so what? They can't go everywhere on every tour.
Plus: Seattle, Boston, NYC and Chicago are fairly close to Canada

We should have 38 threads representing each of the U.S. states "snubbed" by the Stones this year.

Let's face it, the weak Canadian dollar is to blame. The Stones want the US $ and that is the main reason no shows in Canada this time. There will not be a second leg so forget about that wishful thinking and get to a show if you want to see them one last time.

There was a point when Toronto became their second home.
Now.....?
Is what happened with the Prime Minister's Mommy, back in the 70's, the reason?

...Maybe they will add a gig, or two, in Toronto after their last gig in Chicago?
The answer to your question is NO. Please save us from the people that want to save us from everything everywhere all the time.Quote

Maybe the Stones promoters were "offended" when the changed the words to the Canadian national anthem to be politically correct, or "gender neutral." Even I was shocked when I heard it at the hockey game. Is there anything immune from all this pettiness.
Changing "sons" to "us" in the national anthem. That outrage was years ago but it was so traumatic some people haven't quite recovered apparently. Nevertheless I doubt it played a role in the Stones' current touring plans.Quote

I live near Toronto and my spouse comes from near Boston.
We purchased tix for Foxboro in June.
A Canadian date would have been great but we didn't get one.
To all of you that think it's an easy commute?
It isn't.
I think a couple of things prevented a Toronto show (or two)
Weak Canadian $$.
Red tape. It's a lot of work bringing the equipment, band and crew over the border for one show. If they could have done a Canadian leg of Toronto, Montreal and Moncton? it may have made sense business wise. Only one border crossing back and forth.
