Can't figure out if you're being sarcastic. Just in case you weren't: this part of the world was heavily industrialized up until about 1990. They don't call Toronto 'The Big Smoke' for nothing. From century old auto manufacturing in Oshawa in the east, to the steel plants of Hamilton in the west, and factories of every kind in between. Toronto may be a cosmopolitan white collar city today but it's history is blue collar.
