Toronto has a colorful history in its over-the-top mayor Mel Lastman, a former appliance salesman. He likely reminded folks of the plaid-dressed Eugene Levy character on Second City TV – a song-and-dance used car salesman named Al Peck who quipped in commercials that “Every car has a story.”

it is all good fun - if you don’t get too close – and Mr. Levy also happens to be Canadian – from Hamilton, Ontario. Great fun it is! Mel Lastman Square honors former Mayor Lastman with 20,000 sq. ft. of open green space and attractions.

The motto of Toronto, written by the local tourist board is Toronto – You Belong Here . David Miller became Mayor in 2003 and put Toronto on a course for increasing economic development by attracting new business to the metro area, improving services and infrastructure (Yonge-Dundas Square - free events in 2009) and advocating for minorities of every stripe.

After the American Revolution, British Loyalists had gathered in Ontario, purchasing land from Mississauga Nation (Toronto Land Purchase of 1787) and settling to create provinces and cities for the future. The land that became Toronto became the provincial capital of Ontario and there was so much mud in the streets and land parcels that it was dubbed “Muddy York.”

Famous Yonge Street, the longest road in the world according to Guinness World Records, seems nearly always to have existed and a stagecoach line began operating along this route as early as 1828. A dozen years before this, First Nations allies/troops of the British were parceled onto First Native reserves and more closely controlled by the federal and provincial governments.They had used the Yonge Street route for hundreds of years.

Today, all bands of Mohawk Nation are recognized as part of an Official First Nation in Canada and Ontario and are quite active politically; compared to Mohawk Nation in the US, recognized in only one band on the same reservation that crossed into New York State. Yonge Street attracted new department stores and small businesses in the late 1800s and business increased through the 1900s, although a recession hit in the mid-1990s.
