Be careful going over the border, Canadian customs jacked my shit, forced me to give them passwords to laptop and iPad. They threaten to seize my laptop if i didnt and get some computer tech to crack it open. They will lie, say your were nervous acting to justify going through.
Felt like I was going to Iran. I guess Al Qaeda tried to setup shop in their country, people going to training camps in Pakistan.
They went through all my porn and released some contents out publicly. Definitely use truecrypt. Give them the password to bullshit files, not the hidden or don't take it over the border, you can access the Internet at library.

Are you a felon, bruh?
I cross the border at least 10 times a year and never experienced this treatment.
Here is what you can expect to see.... In abundance...I spend 2 months up there this summer..
... HAD FUN!!!! Went to Montreal but it wasnt the same....Not for me...HAVE FUN!!!

Just went for the first time and I'm definitely going back. The sights and people were cool and the women were on point. Gotta hit the club next time though.
I've had a similar experience, I was arrested for having a bat in my trunk and not declaring it as a weapon.

You should have been. Rules are rules.
the canadian dollar is usually worth a little more
question, i don't wanna get hit with charges with my cellphone so my question is, where can i get a sell phone with prepaid data(a gig maybe) and a few minutes and text? I know verizon uses telus' cdma but last time i was in canada(montreal) t-mobile hit me with a bill for an extra 145 bucks even tho i made no calls, answered no texts and used no data and kept my phone off... not tryin to get bill shock again...can i get a phone through telus?
also where can I find cheap hotels with wifi near pearson airport? and how far is that from downtown since i'm gonna be a tourist for a bit and is there public transit or only use cabs?

1. you can get a prepaid cell from the gas station, truth be told Rogers Bell and Telus have a fuck up monopoly on cell phones in Canada and the bull shit government has laws that allow them to fuck us over, Canada has the worst cell phone plans in the g7 and even worst cell phone plans the most developing countries... the easy why to get around it is to call your cell phone provider and ask if they have a north america plan or Canadian roaming plan and pay for it for the month and cancel it when you get back to the US
2. Check out Hotwire.com and see if you can get a hotel downtown, The TTC (Toronto Transite Commission) is on point. if you are going to be here for a week you can get a day pass and get around pretty easily when your here, the subway is OK and the bus run on time and frequent, but the Air Port is a bit away from the main city so if you can get something downtown for cheap take it, even if its more expensive to be downtown it is well worth it.
Bump for more info. Do you need a passport to enter Canada? Or any extra kinds of identification? And are these good deals for Caribana: http://www.caribanatoronto.com/hotelpackages
you need a passport since I think 2008 or so.
You need a passport or you can get the enhanced drivers license.. either one will be sufficient. If you are booking your hotel early like within the next few weeks...then you can get away with cheaper rates on rooms downtown and there are plenty of other events going on from the ones they have listed that you can get tickets online from... other than that it is a decent package

How is it getting around Toronto? Is it like a NY/Chicago where I won't be needing a car, or is it more like LA/Houston?
(I'll be up there for Caribana, staying downtown)
If you are staying downtown for Caribana then you can def get away without having a car the subway systems is pretty good along with the street cars so you can def get around downtown and to the lakeshore for the parade and nightclubs etc. What hotel/area you staying by?
One King West....Financial district; corner of King St and Yonge St.
Seemed like a pretty central location, is this true?
Yea you right in the heart of the action bro Younge St @ night will be filled with alot of activity and ppl hanging around plenty of chicks to holla @, and your not far from Richmond st where alot of the clubs are
@ Dade.. Dude where the hell did u find those pics...
wow... We have much better looking chicks than that up here... keep that American accent popping and u should get a lot of snatch...

Looking at the events on the various websites, most parties are tryna get you to purchase tix online warning of sellouts. Are sellouts really a problem? I'm leery of advanced ticket purchasing as I can't be sure where I'll want to go and I don't know who I'd be giving my money to.

there is usally a massive party at The Government/Kool House or The Docs/Polson Peir
Per-purchase those ticket if you want to go to those parties because if you don't it will be like 100 at the door form a scalper. Personally i think it better to end up at this hot reggae bar call Tyhmeless it will have the best music and it won't be expensive. clubing in Toronto that weekend is FUCKED UP everybody in the club is mad because they paid so much to get in, had to wait for sometimes hours in line, a security are ASS HOLES... your better off finding a cool lil club and partying
Thanks a lot for the responses.
I'm thinking of doing this one:
http://www.caribanatoronto.com/event/vippass
It's $85 for four events, and they claim VIP line bypass for three of the events...y'all know anything about these? Good idea? Or set up for frustration? (I've seen promoters in other situations completely fuck up these kind of deals and you have no real recourse if they do, but then I've seen it work flawlessly)
One of the main reasons I'm considering this is cuz I may choose to skip one of these events and go to a "cool lil club" as y'all mentioned on at least one night....this pass would just be a way to hedge my bets. I'll want to try one of these mega parties, but they kinda seem like the same party every night, so I'd bet I'd wanna switch it up.
$85 to qualm my indecisiveness is worth it to me....if it works as advertised. An experiences with these? Or, have they gained a good/bad rep?

I have heard that they mostly are pretty solid at honoring them.. They are pretty well known with the promoters so you should be good if you buy it... As far as switching it up most def bro you cant go wrong with that...
this is a good buy but the VIP pass will be with 1000+ people you will wait in line, it will however beat the 5000 people line and 45 dollar admission, this is one of those packages that if you don't want to go you can just sell your ticket at the door to someone else
i'll be up there in 2 weeks, what the weather looking like this time of the year? Highs in the low 80's or high 70's I presume 
I see when yall was talking about caribana yall said stay downtown... I'm assuming that's the place to stay still...
i just need to know where do the women be on the weekend the mall or park or downtown walking around? an what's the biggest most known club, coming from the A, I like big clubs
