D,
One can argue the rational to stay/ leave scenarios forever.
There is a point that you have to prepare at least to evacuate.
The majority of people will be staying in TO because they don't know any better. I worked in TO for years but commuted from Barrie. I never once felt 100% safe in that city on a good day let alone a real bad situation.
2-3 million people fighting over 1 muffin from Timmy's is not a pretty sight. I question the reason you live there in the first place when there are options as stated above.
I got out of that rat race and am better for it.
To each his own.
Mike
