  • He started from the bottom and now homegrown star Drake is bringing in some serious cash for the 6ix. One marketing expert claims he’s increased tourism traffic significantly in Toronto

    My coworker went to New York City for vacation and ate a restaurant and told the waiters and waitresses they were from Toronto. The waiters and waitresses freaked out that they’ve “breathed the same air as Drake.”

      Marven 316 yeah because of drake. Toronto really got attention by 2009 when drake started to have fame
      He brag about toronto a loot in song and interview so it helped
      In the 90s and early 2000s. If i spoke to a japaneese. Thailandeese. Russian. German. And told them i lived in toronto
      They didnt know it. They only always knew vancouver/british colombia because of hollywood movies. And niagara falls because it was marketed as beauty to see by tv lol

    • @mathewvanostin7118
      @mathewvanostin7118 6 лет назад +1

      the legend lol iran is very immigration concentrated. Everyone there are desperatly looking to immigrate. Thats why they know toronto. But also montreal. Winnipeg. Halifax etc
      Because iranian do tons of research on their immigration options. You guys are even visas specialists 😆
      On my experience on the 90s 2000s. When i was travelling and meet foreigner. For example a japaneese women. She didnt know toronto at all. But knew vancouver/british colombia. And niagara falls
      Same for korean. Russians. Greeks. Portuguese etc
      Only by 2009 with drake. Suddenly everyone knows toronto. It was the most profitable free marketing ad ever
      When 500 millios people worldwide know you and listen to your songs. And this singer brags about toronto..it makes the city known & make people take a look at the city for potential tourism

    • @mathewvanostin7118
      @mathewvanostin7118 6 лет назад +1

      the legend maybe its YOUR case. And YOUR family case
      But majority of iran in the 90s knew montreal. Halifax. Winnipeg. Etc. Because they all wanted to immigrate out of iran
      Ohh you have luxury to choose from states & germany. Wow iranian passport must be powerfull 😂
      Being accepted as immigrant is hard. Germany & states were among the favourite. But the guarantee you get accepted in those countries are 1%
      So you had to look up less popular countries to immigrate. Less popular cities
      Use your head a bit. You want to immigrate out of iran to a rich country. Risk to be accepted is hard. What do you do?
      Look up for less popular countries. Less popular city
      An iranian that succed immigrating in halifax canada. Won! He got access to a rich country standards of live
      Furthermore, i have tons of persian friends. And 2 persian ex. So they also told mee all that 😆

    His promotor meant to say that Drake is an individual who has a lot of religiou$ narcissism. He made bank promoting that because narcissism is more commonplace than people seem willing to admit. Other than that, he seems like a nice guy really. Drake, theres no actual afterlife. Not expecting a reply really from narcissists, so I'll offer your reply as your not going to, though your more than welcome to using your own words, why choose to prophet off of that less than sincere most narcissistic narrative? Because it work$.

      That's his lookalike he hired to make paparazzi thinking he is in Toronto.
      The guy can't stand Toronto, he think it's a village and I don't blame him. All the fun is in LA,NY and Rio.

    He's trying to be for Toronto what Prince was for Minneapolis. Thing is, with Prince he didn't have to try so hard and I don't think he really cared that he was 'Prince from Minneapolis' whereas Drake shows up at any big entertainment or sporting event in Toronto to promote himself. He's artificial and he's all about selling his brand.

    Dear Canadian news reporters,
    Please stop trying to sound hip and cool by referring to the greater Toronto area as "THE SIX". You are not MTV news. You are supposed to be a professional Canadian news organization, this kind of vernacular is beneath you.
    I say this as a black Torontonian who is a fan of Drake, a fan of rap music and someone who talks in slang and profanities 7 days a week. I am not someone who fits comfortably in a corporate environment but yet i try my best to speak and behave in a professional manner during my work hours.
    At the risk of sounding a bit pretentious, you might think you are endearing yourself to "us" but you just come across as incredibly cringe worthy.
