This article is intended for young adults at university and without families as shown by the introductory sentence, “...with a creative counterculture to rival the likes Williamsburg and Copenhagen.” This sentence uses the opinion that Toronto is equal to the cities of Williamsburg and Copenhagen for travel destinations. This indicates that young adults who would normally visit these cities while single, at university or during a gap year should instead visit Toronto. The opinion that Toronto’s “creative counterculture” is equal to or better than European cities is intended to appeal to the audience which would take advantage of the counterculture in those cities.
