Well,two huge advantages that Toronto over Chicago; 1) Canada doesn't have any history of slavery and 2) Canada doesn't share a 1,000 mile long land border with a Third World narco-state.

Canada doesn't have any history of slavery Actually, we do. Upper Canada (now Ontario) was the first British colony to abolish it but it continued in Nova Scotia until the Crown banned the trade in the 1830s. It wasn't a divisive issue, though, because our climate meant that slave-owners had to feed their "property" year-round but could only get work from them for eight months. The life of an unskilled labourer here was summer on a farm, winter at a logging camp.

Not yet, anyway. (Sorry, that line was a gift)

“Canada doesn't have any history of slavery”
Yes it does. Canada had legal slavery for many years. It was abolished in the 1830’s I believe.
The native Americans in Canada and the U.S. also owned slaves.
In fact, every country in world had some form of slavery. The slaves brought to the U.S. were slaves in Africa that were sold to profit their African owners.
