Toronto traffic sucks

Going for dinner from Mississauga to [edit]Danforth Bloor[/edit] and (essentially) Pape, I expected traffic to suck. But coming back to Mississauga again at 9pm, I didn't expect 25 minutes of stop-and-crawl along the Gardiner. How do people who live here handle the traffic? Ugh.

For the route you mention, it might have been worthwhile (or at least less stressful) to park the car at Kipling and take the subway to Pape.
