Differences:
The differences include lifestyles, climate, and public transportation.
First, Vancouver is unlike Toronto in that the lifestyle is more relaxed
in Vancouver. Torontonians tend to be very busy with their work all the
time; in contrast, Vancouverites are much more easy-going. Next,
Vancouver differs from Toronto in climate. Compared to Vancouver,
Toronto has hotter summers and colder winters. For example, July and
August can bring high temperatures with an average of 31 degrees
Celsius. On the other hand, there are beautiful summers with ample
sunshine in Vancouver, but winter is likely to bring periods of rain, so
people should always bring an umbrella or waterproof jacket. Last,
Vancouver also differs from Toronto in public transportation. Vancouver
has Sky Trains; however, Toronto has Subways.

In short, like people in Vancouver, those are living in Toronto always
go to the clubs, pubs and Famous Players Theatres at night. Vancouver is
also similar to Toronto in number of immigrants and cost of living.
Despite the similarities, Vancouver differs from Toronto in climate,
lifestyle, and public transportation.
