Re: New Toronto Brand: "City of Unlimited Possibilities
I think hatred towards Toronto is less a reality and more just something that is repeated by uncreative Toronto journalists who need something too write about on slow news days. I might know only a handful of people who actually dislike Toronto enough to engage in any kind of bashing of the city, and usually only when the subject of the city is brought up. For the most part, people don't have any problems with the city (save the uncreative journalists outside of Toronto who keep writing silly articles about the city).
If anything the so called hatred of Toronto is really a product of the cities own neurotic self obsession with how everyone else in the country and internationally sees the city. Great time and effort is spent seeking out the opinion of others, and when that opinion is negative, it is amplified several fold into a sign the city is failing and that no one loves it.
If you are looking for a Toronto identity, it would be that girlfriend who calls you 20 times a day asking if you love her and wants to hold your hand all the time and tag along no matter what you are doing, but whom you won't dump because she is just a really nice person, cute, and a demon in bed.
