It's just an hour away by plane from New York so I decided on a weekend jaunt to Toronto. I haven't been there and I've got friends to meet - Jerry and Benjie - whom I haven't seen since our Jeddah days in Saudi Arabia. At this time of the year, Toronto's weather is thankfully not frigid anymore. New Yorkers have always been aware of how bad it gets when a snowstorm hits Canada's largest city - we have a similar winter weather pattern, you see.Plenty of Pinoys live in Toronto and the neighboring suburbs (collectively known as the Greater Toronto Area), making Filipinos the third largest minority group after those coming from India and China. Canada's liberal immigration laws have helped spur these arrivals from the Philippines, averaging 20,000 a year of mostly professionals enticed - as usual - by the lure of a greener pasture.
