Toronto don't miss:

1. Lousy, expensive public transit
2. Being paid a lot of money to do almost no work
3. The terminally hip, people who think T.O. is the center of the universe
4. Street food vendors who start and end with hot dogs
5. Not being able to get Letterman and Leno back to back on one convenient channel
