I've been to Toronto and Montreal at least half a dozen times each, and I have to agree that I vastly prefer visiting Montreal over Toronto. Toronto is a great city, but Montreal has touches of Europe while being a bigger city that I think blends North America with European sensibilities so well. But, above all, Montreal has hands down some of the best food, consistently, of anywhere I've visited in the world. If you go to an Italian restaurant, it would be shocking if the pasta wasn't fresh made. Every baked good is fresh baked. There's a lot of cool nightlife and it's fun to walk around.

Since I've been to almost all of the cities on this list and I am in specialist in human environment. And I was born and raised in Winnipeg and spent over 10 years of my life in Montreal. Here is my list: 9. Edmonton l, it's basically a larger Winnipeg further away from the United States of America full of rednecks and ring pigs. 8. Hamilton, safer then many, limits in terms of professional sports teams arts and entertainment although is only hours away from major cities such as Toronto, Buffalo and even Detroit. 7. Ottawa, perfect if you want to catch up on your sleep, really great if you can't get a real job and you have to work for the government, and it's not too far away from Montreal. 6. Winnipeg, culturally diverse, very good Arts theater and professional sports, many clean parks and beautiful walkways, just don't get lost in wander into the wrong neighborhood without your pokey device add pepper spray. 5. Quebec City, beautiful architecture and history, nearby skiing and hills to play on, but there are certain type of people then make it a certain type of horrible 4. Toronto, the center of the universe, enough said 3. Vancouver, beautiful nature and Parks interesting modern skyscrapers, but it lacks proper mass transit, and you could step on a syringe. 2. Montreal, the city that has pretty much everything you need and yet the housing is horrible, and the people even worse 1. Calgary, fast growing modern city surrounded by beautiful nature nearby skiing, but it is a city of urban sprawl better bring a pickup truck.

[@stevenkyle9426]

My major consideration of choosing a city to live when I first came to Canada is property price. Before I moved to Canada, I just looked at the housing price of each province and I really seriously considered to live in Fredericton, New Brunswick. But fortunately a lady from a new immigrant service office contacted me and recommended Gatineau, QC, where I am living now. I am really satisfied with this small city. It's just cross the river from Ottawa, I can even see the fireworks set from the parliament hill by simply walking a few minutes to the riverbank. What is amazing is that the house price is only about half that in Ottawa. There are huge Gatineau Park, beach along Ottawa river, safe and friendly neighbourhoods. Just like its slogan, Gatineau pour la vie.

@@charzanboo9940 Learning french from english is not the easiest but also not the hardest. It has a similar but not identical grammar. There is some carry-over in vocabulary, but the french word is usually the lesser used english version, for example "noir" for "black". You can learn to understand it with a headset course like Rosetta, but proper pronunciation requires practice, so at some point you would need to take class lessons if you want to be able to speak it.

Few corrections on Winnipeg: - You won't need a car to live in Winnipeg - the bus service is quite good and reaches most areas of the city. Additionally, the city has invested a lot into bike paths which are great from may to oct. - The mosquito problem is not nearly as bad as the past - with control programs in place, they are still around but nothing like the 90s - Traffic can be bad - there are less cars on the road, but less road infra to move the cars around. - Having lived in a few of Canada's "nicest cities" - given the affordability, beautiful summers, proximity to lakes, and happier friendlier people - I would rank Winnipeg higher.

Once you get into the city, you don't go outside that much. Montreal and Toronto have really planned well around climate conditions. The only US city that's done a decent job is Minneapolis, with their covered skywalks, but Montreal really takes the prize. Plus, Montreal has great nature very close by. People are nice and quite helpful in Montreal, Quebec City, not so much. But to be fair, if I lived in Quebec City, I would be fed up with tourists too.

Dude, I never realized Montreal had so much unique culture. I knew being part of the French-speaking Quebec areas, you had to either learn French before moving or just hope someone nearby is fluent enough in English to help you understand French if you really wanted to and you were able to move there. My grandma, partly of Swedish ancestry, has a friend that lives in Canada, and they call each other a lot, because my grandma’s friend is so fluent in English and French. Not to mention, so many people used to visit our family’s park a lot from across the country because as for the rest of Canada, so many people coming from across the entire populated country of Canada always have some kind of special connection or even interest in what our park holds when they can afford to host it. Still, the cultural statistics of Montreal must be so amazing, that I can hardly wait to actually go there at least just one time and spend some time there to see just how nice a city Montreal must actually be.

