If you are up in Vaughn working, I still suggest living downtown. Vaughn is a brutal, boring suburb. My gf had to commute up, and it sucks in winter, but at least you are then able to capitalize on the best stuff that Toronto has to offer. Also have a buddy that does it.
Public transit here is actually very good. Even if it is not that easy for you, I would look into it for those brutal winter days. Also, your commute will be against traffic for most days, so it won't be as bad as vice versa. You can also live in some cool areas that are closer to main access points to help shave off driving time if you need. Toronto gets a bum rap, ... also the ratios (girl-boy) are better than Calgary.
