the Halifax Herald) pretty much daily, but I´m wondering about the impressions of a former American living in Canada. Of course living in a place is totally different than visiting, and I´m excited to find out first hand exactly how. For now, though, I´d love to hear other people´s experiences. Thanks to all who want to share!
