Andre66,

You're gonna get a bias decision here, solely based on the country I was born in. Some interesting thoughts mentioned above, here's my 2 cents worth.
You will probably get a better bang for your buck (gillder) in Canada, prices are quite reasonable here.
EXFTE mentioned landing on an aircraft carrier next to the CN Tower.....NOT QUITE.... Maybe on his flight sim.... I've never seen an aircraft carrier in Lake Ontario! The Island airport (now known as City Center) is a bit pricy since you have to pay to park your car, and then pay each way on the ferry back and forth. This little bit of $ does add up after time.

Darryld mentioned not a lot of flying @ his airport locted on the east side of a niced sized lake. That's expected when the wind blows predominently west to east.
Some other airports located just ouside of Toronto would be your best bet. Buttonville is good, as well check out Burlington and Waterloo. All prices are comparable.

Flying in the U.S is excellent as well. Great F.B.O's, fabulous wx in the south, and a huge job market if you can somehow come up with a green card....
