Whatever!

'm probably going to make a few people angry this morning, but too bad!



Being an information-junky, I watch and listen to a lot of talk TV and radio and I gotta say, I'm really getting tired of people who don't live in Toronto, who have the nerve to bitch and complain about the quality of life here.



Be it day or night-time call-in shows, there are people phoning-in from way outside the GTA to tell everybody watching at home how much the city stinks.



Any time there's a shooting, that's the topic of the day, and someone from Peterborough or Barrie will call-in and say how afraid they are to come into Toronto and how unsafe and scary the city has become.



Please! You don't even live here! You don't even know what its like to walk on our streets in the day or evening, so stop acting like you have even a minute clue as to what's going on here!



I don't know what it's like in Trenton, so you better believe I don't call-up their local shows and complain about their crime stats or municipal politicians and the circus act they put on all the time.



This is much like the case when it comes to family members. Let's be honest here, you know you've got someone in your clan who's just not right. Who sticks out like a sore thumb and was probably adopted, or something.



Well, it’s okay for you to make fun of them all you want, but someone on the outside of the family who tries to join-in on your reindeer games better watch their mouth, or else!



So unless you live in Toronto or very close to it, don't smack talk my city! It's got its problems and needs a lot of work in some places, but it's mine and I love it, freaks, flaws and all.





But Whatever!
