Many Americans would be surprised to learn that the world's
tallest building has not been located in the United States
since 1967. That was the year that the TV Ostankino Tower
in Moscow surpassed the Empire State Building and the World
Trade Center (under construction at the time) as the world's
tallest building. In 1975, Canada took the title from the
former Soviet Union with the opening of the CN Tower. CN
Tower, owned by the Canadian National Railways remains the
tallest self-supporting structure in the world today and is
an important component in transmitting Canada's radio and
television signals.




Did you know...???

That "Toronto" is the Huron Indian word that means "place of meeting"?
That the United Nations has designated Toronto as the world's "most ethnically-diverse city"?
That Yonge Street, the main thoroughfare, is the longest street in the world (about 1,200 miles/ 1,800 km long)?
That the world's tallest building, the CN Tower (which dominates Toronto's skyline), has been identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World?







For those of you that are geographically impaired.....I live here eh?...

Toronto is an aboriginal word which means,
"place of meeting." It's an appropriate
name for the most culturally diverse city
in North America. From Little Italy to our
bustling Chinatowns, you will never tire of
the variety of experiences Toronto has to offer.





This is a transcript of an ACTUAL radio communique between a U.S.NAVY ship and Canadian authorities off the cost of Newfoundland, October 1995.
Radiolog released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10/10/95

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees South to avoid collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert.

CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. I SAY AGAIN, THAT'SONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse . . . Your call.

The Toronto Song

By The Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie (from the album Con Troupo Comedius, recorded "in, like, 92 or something")


I hate the SkyDome and the CN Tower too;
I hate Nathan Philips Square and the Zoo!
The rent's too high,
The air's unclean,
The beaches are dirty,
And the people are mean!
And the women are big and the men are dumb
And the children are loopy 'cause they live in a slum!
The water is polluted and the mayor's a dork!
They dress real bad and they think they're New York...
In Toronto . . . !
Ontario . . . oh-oh!


"You know . . . now that I think about it, I pretty much hate all of Ontario!"
"Yeah! Me too!"


I hate Thunder Bay and Ottawa,
Kitchener, Windsor, and Oshawa!
London sucks and the Great Lakes suck,
And Sarnia sucks and Turkey Point sucks!


I took a trip to Ontario to visit Brian Mulroney!
He beat me up and he stole my pants
And he put me in a tree!
I went to see the Maple Leafs
And got hit in the head with a puck.

(And Alan Thicke sucks!)


Ontario . . . oh-oh-oh sucks.


"Come to think of it, I pretty much hate every gosh darn province and territory in our country!"
"Well except Alberta!"
"Oh yeah, of course I love Alberta! Lot's of cows, rocks, trees and dirt . . . mmmmoo moo moo!"


But . . . I hate Newfoundland 'cause they talk so weird
And Prince Edward Island is . . . too small.
Nova Scotia's dumb 'cause it's the name of a bank;
New Brunswick doesn't have a good mall!
Quebec is revolting and it makes me mad!
Ontario sucks . . . Ontario sucks.


"Mantoba's population density is 1.9 people per square kilometre! Isn't that stupid?!"


Saskatchewan is boring and the people are old!
And as for the territories . . .
They're too cold!


"And the only really good thing about the province of British Columbia is that it's right next to us!"
'Cause Alberta . . . a-a
Doesn't suck!
But Calgary does . . . !


The views expressed in this song are not nessesarily the views shared my me....


I'm looking for a wav file of this song. If anyone knows where I can find one...or if you can send me one...please do..!!
