Toronto now holds the title as the most livable city in the world.
“There are a lot of good things going on,†said Rahul Bhardwaj, with the Toronto Community Foundation which released the Toronto Vital Signs 2010 report.
PricewaterhouseCoopers says Toronto is number one when it comes to livability and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Toronto as 16 in 2009 among 221 global cities.

Toronto attracted 22 million visitors in 2009 from over 200 countries contributing $4 billion in spending and creating 65,000 jobs.
The distance of bike lanes and routes grew to 418 km in 2009 from 166 km in 2001, and the city is planning to increase that with a commitment of $100,000 over the next decade.
“Toronto has always been a good city to live in,†Bhardwaj said.
This news may come as quite a bit of a shock for Rob Ford and his supporters. Good thing it was published in the Toronto Sun.
