If you have have a bad case of the winter blues, you’re not alone.
The research company Environics has crunched the numbers and has found Canadians are suffering from mood swings.
In Toronto, residents of the downtown and inner suburbs like Riverdale and Parkdale are more likely to feel blue, worried about money and failed New Year’s resolutions.
The Globe and Mail said the data also found younger, less wealthy respondents, immigrants and people at a transition time in their lives were also more likely to feel out of sorts.
People who live in the Beach, Forest Hill and Rosedale are feeling pretty good because they were better off, more stable and more likely to own their own homes.
When compared to other Canadian cities, we are much more gloomy than people who live in Calgary and Montreal and almost as gloomy as people who live in Vancouver – so the weather is not solely to blame.

nailed it! bang on!
Must be a REALLY slow news day. Like I know it’s a SNOWDAY but REALLY?
Who’s paying Environics and Globe for this crap? And who approved this for the site?
HEADING: Canadians suffering from mood swings, research shows. This could have been replaced with :
” Poor People and neighbourhoods tend to be more depressed than Rich People, research shows.”
It’s the Have vs. Have Not. If you don’t like something about your state or situation, do something about it. Getting depressed won’t make it go away. If you are on the other end of the spectrum, be humble for what you and give back what you can.
Of course Calgary and Montreal are more upbeat, they don’t accept a nanny state and actually LIVE a little and go with the flow. Vancouver is depressed cause they can’t win the CUP every year. We be happy to just make the playoffs finally!
