Let’s All Hate Toronto
Aww, just when I finished ranting about how it sometimes feels like I'm the only hater on the block, I found this little tidbit:
TORONTO, Ontario (Reuters) — The dislike of Canada's biggest city, Toronto, in the rest of the country runs so deep that a filmmaker has made a documentary about it.
"People in Toronto are soulless, one-eyed corporate zombies," Joey Keithley, of the Vancouver punk band D.O.A., says in the film, "Let's All Hate Toronto."
The 73-minute film, which premieres at Toronto's Hot Docs documentary festival next week, follows a character called Mister Toronto, who embarks on a cross-Canada trip brandishing a sign that reads "Toronto Appreciation Day" and steels himself for the onslaught.
"There is something different (about hating Toronto). People are more passionate about it," filmmaker and co-director Albert Nerenberg said in an interview.

I'm not alone! I'm really not alone! Haters of the world, unite!!
P.S. What in the hell is a "one eyed corporate zombie"? And why are they any worse than two-eyed corporate zombies? I'm just asking - cuz that's what I do.
Actually the film is quite funny. Just saw it here, of course in Toronto.
