Driving from Mississauga to Waterloo via Highway 401

[shantibloo]

love your song selection for some reason i love watching videos of driving....relaxes me :p

[daveni2]

Columbia and Weber at the end there. That was quite a storm looked like Tornado material the way the clouds were moving opposite the ground level wind.

Used to live in Toronto. Moved to Kitchener :(

[mikejay007]

Mississauga is a part of the Greater Toronto Area which makes Mississauga like Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Scarborough and Oshawa a suburb of Toronto. Just sayin

[z24baller]

@mikejay007 Markham and Vaughn is in York region. So not part of the gta but in the burbs surronding the gta area. gta is Toronto, Scarborough and Etobicoke and Mississauga. Oakville and oshawa are in too differnt suburbs.

[Kot1234]

@z24baller Actually, you are wrong. York Region is one of the regions which are part of the GTA (the others being Durham, Halton, and Peel), and the City of Toronto. Scarborough and Etobicoke are part of the City of Toronto (along with York, East York, North York, and the old City of Toronto) - they are not individual constituents of the GTA.

[z24baller]

@Kot1234 Damm your right,my bad when I thought greater Toronto area. I thought just Toronto and surrounding divisions scarbrough,missisauga and etobicoke,and north york. But looking in depth its halton,york and part of durham and peel.

[daveni2]

@z24baller The GTA officially goes from Burlington in the west to Clarington in the east and York region to the north, including towns like Orangeville, Halton Region and New Market, york region. What you think is the GTA is the amalgamated City of Toronto with all the ex-boroughs that was The municipality of Toronto. There is Metro Toronto which has almost 6 million people but the GTA actually extends farther than the Census Metropolitan area. Most people don't know this, it's amazing.

[StarszChaser]

nice effort mate :-) worth watching !

[jlmadill]

Too bad Mississauga sucks. It's a big grid of highways, blasee homes and shopping centres. You might go there for square one but in terms of culture it's like a vaccuum. For that reason alone, it's not a city: there's no reason to go there unless you live there.

[MrNotbadyou]

I like the music you use in your driving videos, very relaxing. As much as I dislike driving in Toronto at peak times, driving in the K-W area can be a hindrance too.

[LouAu]

Remember, when it's rainy...SLOW!!!!

[charby09]

lets face it all miss is def still toronto its just an extension of the city classic example of spillover and urban sprawl. Miss did not seperate itself from toronto merely became an extension of the west end. Its still in the GTA just call everything toronto east of guelph and south of the 400 highway 7 merger .

[coolhandcanada]

You clearly don't know what ur talking about. Mississauga is its own city and you should read up about the Greater Toronto Area on wikipedia so see what it consists of.

[samiamred]

@charby09 LOL what? you are soo misinformed. Mississauga is not a simple bedroom-condominium suburb.

And it was definitely not apart of Toronto where are you getting this made up information from.

There mayor was voted the second best in the world....

It's the 6th largest city in Canada, has its own downtown core with extensive corporate and industrial employment opportunities.

I'm from Vancouver and I know this..if your from Toronto wow fail...

[mysatellitea40]

very nice video , i go to waterloo too everyday but from oakville , takes about an hour.

[99pitbulls]

you say in the description that mississauga is a suburb, and waterloo a city? lol mississauga has over 700,000 ppl and is the 6th largest city in all of canada, and waterloo has 100,000...

[Kot1234]

Waterloo cannot be a suburb of Toronto because it is too far.

[frankliu532]

@Kot1234 Yeah.. I don't even consider Mississauga a suburb it does not make sense..its too big has its own downtown core a buzzing business environment

and waterlo...well waterloo and laurier university is there..that's about it lol

[jlmadill]

@frankliu532 and RIM and Dalsa and whole bunch of Canadian success stories -- pretty impressive for a city of only 100k. There's also theatre and an orchestra and an internationally renowned institute for theoretical physics, as well as a centre for international governance... KW is an example of everything that's going well in Canadian urban culture whereas Mississauga, well... it has an 80+ year old mayor.

[thebellrang]

@jlmadill

Yeah, but Hazel's awesome!

[rudedudeP]

its a suburb, it has no downtown, well thats my definition. a town needs a downtown proper.....

[99pitbulls]

mississauga has a downtown now and a pretty impressive skyline

[samiamred]

@rudedudeP it does have a downtown core..its actually quite pretty 

[gwarbo]

dude! parry sound is called a city! it has what? 18 people!

[jlmadill]

@99pitbulls Mississauga to Toronto is like a Yokohama to Tokyo. As this video demonstrates, one might be forced to live in Mississauga but it's always more pleasant to go somewhere else.

[osterman9439]

You too fast

[camus0202]

nice trip!

[PinkChocolat07]

that rain is scary

[abdul456]

u live in my hood too, pretty sick, but yo guy i hate driving on the highways, especially if you head up to niargra falls and there is that bridge you gotta cross that goes over the water n shit.

[rudedudeP]

I live in Guelph, and prefer using Highway 7 and Missisauga Road, its scenic and beautiful out there

[DJSIMPLYP]

yo this is cool man really cool actually i'm from sauga...cool vid hope u do more like it...take care

check out new joints "get ghost" and "raindrops" when u got a hot sec

peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[forum2cracka]

nice video !!!!!!!

[GoLeafsGoBaby]

Nice vid!

I visit Toronto (or GTA) every summer and its a lot different driving there than here in Windsor...which is about 400 kilometers from Toronto.

[mysatellitea40]

nice video , i go throgh the same highway to waterloo reginal airport from oakville .

[FernandoAlonsodotcom]

AWESOME vid, Congratulations buddy, for the great work! =-)

[spongebob555hi]

i love the music and the driving!!!!!!!!! :-),btw i live in waterloo

[seinfeld120]

why dont you go through toronto?

[Kot1234]

Toronto is in the opposite direction, why would I go through it? If you are asking why I didn't start my drive in Toronto, well, it's because I had to stop by Mississauga first :)

[sumitchopra78]

nice video buddy..whats the music you were playing?

[Kot1234]

Thanks :) The music is identified at the bottom of the video's description.

[sumitchopra78]

where i cant find it out? can u mail me the name of the music video? thanks..

[Kot1234]

The names of the songs are:

ATB - Eternal Swells

ATB - The Autumn Leaves

[kevrosmith]

Great work... shame that the weather didn't cooperate for you, but great video all the same. At least the rain cleaned the windscreen!! :-)

Love the music.

Keep the vids of Canada coming!

[Kot1234]

Thanks! More are coming soon :) Unfortunately the windshield has a permanent problem right now (spray paint, long story).

[subtheo]

Awesome video! Brings back a lot of memories, and you chose a very gentle music. Too bad the weather was not with you.

Moved it to my favs :-)

[Kot1234]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the music, I tried to use something that suits the weather :)

[kdmq]

horrible rain lol

[OKBUDDY1]

what car were you driving

[Kot1234]

Nissan Sentra

[aswchris]

Middle lane hogger ;)

[Kot1234]

Hehe I guess sometimes, although I try not to drive slower in the middle lane. On motorways here the right lane is often somewhat risky to drive in because it often splits or suddenly exits, and also in some areas there are many cars entering from the right. On city streets with 3 lanes or more, the right lane often has cars turning right and also has more potholes at the sides :)
