are you kidding me? Burlington is a great place to live. In terms of schools, property value, safety, sense of neighbourhood etc, getting a doctor/dentist, amenities etc. It has tonnes of parks and easy access to both Toronto and Hamilton. Great public transit too.
I am confused as to why Oakville didn't make the list, as Burlington and Oakville are almost identical
+1
Burlington is quite nice. quite white. Lived there my whole child hood.
How the fuck did Winterpeg make the top 10?

i think you said the key word.... white.
majority of the cities listed are mostly caucasian population.

How they could factor in crime and place Kingston on the top 10 is absolutely beyond me

I went to Nelson HS for my senior year. As far as I remember, out of 1300 students that year, there were 17 visible minority kids. But Nelson was the worst. very money, very waspy neighbourhood

Def told wrong. Prices are through the roof in Vancouver (no pun intended)

Yeah Vancity is disgustingly pricey.
Really not surprised that Toronto didn't make top 10.

I went to Central High downtown, from grades 7 - 12. Same issue. Bairly any minorities, not as 'money' oriented of a school though.

actually Toronto had highest AVERAGE rental rates for 1 bedroom, you will pay about $100 more in TO than in Vancouver, and Toronto was about $300 more than Montreal. Ouch. Now if we are talking about buying, Vancouver is in an astronomical class of its own
Vancouver's gang-related murders have spiked but the city usually has a lower crime rate than say Winnipeg or Regina. I think it's finally cooling off now.
Toronto is typically the best for work, Vancouver the best for outdoor leisure and sightseeing (by far) and Montreal the best for nightlife, imo. I wish I could live in all three simultaneously for those reasons, not Ottawa/Kabul
The rest of Canada is one big giant meh if you're currently not busy with pressing domestic committments like family/kids...
