If they mated.Civic comparisons.
Alright simple idea.
Which two cities can your city be compared to.
I.e. St john's is what would happen if fairbank Alaska and boston had a baby.
Toronto is what happens when Detroit and New York make a baby.
Montreal is if new Orleans, and Baltimore had a baby.

Detroit? Jesus... More like New York and Chicago.
Halifax is if Boston and St. John's had a baby.

St. John's is the result of result of Waterford and Bristol having a baby. Literally, historically, actually.

I was going to say Scranton and Pasadena, but yeah.
Edit: I guess that would be more Waterloo than Kitchener.

Moncton: If Markham and Mississauga had a baby.
Kidding. If Mississisauga and Fredericton had a baby.
Halifax: If Toronto and Saint John had a premmie.
Charlottetown: If a strip mall got a bad case of... kidding. If Wexford and Brighton had a baby.

Nah, Moncton would be the result of a romantic tryst between Bangor (ME) and Rimouski.

Yeah, there is almost nothing that is Detroit-esque about Toronto.
Even the better aspects of Detroit have little resemblance to Toronto.

Toronto might be the love child that Shanghai or Hong Kong had with Chicago.

I don't think you could describe Toronto as a union of two places.
It's kind of just what happens if you get a bunch of Protestants together in that time period.

In some parts Montreal is like Philadelphia meets Edinburgh as well.
