I feel that. There are some sweet places in Ontario, towns in the center of Southern Ontario, but I feel that a lot of Ontarian culture in the south has basically become the American version of London culture. Tons of emigrants from the Africa, South Asia, and North East Asia, and overall that multi cultural "identity" has supplanted any sort of native identity.Go North and you hit communities filled to the tits with dry reserve rejects who have learned that the law doesn't really apply to them, and that if they scream "Residential Schools" enough, they get what they want. Oh, and don't forget the truly horrifying amount of substance abuse across the board, which is growing year by year.
Go to the South, and face the ever-growing threat of being culturally enriched, enjoy the feeling of effectively being an immigrant in your own nation, and best of luck escaping rent serfdom.
I've lived in both the North and South, and I can't honestly tell you which I prefer, only that the big cities are pestilent hell-holes. There are still nice places to live in the province, but they're getting harder to find every day. Every decision made on both the provincial and federal level feels engineered to punish anyone who might actually have a horse in the race. My interests are pinned here, otherwise I'd be gone already.
I pretty much avoid the big cities, or did before I left anyways.
I honestly wouldn't mind the cultural enrichment (it would annoy me a bit) if it wasn't for the fact that a) can't buy a house and b) the job market in Canada is just far too insular and competitive.
If you have a place where people are divorced from the culture and economically disenfranchised on top of that, its a horrible recipe for brain drain.
