Well, Jakill, those poor Unionville people wouldn't do well in Toronto. It's just the law of averages; you cram more people together and you get a larger concentration of both good and bad people. Odds are that the house, the car, and/or the invite would be absconded with or used in unsavoury ways. Goes the other way too, though. I've seen people endanger their own lives to run onto a road and help a fallen cyclist. That seemed pretty civic. Strangers do help each other out and communities look out for one another. Torontonians just seem more skeptical. Wow. Well, Jakill, those poor Unionville people wouldn't do well in Toronto.

This post takes me back a few years. I went up the tower when I visited Toronto way back. My daughter got her first nanny job in Unionville and the family invited me over for a visit. How about that? Then they went on holiday and left us the house to ourselves, their car, as well. Is everyone from Toronto as generous? Hi Patrick. This post takes me back a few years.

You have a mean sense of humor there and I love that also. Two for two so far. Now the pictures of your gorgeous city is just fantastic, although I think I got a little height sickness even sitting here in my chair. But overall I think you have a great site here and I'll definitely be back. jj Hey Patrick, Glad I came over to check out your blog love it!!

I like cities at night too. The whole place is man-made anyway, so artificial illumination suits them. They also take on a new character since the lighting now comes mostly from street level rather than above. And, of course, it's easier to find a place to pee when alleys are dark and hidden.

I actually went on 9/11 (this year) and not a single plane hit me, so I think it'll be fine. Besides, if your husband limits the way he lives his life based on fear then the terrorists have already won. I would go so far as to say that it's his patriotic duty to visit the CN Tower! He's not a commie, is he?! Thanks, Dianne.

Since 9/11, my hubby has refused to go back, but I definitely think my son needs to experience it soon :) Stunning pics :)) It's been about 8 years since I was last up the CN Tower, with my 4 y/o daughter.
