Which is better - Toronto or Ottawa?

TORONTO. I love it there :)

I don't think there's a difference between Toronto and Ottawa in terms of being safer. Toronto definitely has more attractions than Ottawa does, so you'd find more fun in Toronto. Toronto has more choices of universities and colleges, I don't know how many colleges and universities Toronto has, but Ottawa only has two major universities, and one major college. Ottawa has more government opportunities, and more high-tech opportunities so in a sense Ottawa is immune to recessions. Whereas Toronto fluctuates in terms of business opportunities depending on the economy. But since Toronto is a big city I feel that there is more opportunities for jobs. I don't know about the opportunities for the artistic, being an engineer myself. If by saying cheaper meaning living expenses? A price of a house would run you about hundred thousand dollars less in Ottawa or is the rentals for an apartment would run you about the same I think. Is prettier? I think with the urban sprawl in Toronto it makes it that much less attractive, whereas in Ottawa with their green spaces that the national capital commission sets aside plus the canal I think makes Ottawa prettier than Toronto. Plus the other advantage to living in Ottawa is living in a city that knows how to deal with snow. People across Canada still laugh at the people in Toronto because they had to call in the military to help deal with all the snow they experienced one winter.

I dont know why your comparing Toronto with Ottawa. I have been to Ottawa so much times, and it isnt that exciting. I would definitly go with Toronto. Its very beautiful, safe, many UNI's and colleges. Toronto has alot to offer. Its a very big city.

Is safer? Ottawa, it is a very safe place considering its size :) Is funner? Toronto is great for shopping and has many surrounding activities, like the science centre. Ottawa is beautiful and fun if you like strolls in the park and historic museums. Has better universities/colleges? It depends what you;re going for, Toronto has Toronto U which is great and they have Arts Colleges and such. But Ottawa has Queens and Carleton which is a great journalism school. Has more opportunities in general? Toronto is a big business city so there's more opportunities there unless you're looking for Gouvernment opportunitiess in which they'd have in Ottawa due tParliamentnt. Has more opportunities for the artistic? Toronto, has a great arts sector. Is cheaper? Toronto is really cheap but you don't necessarily get the best quality. It's a diverse city so you have really poor and really rich. but to have average housing Ottawa has the cheapest houses about 15-20 minutes away from the core Is prettier? Ottawa all the way! I would rather live in Ottawa because I'm no city girl and could not live in Toronto.

Is safer? Ottawa Is funner? Depends, if you're more into city life than Toronto, however in Ottawa you have some country and a bit of city too. Has better universities/colleges? Toronto Has more opportunities in general? As far as I know, Toronto Has more opportunities for the artistic? Same as above Is cheaper? Not sure, I don't think there is a big difference though. Is prettier? Ottawa, but Toronto is very nice too, Ottawa is cleaner though. Personally, I like Ottawa better but I am not a big city girl.

Both are beautiful ,but if you like to speak french and to live in a french environment ,it is better to choose Ottawa.
