There are tons of reasons to be proud of Toronto, but apparently, some internet users feel a tad differently.

Toronto is a lame city. Toronto is a war zone. Toronto is a hell hole. What is going on here?!

According to Google, these searches are totally legit.

Google uses common and trending search entries to create these suggestions, as well as results that are related to your location and previous searches.

This means that there are people out there —  and not just a few people — who really think Toronto is a dump.

As for the top Google searches about Canada, the results were more reasonable, and of course hilarious.
