Things I've Noticed Now That I Live in Toronto...

I've heard of these mythical Canada Goose jackets/vests/puffer-bomber hybrids but ever since I've moved to the big city of Toronto, it seems like everyone is sporting one of these expensive babies. I'm not exaggerating. A basic parka retails for more than $500 times the 15 people I've seen today sporting one and that's practically almost two years of university tuition. No joke. I seriously don't understand the fascination with these down-filled jackets. Yes, ok, I understand they'll keep you warm, but compared to places like Ottawa or Winnipeg, Toronto doesn't even register on the cold scale. And for $500, couldn't they at least be a little cuter? I mean they're kind of an eye sore... And while I know and am fully aware that I am ranting, I think I'm doing everyone a favor when I say that if you're thinking about investing in one of these expensive pieces, you best be heading to the arctic for a really, really long time.
