Quebec and Toronto are both in Canada but they don’t share the same experience when it’s time to explore for a new sensation. First of all, Quebec is smaller than Toronto and almost everyone speak only French while Toronto’s citizen speak only English. The cross-cultural in Toronto add value when it’s time to choose the next journey because we’ll new cultural environment. For me, I would like to travel Toronto before Quebec because we can do more activities and it's an interesting place to visit. Also, this is a bigger city and you will always find a new activity to do every day.

The architecture is more interesting in Quebec because we can’t see any skyscraper at all and we can this interesting historical background. The Frontenac caste is almost 400 years old and you can rent a room in it as well. However, this old building is the most important castle in Quebec and it’s open to the public. Also in Quebec, We have lots of beautiful island and white sandy beaches along our coast. It's a right destination for people who love snorkeling or scuba diving. When it’s time to relax and enjoy the summer Quebec is a great place to visit beautiful landscape. We have several of mountains along with a green mountain ranges and natural lifes. We can see a lot of skyscrapers in Toronto and it’s compact. I can compare it to New York because both are full of life and entertainment. We can always find something to do! I like these cities because the organization is straight forward and simple.

Also, If you recently graduated from university in Quebec. My best bet to find a job is Toronto again. My main reason is with a degree and you can learn quickly how to speak well English you will find your dream job. Perhaps on the short-term period you will earn less money but on the long-term this is a winning bet. Toronto is more expensive if we compare the rent cost to Quebec but the salary is higher. I don’t know yet if this city is really more expensive. Overall, Toronto is a more interesting city because you can speak English and French as well while Quebec is only in French.

Slinky, you are comparing a province (Quebec) to a city (Toronto). That is what we Americans call comparing apples to oranges.
