Canadians are well known to be polite and modest people. We tend not to boast about things when we are on top of the World like in Banking, Hockey, the Arts and even some Supermodels from our Country. One thing that we can celebrate is that Toronto is declared by the The Economist Magazine as the Best Place To Live In The World in 2015 and also the top Safe Cities in North America. These indexes are carefully analysed by the The Economist Intelligence Unit using various factors like safety, livability, cost of living, environment, democracy and food security. Montreal is the second and Stockholm, Sweden as third best City to Live in the World. We are so proud that Toronto is the #1 Best City In The World to Live. It's my home sweet home.
Here is the complete Index of Indexes: Best City To Live Report from The Economist.
We are the best because of our diversity in people, food, entertainment and culture plus our City is very safe with less crime, it is clean, very polite people that respects privacy, has world class Shopping whether we go downtown on Dundas, Queen St West or Bloor-Yorkville, lots of parks and better services. Toronto also have the best Hospitals, very good schools and the University of Toronto. Being the best and #1 ranking does not mean that we are perfect. Our City has a high cost of living which is normal for a large City. We know that we still have many things we have to improve on like less traffic, better public transportation and making our City more beautiful and efficient.

We also have many festivals in Toronto even during Winter. This week we have the Toronto Winterlicious 2015 which is a food festival of prix fixe menus offered by hundreds of participating restaurants in the City. Of course, my friends and I participated right away last weekend at Ciao Wine Bar in Yorkville. My friends had the Caesar Salad and I had the crostini with mushrooms for appetizer.
Most of us had the Tagliatelle with shrimp and tomato sauce.
For dessert, we had Vanilla Bean and Honey Panna Cotta with champagne fizz and citrus salad.
