Instead of doing Toronto, what you should have done is got up to Montreal for the grand prix, which is where I've been all weekend
Toronto is ok, but like anywhere there are good points and bad points about it.

If you liked Toronto, try Vancouver. Its even nicer
Niagara is a good experience so-so on the Canadian side unbelievably tacky on the American side
The Christmas shop in Niagara on the Lake is amazing! 
Montreal is too close to the frogs
If you do go to Toronto you have to go up to the top viewing platform of the CN tower and look down through your feet through the glass floor to the road 1450 feet or whatever below

So do I I also took a photo between my feet
Oh, and as we were at the top the fire alarm went off. We asked the attendant what to do and she said she didn't know
Great

There's a mirror on the ceiling at the CN tower so you can lie down on the glass and get the photographer to aim at the mirror....you get a nice shot of yourself falling froma great height

I've got a picture of me and my gf laying on the glass floor of the CN Tower. The photographer told us to pretend we were terrified. Unfortunately I was rather too convincing and everyone who sees the picture thinks I was actually terrified.
Having said that, I found it more difficult to stand on the glass than I did jumping out of planes (from higher up), or abseiling out of helicopters. Weird.

Stand on the glass floor? bugger that, jump up and down on it, scares the crap out of others Not that I've *ever* done that of course
Dave,
That xmas shop is just mad, especially when you go in there at the height of summer, rather sunburnt
Have to say that NOTL is well worth a visit, plus check out the Jet Boat tour thingy down by the river (next to the sailing club), rather cool and I'll probably do it next month when I'm down that way.
I've yet to get over to the west coast, but will do so at some point, as others have said it's very nice indeed.

I flew a couple of tight circles around the CN Tower when Toronto International Airport asked me to do a beat-up of their airfield just after I did a display over Ontario Place. Wonder how the tourists enjoyed that
