Toronto is a nice city. I would be proud to say I was from Toronto.

I am actually from Brampton, a suburb NW of Toronto. That's where I grew up. It is a vast, soulless expanse of cookie cutter homes, gas stations and convenience stores. It is pretty much an armpit. I am not proud of Brampton.

People often feel obliged to express pride in wherever they are from. They lose all objectivity.

I'm sure if there was some place where it rained pee every single day, there would still be residents marching in civic pride parades with dopey smiles pasted on their faces. People are idiotic that way.

Not me. Brampton is a hole. Mississauga is a hole although it so happens that I do like the area in which I have lived the last ~12 years. Port Credit is a cool little area.

Toronto is a nice city.
 
I grew up in an obscure little enclave sandwiched between an oil depot and an army base. Mommy Rain still lives there and my bro and I want to buy the family's duplex once my Grandma dies. It's not a nice place at all. But it's a big part of us.

Yeah Brampton has all kinds of important memories for me and is no doubt a big part of me. I just don't make the leap like so many people do to: therefore it's a great place.

It will be EXTREMELY weird if/when my parents move out of that house we moved into when I was 2. I get all kinds of strange internal rumblings just contemplating it.

Even though it is in one of the nicest, oldest parts of Brampton, I don't think I would want to ever own it though. I would just let it go.

What's the difference between an area and a mailing destination?

I rarely ever venture north of Dupont, west of Ossington or east of Yonge.

If your apt/house was located in Hampstead or Westmount, Outremont, or Ville-Marie you would say you lived in Montreal.

It's the same thing with Port Credit. Port Credit is part of Mississauga.

I'm not even sure what the argument is here but anyway, I identify myself as being from Port Credit, not Mississauga, as do most Port Crediters (Port Cretins?). So that's what people say.

So I agree with you. Or disagree.

Not sure.

This goes back to when I was in Montreal - well actually I was in Laval QC and Matty said Laval was not Montreal.

I grew up in Etobicoke, a borough of Toronto - Etobicoke IS part of Toronto just as Port Credit is part of Mississauga.
The buses that serve your area are not Pt Credit transit buses, they are Mississauga Transit buses.

You live in Pt Credit, which is an area located within the city limit of Mississauga.

Matty was just breaking my balls about all of this stuff, I just wanted to set the kid straight.
