As I see it, a truly urban-cosmopolitan judgment wouldn't even bother with these kinds of Toronto vs Mississauga arguments, especially if they're so excessively defined by saccharine, insipid "this is where I live, this is home" parameters.
I guess this is the first comment I agree with you so far. Because of rapid developments that Sauga has experienced in such short 10 years, it seemed that it would be compare an underdog to already venerable urban champion in Canada. And I felt that I was proud of being here.
Yes even though I praise my city, there is so much bittersweet feel already between me and the city. Thanks to my exposure in Toronto, I feel slowly that there is an suburban abyss in Mississauga. At times when looking back into Sauga, T.O. seems to be blessed with cultural richness, while Sauga there seems to be a void of antiquity. It feels like clothes put on a mannequin. I must say, living in megaburb is really a mixed blessing. One is a new start in the new city; the other is lost in the wild.
I guess this is true: age is beauty.
