Everyone has their own opinion and this board is here for people like you and me to voice them.
So if I am pointless. Due to the fact that I post on this msg board than, that would mean that you are just as pointless.
So what the exactly is it that you are trying to say to me than? |

you toronto losers think you're all that because you are bigger... your scene in comparison to ours doesn't even come close... I have 4 really good friends, of them my best friend, move down to toronto because of a job (all 4 of them at the same place, heh), and it has been about 3 months, and let me tell you, they hate it... the only place they found that came close was guvernment, but even then, the people there, the energy felt, and everything esle related to that was garbage compared to a night at aria, or sona... you know how it is at certain clubs and bars in montreal, the attitude is so flowing that i am beyond words when there isn't a fight or an argument... its the same thing there... they all had the same impression... the people you are dancing for 4-5-6-... hours, which are 2 inches from you the whole night, if it isn't a relaxed, happy, cheerful experience, it ruins the night... I'm going down to TO in a couple of weeks to see them, and we'll be going to the guvernment, to see steve lawler... I can't wait, but not expecting a night similar to the one that I would have at aria or even sona (and you guys know how i feel about sona)...
other than that (quoting Biggy):
Many festivals and party like:
Black & Blue
Bal en Blanc
Cream
Gay Pride Week (over 1 million people, biggest in Canada)
Arrivals
Formula 1 week-end (Canada biggest event and money from outside the country)
Jazz Festival (World biggest)
Cart Indy racing week-end (thats Toronto Biggy)
Just for Laugh festivals
Francofolies Festivals
And some party like:
OASIS
Swirl
Celebration
and all other underground party (less than 3000 people)
Clubs and afterhours like:
Aria
Sona
Stereo
Red-Lite
Level
Ilume
Sky
Unity
Groove Society
Jet club
Living
and many many mores...
Absolutely no comparison.... look, I'm not saying that the toronto scene sucks, i'm just saying that you guys don't come close to the amount of house/techno/trance music festivities that we have, let alone all the other stuff quoted... fine your city, I have to admit, the last time I went down, which was 2 months ago (was the first time then in about 10 years), I was very impressed by the city size, and how it resembled so much New York... all the shopping centres, Younge street, queen street, no comparisons to St-Catherine boulevard, or St-Laurent... very dynamic, and all that, but still i have to go back to the people... when you walk on montreal streets, you can feel the warmth of the people... Toronto has none of that... and it is reflected to the underground scene very much so, and it is the major downfall... when I am at a rave or after hour, when walking around, I love to see people with smiles on their faces, looking like they are having a good time, and when i see that, i tap the person on the shoulder, and we have a wink... the same thing as saying I'm happy that you are happy (drug or no drug)... and the person taps me on the shoulder, it is mutual... I get most of my energy from that... and that is what drives me during the night... of course the music is also a main driving force on me, but if there was no mutual happyness (and showing it), i dont like it...
anyways, i've rambled on for long enough... just my thoughts on this subject, which i waited a little, wanted to see the outcome...

Ok so you are going to bash me cause I am from Toronto? WTF?
"you toronto losers think you're all that because you are bigger..."
did you take a god damn survey of everyone in Toronto to come up with this? NO! I never said that I was all that, did I? NO! Did I ever once bash Montreal? NO!
So what is this bull, about Toronto loosers? If you wanna bash those who talk crap about Montreal go ahead (cause I have no idea what the Montreal scene is like). But why do you have to insult people like me?!:conf:
"your scene in comparison to ours doesn't even come close... "
fine, I'll trust you on that one. I've never been to Montreal, congratulations on a great scene! |

no, me personally have not take a survey on everyone in toronto, no one has, but my 4 buddies that i fully trust, who are in toronto, and also were in montreal all their lives (well except for one of them who was somewhere else for a couple of years something like 6 years ago), and they kept telling me how much they miss the montreal scene, and how much they rarely party now that they are there... we used to always go out, have fun, raves, after hours clubs, everything... now, i feel they're pain... but let me tell you something, they like toronto during the day... downtown TO is really nice, and they are still exploring, but as for night life, not much... and dont tell em that it is so because of the fact that they moved to a city where they don't know many people... they ahve lots of friends who go out in toronto, and they have been out with them... and still...
as for saying losers... i didnt mean it, i just threw a word without thinking... i'm not the type to swear and insult for no reason, i dont even know you guys... hehe |

Toronto is really good but different than Montreal.
Anyway if it was all the same in every city, it would be a disaster. |

no offence taken, I apreciate that you replied to my post!

3. Have a drink at 737 Club (00 1 514 397 0737). On the forty-third floor of the Place De Ville Marie, on the corner of Rue René Levesque and Rue Université, this is a favourite hangout for the city's beautiful people. At sunset, the view from one of the highest points in the city becomes breathtaking, as do some of the clientele. Happy hour is from 5-7pm on Thursdays.
:D altho it's DA GINO PLACE by definition in Montreal , i love that place , awesome terrasse :) |

| why is it always Montrealer's who start this sort of discussion. And it's always those insults, insults, insults.. It looks as if you yourselves are not sure about your scene, and so trying to come up with arguments to convince YOURSELVES that it's better. |
