I arrive in the Toronto airport around 8 a.m. and leave that night on VIA Rail. What should I do/see while I am Toronto?

Plenty to see/do in Toronto the Good/the New York-Chicago of Canada!
It depends on your interests but downtown around Union Station you have the CN Tower/ on a clear day the view is on a par with the Willis Tower or Empire State Building/ the Rogers Center the Domed Stadium with a Hotel inside where the Blue Jays play Baseball/ the Hockey Hall of Fane right downtown is worth a look! You can also get a Day Pass for the GO Train System (Commuter Rail/ Bus System) and sight see all over the Greater Toronto Area!(they run as far as Niagara Falls, I like the Route to Oakville)) and the Subway runs right into Union Station also!
Yorkville, while now Very upscale, is the Greenwich Village of Canada with Clubs, eating joints ,pubs etc.
Of course there are literally thousands of restaurants, stores of all kinds, tall buildings, Canada's Wall Street, the Ontario Legislature Area is worth a look also!
Another neat thing is to jump on a Ferry out to the Island where the small Commuter Airport is located
Don't forget since you're on the Canadian you can leave your Luggage in the Panorama Lounge in Union Station while you visit Toronto! Lastly there is Construction going on inside and all around Union Station so if you're not familiar with the layout of this busy old Jewel ask employees and you might want to use a RedCap to board the Canadian that night!
