I just moved a month ago to Toronto (I had a thread sometime ago that many CPers chipped in with advice)

It's hard to get over the Western Canada bias, but it's not bad here. Vaughn is outside of Toronto, so the transit system is different and don't necessary connect with each other (ie, you'll need 2 bus passes)
Otherwise, it's like living in the new communities in Calgary, big box stores, large segments of visible neighbourhoods.
I'm moving downtown in 2 weeks, and can't wait to live in a downtown highrise condo

oh, and for expenses. The HST is a bit to get use to (and I'm the type of person that tips a % of the total bill). Mostly, prices are the same before tax. Toronto is huge, so I seen the price of rent or for a home to vary quite a bit. In Vaughn, I imagine the homes there would be quite newer as well
