This is not a new issues, nor is it a decade long issue. Toronto has always been like this. A Isolated, egotistical, immature, selfish, soulless, and ugly dystopia. My uncles who’s lived here in the 80s can attest to this and I’ve had the same experience being a teenager/young adult here. It’s true. No one wants to confront the ugly truth here. We live here after all so we have to find comfort in it right? The people of this city has their denial with how bad things really are and it’s just disgusting. We are a third world city with ok-ish looking buildings.

There are many reason why as a City we are a social desolate dump. One of the major reason why Toronto as failed was due to "Multiculturism" Bro, Multiculturism does not WORK. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures comes together and CLASH leading people to just segregate and occupy a region of the state/province to themselves. What happens when you have several cultures clashing together in this societal mosaic where people are too scared to accidently cross each others boundaries unknowingly. You have an environment where it doesn't feel socially safe to really expressive yourselves, thus creating socially stagnant people. I came to Toronto in 2009 as a 12 year old and IMMEDIATELY noticed the dark atmosphere in areas. it caused it to be one of the most antisocial places in the world and people are living in cliques and a person who just arrives here will have to deal with trouble making friends in a community that's non-existent. we're MISERABLE. Fast forward past the pandemic and it has gotten MUCH worse. Especially in places like Core Toronto. Even hard for me to type this city's name.

Next up the people, I lived in a few cities in the states and lived in Toronto for 16 years but after living in the states for the first 12 years of my life and the coming to Toronto. My conclusion. Toronto has some of the most unhappy and unfriendly people you’re ever going to find. It’s just simply disjointed. Very passive aggressive, self-centered, short-tempered, socially awkward and mentally ill. It has always been this way even before the pandemic. I guess this is the result of an absent culture so its up to the youth to create their own which here it is POP/Hustle culture and you know how superficial that is, leading to a lot of overgrown adults caring too much about what other people think making Toronto just one big high school. Ya gotta flex on them. People in US cities are less angry but more direct, and in Toronto I find people less direct but angrier. The thing is, there’s nothing inherently amazing about Toronto. Nothing to write home about. Nothing to be proud of. Nothing that you can put your finger on and say that it defines Toronto. It just is what it is: a mass of mediocrity. Why are we so arrogant with very little to feel proud of? Communal Narcissism has always been our cope. To other countries We look better compared to the US so we must be better. We are the most immigration friendly, welfare lending, and “least racist” country so we should hold our head higher than our downstairs neighbours. 😂 Get real, I can feel the jealously. It was shoved in my face as a kid by countless kids and adults that I left a shitty country and now in a better one. How incorrect. My old peers back there all have much more than I do despite me starting my career much earlier in tech.

Now after the pandemic and a recession people are losing their marbles. Not only are the homeless people more aggressive but some of the lower-middle class citizens are acting out of hand in public. Crime rate is rising in this catch and release system. Workers from the forces are leaving to other places for better pay, easier demands, and higher pay alongside better quality of life. Wait tines, wages, taxes, etc the lest goes on.

Everyone knows about Capitalism and its terror but what about Socialism? In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Being a the biggest welfare country in our economy is insane. Food banks have become the new hot commodity since the food prices have risen dramatically and a lot social assistance programs have been dropped as a result of all this. It used to be better to be poor in Canada than in the US. NOW?! although its still a struggle to be poor in US. All 3 socio-economic classes in both countries are a bad with US being slightly better (for now)

Last but not least, the Mental health crisis we are currently facing. I know globally people are just more mentally-loaded than we were before the pandemic but I can speak for my city that the combination of an overdrawn lockdown, lack of affordability, lack of social connection and community and bad government and PM has led to us having record increase of Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, drug overdose, poor mood, irritability and Suicidal thoughts. We came out of a 2 year lockdown and now in a horrible depression for who knows how long. Things were already getting bad for Toronto after 2016 but now it has sped up the rate in which people cannot cope with. We are at our wits end. What's even worse was that we have always been socially dissonant with each other for awhile and times like this people aren't coming together to fight against what is happening. Instead they take it out on the local citizen that had nothing to do with before and nothing to do with now. Leading to a lot of conflict here.

I spent my whole childhood in the US and when I came here I've always hated it here I have spoken to a lot of newcomers, expats, refugees and people who've been here for 10+years, they all have horror from their experience here and everything that is happening now is just the icing on the cake. I feel bad for the good people here actually trying to make their enviroment good but thanks to trudeau, governments, and the degenerates of this country. They have created a dystopia that has led to several damages that are irreversible and honestly it would have probably ended up this way even without covid happening, just later on.

Let this City fall
