Toronto Chinatown (Downtown Central)
Toronto Chinatown at Dundas and Spadina – one of several Chinatowns across the city – is the Chinatown most tourists go to. Many people come here for Chinese food and bubble tea. You also get the best prices in town for souvenirs, fresh produce, tour packages, foreign exchanges rates and apparel.
Toronto Chinatown is located between Kensington Market and AGO – Art Gallery of Ontario – a short walk west from Dundas Square in the city centre.
Toronto Chinatown gets very busy at weekends and holidays including Sundays and Christmas Day as shops here open 365 days a year.

State Funeral for Jack Layton Held in Toronto
加拿大新民主党党魁Jack Layton率领新民主党在大选中取得辉煌战绩(37席增至103席),多年来首次成为反对党。但他自己却不敌病魔过世。
Jack Layton深受加拿大人民爱戴,所以在人民的要求下,加拿大总理(保守党)同意安排Jack Layton举行国葬仪式(一般只对首相和总督适用)。多伦多市也将一条街道命名为Jack Layton Way。多伦多中央岛渡轮码头也被更名为Jack Layton码头。
Jack Layton的妻子国会议员邹至蕙是来自香港的新移民,曾经长期担任多伦多市议员,深得市民爱戴,连续7年当选《Now》杂志市民最爱的市议员。她当选加拿大国会议员后,于2007年提案要求日本对二战慰安妇道歉,在加拿大国会表决获得一致通过。
“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”— Jack Layton
