Top Canadian Cities

by MaxPower

So a little while back I posted the worst/best cities in the US according to crime stats and D4V asked what the list would look like for Canada. Well here is a similar list - out today - of a ranking of the 27 cities over 100,000 people in Canada, based on economy, health, society, housing, environment, innovation and education. Burn on Montreal ranking behind the 'Toon. Linkage to the survey. I find it interesting that Vancouver placed 3rd when many international studies rank it as "the best place to live in Canada". Different weightings I guess.