I'm 55, lived in 7 provinces, and NOW, my city is Quebec City. My rent is CHEAP compared to the rest of Canada (1200$ for a newly renovated 2 bedroom with utilities included, RIGHT in the old town on St-Jean street... I could get one MUCH cheaper (800$) if I wanted to be a bit out of the downtown core.)... YES, Quebec Province has more taxes, BUT, they also have lots of income tax rebates and refunds, AND they have WAY MOE public services than any other place in the country. Paying a just a few hundred dollars more than in BC every year for twice the services is an easy win... The people are NOT pushed by some work, work, work rat race. It's party and easy living central. Winter is cool because there are lots of activities and events, the summers are REALLY warm (just maybe too humid) and the tourists are only in the downtown core, while the rest of the 800,000 pop city stays the same. French might seem like a barrier to some, BUT it's mostly random ignorance from part-time visitors and Quebec bashers. Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Three-Rivers, and Montreal all have sizable English-speaking communities, schools, and services, and in the rest of the province, at least 1/2 of the people you meet can understand and respond to you in English. It's the SAFEST place in the country, the women are crazy hot, the LGBTQ+ community is really present without noticeable bigotry hitting them, and people just seem to enjoy being nice instead of being ranting whiners. I LOVE this place, and Montreal is only 2:30 hours away by car, train, or bus (or 20 minutes by plane) when I REALLY want to party... I miss Vancouver Island, but after being priced out of there twice, I'm NEVER going back...

But it's just a guess)... I mean it. Everything is cheaper. Even car insurance (you only need to insure for your side... Responsibility for damage you cause is ALL taken charge of by the province).

I'm in Manitoba (former Winnipegger) and we have both one of largest Indigienous populations in Canada (especially in the urban areas) and among the highest if not the highest rates of childhood poverty in Canada. That has huge impacts on everything, from crime rates to school outcomes to substance abuse to generational poverty. It's not unique to Winnipeg, but is acute there simply due to size. Over 75% of the entire provincial population lives in Winnipeg and it's adjacent communities.

How do you determine the rankings? I've lived in Montreal for one year in 90s. The traffic is worst, worse than anywhere else in US. The snow isn't bad, but the cold is brutal, of this list only colder city is QC. I recall driving in winter in MTL and in a 15 min ride to grocery. It was so cold it took 10 mins for my car to warm up. Only area I've spent any length of time in that compares to the cold. Is the ADK's in upstate NY, between Lake Placid/ Saranac Lake. NY's icebox that can compete with the lower 48's West Yellowstone MT which is the coldest in US by far. Do you enjoy that cold, Montreal will give it to you every time in winter. Upstate NY's north country like Watertown will be almost as cold. In places I've lived, picture this lake effect clouds just north of Syracuse. With +5 F , outside of these clouds. Wake up to -30F Watertown, -35F Montreal. This guy is off his rocker. I'd high tail it to Fla for winter, rather than live year round in a place like MTL. And I love cold winter, just not that cold!

In Vancouver, we went to the Capilano suspension Bridge and in Calgary just about over an hour west we went to Banff national park. drive in between those two cities, though was the one thing I disliked, but I guess that’s Canada and things are very spread out and much rural than America, especially the furthest you go from the border.

As someone who has lived or visited all of these cities multiple times (other than Hamilton), I would say this is overall a pretty good list. The only things I don’t entirely agree are Ottawa and Calgary, both of which I believe should be lower. For Ottawa it’s mainly because of how bad the walking and biking infrastructure is, you honestly can hardly get anywhere without being in severe risk of getting run over, and even if you could there are generally very few amenities of any kind on the ground level. As for Calgary, although the general downtown area is actually very nice, the main problem is how unbelievably sprawling the city is due to the massive number of American-style suburbs that offer nothing other than extremely inefficient housing. If you’ve ever had to fly into Calgary you would know what I’m talking about when I say that almost the entire city is composed of single family homes and stroads. But other than that I would say you did a very good job at explaining the general ups and downs of most of the cities, and it was overall a well made video
