Toronto - the Magnificent Capital of Ontario
Neighborhood: County of York
Toronto, Ontario is larger than Ottawa, Canada (The Capital of Canada). The CN Tower reaches to a height of both 1,815 feet and 5 inches. One can see the whole city and its' countryside from the top of this particular tower. The subway system (Ride The Rocket) (The Toronto Transit Commission) is the most expensive public transportation infrastructure in the country. The fare for one subway ride is $2.75. The buses traveling both within Toronto, Ontario and around Toronto, Ontario are all served by GO Transit (GET ON THE GO). Shopping for groceries in this particular city? The cost of groceries in Toronto, Ontario is exorbitant. Many residents suggest that tourists purchase a day pass. Lake Ontario borders the city on the south. The city of Vaughn, Ontario borders the city on the north. There was one person who thought that the city might have had a whole Sephardic section. One synagogue, on Bathurst Street (In Thornhill, Ontario - A Small City Just Adjacent To Vaughn, Ontario), is an extremely Sephardic temple. The name of this particular synagogue is the Sephardic Kehila Centre. Many Sephardic weddings take place here. One person has even said that this particular temple looks just like the Taj Mahal in India.

The city of Toronto, Ontario was one of the whole country's candidates to become the capital. Two other cities that were also candidates to become the capital of the whole country included both Kingston, Ontario (About 2 ½ To 3 Hours East of Toronto, Ontario) (Also On The Shores of Lake Ontario) and Montreal, Quebec (The Biggest Metropolis In Quebec). Queen Victoria (1819 - 1901), in 1857, was the one who authorized Ottawa, "a little lumber-town", to be the capital of Canada's United Province (Which Is Today Both The Province of Ontario & The Province of Quebec). Residents speak two languages all across the country of Canada. French is the main language in the province of Quebec. Almost all of the residents in Canada are bilingual. Queen Elizabeth II (1926 - ) is both Canada's Monarch and Head of State. Her reign has lasted for over fifty years (Since 1952 To Be Exact). The countries that this particular queen is the sovereign of include Canada, The United Kingdom, Antigua, Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Granada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts, Nevis, St. Lucia, Saint Vincent, The Grenadines, The Solomon Islands, & Tuvalu. She acts as a queen of all these particular countries whenever her majesty visits the latter. The roles of Canada's prime minister, on the other hand, include either being a party leader, being a member of Parliament, being a Cabinet chairman, being an international statesman, or just being a very prevalent national icon (Known To Many Throughout The Entire Country).
