Should I go to Toronto or Ottawa for Canada Day 2008?

Question

So I have the option of being in Toronto or Ottawa on Canada Day 2008. My gut reaction was to pick Ottawa but after seeing the events list for the nations capital I'm not sure what the draw is other than being in Ottawa on Canada Day. Does Toronto's festivities rival Ottawa? Is the party going to be better in T.O?

Answer 1

definently Ottawa

have fun!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Ottawa blows, there are Ottawa Senators fans there.

Answer 3

I've never been in Toronto for Canada but I lived in Ottawa for many years.  The Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill are awesome.  The only down side is everything that is said is said in both "official" languages.  Kind of sucks if you don't speak that other language.

Answer 4

I would rather go to Ottawa for Canada Day. It is the nation's capital and I'm sure there will be tons of parties going on that aren't listed on the memo. I would choose Ottawa but then again, its your call. Plus if you are in Ottawa then you can go to Montreal and Montreal is awesome!

Answer 5

most people in Toronto

will be out of town at their cottages on Canada day

the only thing going on would be some socialist community picnics sponsored by local governments

they'll be some fireworks at Ontario place

and they'll be giiiving away wieners on a bun at Queens park

does this sound like anything you want to see

other than that

all the bums will be out on the sidewalks panhandling for money

think about it

do you really want to come to Toronto

this city blows

the politicians destroyed it

my advice would be to stay away

go spend your money elsewhere

Answer 6

If I had the option of being in Ottawa for Canada Day that is definitely where I would be!!

Answer 7

go to Vancouver it rocks!
