The major cities of Canada are their own methlabs. Vancouver and Montreal are toxic hellholes. Toronto still has mixed charm, but it definitely has a streets where fentanyl has completely taken over.

If you get into the areas outside the major cities (where I spent most of my time)... that's where you find those quaint cozy homes. However, they are all in deep trouble with their youth. I met some amazing young people while I was there but most of the youth I dealt with were living lives like they were on permanent spring break in Ft Lauderdale. Sad.
