As a new comer to Canada what are some of the key elements of Canadian society that I need to be aware of ? Are there any meetups or groups you can suggest where I can connect with folks in a similar situation looking to expand their horizons and get integrated with help from you wonderful folks ? Would truly love to learn more about the local culture and what makes this great nation tick. Cheers !

Canadians expect and respect people who are thoughtful and willing to lend a hand . . always best to keep that in mind.

Those are some words to live by. Cheers

Welcome. Where are you from?

Canada is huge, & we're all quite different. I'm in British Columbia, which is a long way from Toronto, so I can't suggest anything.

Yep, slowly but surely I'm beginning to understand the magnitude of how large Canada really is. Ontario itself is quite a handful !

@Torrenziality Yes, BC is big too, & a person never gets to see everything.

It looks like you are in Toronto, shouldn't be too hard to find some nonbelievers in Hogtown.

Always wondered y its called Hogtown. Also the T.Dot and 416. Whats that about

@Torrenziality Hogtown comes from the old stockyards and meat processing plants that used to be big business in Toronto in the early 1900's. 416 was the old area code for Toronto before they had to add 905 and a few others.
T.O. was for Toronto, Ontario but nobody from Toronto proper ever called it that and as for T.Dot, well that's a new one on me. I left for more interesting place back in 1989 and never moved back but I still have friends and family that live in the city and wouldn't live anywhere else.

@Surfpirate thank you so much ! this is most enlightening 🙂

@Torrenziality Old Toronto family roots going back to when it was York and the bloody Yanks came and burned the governor's residence that set off the War of 1812, this lead to the British aka Canadians as we were British subjects, going down to Washington DC and giving the White House its name. Prior to the sacking of Washington and the torching of the White House it was called the US Presidential Palace but the Yanks had to whitewash the scorch marks over and it became the White House.
