I remember a quote from Sylvia Tyson, a success Canadian folk singer who was raised in Chatham - a small farming town halfway between Toronto and Windsor. when asked about the town of her youth, she replied "Oh, Chatham is a great place to be from!" I don't share your enthusiasm for Toronto, Johnny, though I'd much rather live there than, say, Boston or Atlanta. For me, Ottawa is the perfect city - big enough to have attractions, small enough to have human scale, and Canadian tax dollars all come here to die. The only problem is that except for a smallish section of downtown it's really too bougeois to make a good setting for sterotypical Leica-style street photos. Paul
