Toronto - if you don't know why, you should move there, you will fit right in

Despite it being my original first choice, I wouldn't fancy Calgary much.

With that comment you obviously haven't been to Calgary in a very long time

Thats right. Calgary is 25% visible minority.

Unless it was a reference to the snow.

Believe me he's spent years perfecting his image as crazy red neck man of the woods, he doesn't appreciate it when I point out he grew up in Scarborough Oddly enough he doesn't like me much and thinks I should go back to Ireland

All major Canadian cities have their problems, I haven't been to them all but I wouldn't fancy Vancouver much. Over rated, over priced & too much traffic for my liking.

This is a difficult question because there is so much of Canada.

I didnt like Edmonton much, nor Toronto. I can vaguely remember Calgary being like central London and empty during the non office hours (it was along time ago).

Quebec city was nice

For me Moncton didn't live up to it's reputation

I would imagine living in any one of the one-industry towns (paper mills etc) where the key employer has closed, is not much fun.
