Hmmm. I wonder why we have no nicknames for the cities in Canada. The closest we get to a nickname is when talking about Toronto; same people shorten it to T-O. There is really nothing remotely cute or representative about it.

The Big Smoke, The Big Apple, The City of Angels. Quite distinct, and most people know exactly where they are.

Does anyone have any more out there?
