Toronto: Europe without the Pretty Buildings?

Heh. That's pretty much the description by Megan McArdle though not really in a complimentary way in thinking about why Americans like Europe: "Without the pretty buildings, what would often most strike Americans is the cramped space and a succession of petty inconveniences. "

She may be right - I've often thought that Toronto lacks much of the character that other cities I've visited. The two must sees for visitors seem to be Niagara Falls which isn't even in Toronto and the CN Tower.
