Currently, I live in Toronto and, as most of us know, there are only so many "big cities" in Canada, so many expats and immigrants alike move in and around the GTA.

I use it to write this blog, take notes, and all sorts of developer documentation. Over the course of eight years, I’ve never used reference links. What a shame!
