Q: how bad are they over here please awnser I'm scared is it reccomended to go to downtown then?

A: Honestly, Ontario is great for not having LONG periods of rain, or thunderstorms. Yes, we do get the odd one, but honestly, its really not that bad. People complain we barely get rain. Also, when it rains - it only lasts for like 20 minutes, then it goes away. I'm quite thankful for it.
