apparantly i wasn't signed in--i compare to other cities and i travelled a lot . i've never run into the cliqueishness and even cultishness anywere else as bad as tronna. its safe and there is a lot to do, but man that need to hate based on percieved class and cool is un rivaled anywhere i've been. and i've lived in calgary and new york .

montral is way more laid back, as is san fran and vancouver. you can make a living from music in tronna but after a while one starts to wonder if its worth it.

the busking was great, but the ontario born buskers almost to a man expected special treatment and had an additude of entitlement in all things. i used to try to negotiate with them but man they think they are holyier than any one. the immigrants are musc easier to get along with.

and as i said i was gobsmaked by the people who posted on the internet false allegations of mental illness and criminality. they really thopught i was picking on them unfairly taking them to court and forcing them to print retractions and pay damages--i really have never met people that snobish combined with cliqueish before.

i have had people not like me before but they normally ignore me, but a decade campaign of slander(in one case) the sense of "specialness and entitlement " is unparralleled .

it was fun getting to court where they were horrified to discover that their native ontario birth didn't count for a thing. i think this is the back lash vote for harris and now rob ford. the locall born used to have huge advantages. virtually guaranteed the big jobs on bay street, but now you need to get degrees with good marks and from the top institutions and there are people from all over competing.

so yeah i wouldn't live there again unless i was totally broke with no other options
