This'll be my third trip down. The Ontario Joe fans are a blast. Heck, half of them have really unique jobs that are just fun to hear about if you need a break from all the GI Joe.

Actually, she just found a bunch in Scarbourogh, too. (how can a city with a name as awesome as SCAR-BURROW share a province with CORN-WALL? Honestly!) How do their labs compared to Mississauga's?
It's really a crap shoot. Almost all the labs in ontario are in the 2 places you just mentioned. T will have no shortage of opportunities, but also no shortage of competition.
Rent a crappy little apartment there before you consider buying. You may completely hate the area and want to run away, as some sections of those two cities (especially Scarberia) are completely unlivable.

Couldn't tell you about a comparison as the labs I use for sample analysis are pretty much located in Mississauga.
If your considering Scarbourough for work reasons, you might as well consider living in Markham (abuts north of Scarborough) or east in Durham Region (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa etc.). There are parts of Scarborough I would never consider living it.
And I would never live in Mississauga to drive into Toronto. The traffic is horrible and you have the sun blasting in your face in the morning heading east. If you decide Mississauga for work, your better off living their.

What's public transportation like from Mississauga to Toronto? Are there options other than the Go? Tina will be driving Tank Girl style, but I'll be communiting until we're settled in.

Whatever you do, do *NOT* even go to the Jane/Finch area. Not to look, not to shop, not for any reason. I've already had one friend take a few stray bullets to his car, and very nearly his melon while he was returning a video to Blockbuster.

As an aside, I have a friend who lives right at the Jane/Finch intersection and he says he never has any trouble. Just don't walk around wearing a lot of red or blue. :)

The outskirts of Toronto is slowly becoming gang-central. Inside the city is much nicer and cozier. (emphasis on cozy since you'll be living in a tiny place with high rent)

So I guess Pappa Smurf would be heading for a world of hurt if he went there.

What the hell!?!?
Is that Papa Smurf or did someone mug Santa?
Either way I feel very cold now Mike.
