You&#x27;re right there is an element of that, but I think I&#x27;m fairly objective about Toronto because I wasn&#x27;t born here and I tend to visit a lot of other cities as well.<p>At the end of the day, you simply can&#x27;t get around the weather. If you&#x27;re really in the mood for snow, NYC is definitely more exciting around Christmas-time, and even Ottawa, Montreal or Quebec City have more going on in terms of public events.<p>Toronto&#x27;s a wind-tunnel during most of the cold-season and the snow is not the fluffy fun kind, but quickly freezes or turns to dirty slush.<p>For 6 months of the year Torontonians are just trying to get between their preferred indoor heated spaces as quickly as possible, and public gathering spaces are very limited.
