Been there quite a few times for business. Go play golf in Acton at the Canadian PGA course and Devil"s Pulpit is good. I also played the course where they used to always play the Canadian Open (the name escapes me). I have also been to several Bluejay games. The traffic in Toronto is amazing. 4 million people and they are all on the road at one time.

Have fun.

BTW: If you go to KFC and ask for potatos and gravy, you get fries with gravy. they don't sell mashed potatos.

Been to Toronto & Richmond Hill area...but I'm afraid I can't suggest anything..it's been awhile....I do remember how clean Toronto is. And people are real friendly. It's one of those cities you can walk around at night and not be afraid. They were just building the Blue Jays stadium (whatever it's called) when I was there. I could live there if it wasn't so cold.....my knuckles start crackin' and bleedin' at 60 degrees....

Just remembered another thing...if you're going there for work, better check to see if a work permit is still required in Canada. Not sure if it's still this way, but as my two co-workers and I were leaving the baggage claim, there was a dude sitting at a desk and picking folks at random to go to another room. Of course, me being the youngest, handsomest, and most gullible looking of the three, I got chosen. My co-workers were not allowed to follow me. They had me in a room for almost an hour questioning my business there. They asked if I had permission to come to Canada and work. I said no. They tried to make me pay for a permit on the spot. I told them my company (TI...which stands for Tiny Income) did not give me any spending money....I was lyin'....So, then they asked me if I had any personal credit cards....course, I said no....I can't remember, but I think they were trying to charge me $300.00. Then they took me to another little room and made me wait more. Finally, a lady walked in and said they were gonna let me go this time.....Unbelievably bad experience...my co-workers thought I had been arrested or something as they were not told a thing....anyway..just sayin'....

One of the guys I used to work with when I went to Canada was a boxer when he was younger. He boxed in the Pan AM games. One day I was at his house and he showed me a picture taken right after a match. It was of him, Teaflo (sp) Stevenson, and Fidel Castro. It was pretty cool.
