Does Toronto really see the rest of Canada — or just itself? Jim Richards tackles that question head-on in a conversation that moves from local traffic to national identity.

He breaks down why the rest of the country sees Toronto as disconnected, and whether that perception is fair. Plus: why a family making $250K still can’t buy a home in the city, why the Blue Jays win mattered so much, and what keeps Toronto feeling livable — even when it’s barely moving.
