Let's cut the OP some slack. He's suffering through something totally foreign to him, and struggling to find some connections.
I understand why he's here. It's like meeting someone and mentioning that you're Jewish and from Brooklyn, and their responding, "Oh, you must know my cousin Moshe".
People tend to assume we're part of a community, and therefore must know each other.
The reality is that, even if we narrow the focus to only the Toronto area, the odds of making a connection are pretty lousy.
