You forgot the most important thing, Vancouver has by far the best Sushi.

I was gonna say... I don't necessarily think that Toronto should be in the top 10, but the fact that Kingston and Peterborough are in there make me wonder what those reviewers were smoking (probably some nice BC bud, seeing as how they put Victoria at the top of the list).

Doesn't Toronto consistently make the top 10 places in the world to live list? How can it make that list (Forbes does it I think?) and not this one..lol. I'd like to see the weighting of each category in how they compiled the scores. Something tells me it may be tailored to the....I dunno.....65+ crowd.

Originally posted by Spin Laden 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 http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/...-%20English.pdf http://www.livingin-canada.com/house-prices-canada.html 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... ...or internet/tv

Who bases anything on the price of rent :P lol

Price of owning a home is the most important thing to look at.

And like i was saying before, Vancouver is a beautiful city. Probably one of the nicest cities i've been too. But based on the criteria that it didn't calculate, ie. scenery, the mountains, there isn't much left in Vancouver.

Gang-wise, Vancouver is one of the highest in the Canada. Regina and Winnipeg only have high crime rates, but that's because of the Natives.

Based on the critieria of this article...Vancouver should not be in the top 10.

PS. Funky..here you go :P

you have to look at ALL the variables besides owning a home. Quebec for example takes the cake for affordable real estate, so too does New Brunswick. I'll pass on NB

But indeed it is a significant variable and the article suggests that too. Really, I should be thankful for living here in Ottawa when it comes down to it: low crime rates, relatively good employment rates, low housing costs and best of all, close proximity to Montreal

Toronto would be better if all your sports teams didn't blow. The early success of the FC and Jays is just a facade

ya right this place is so freggin fun...I go there the week before or after LOL for some fun in the sun.
