Everybody in Canada would live in this province if they could - Macleans.ca

Cant really say I am surprised. And most would likely also like to live on a fairly small geographic area of said province.

And the three that most people want to live in are where most people live. The three provinces with the highest population, anyway.

Funny thing, Alberta's close to BC's population but doesn't seem ahead of the other provinces.

Maybe it's my eyesight but I see only three distinct colours for BC, Ontario and Quebec and all the other provinces are the same shade as each other, making four. But there are supposed to be six.

I live in Regina SK, I meet a surprising amount of Brits fairly regularly but this place isn't for everyone for certain.

But driving out to the farm, then heading out to the lake is a pretty cool experience, especially ice fishing.

I would not want to live anywhere else. Love it here in my part of BC.

I don't know why people would want to move to an area of Canada that has a 5 month Winter.

DandNHill

Only 5 months you say? 🤔

BristolUK

I thought winter was only around three months long. It's just the snow, ice and cold that lasts longer.

MarylandNed

As opposed to 5 months of cloud and drizzle?

Spectacular scenery but Vancouver is one of the most boring cities I've ever been to.

Stinkypup

Yes but BC isnt just about Vancouver

MarylandNed

Yes, but it's where most immigrants go in BC.

Are there any exciting city's in Canada? The one's I have been too are pretty much all boring for the most part unless one likes outdoor activities.

(Edmonton, Toronto, Whitby, Port Hope, Coburg, Vancouver, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Squamish are the area's I have lived/spent time in.)

Stinkypup

Clarify what you mean by "most" do you mean more than 50% , then yes , it is a massive city with a skewed immigration group (Chinese) compared to elsewhere in BC. Plenty of people move to VI, the Fraser Valley, the Okanagan, Kootenays- your implication is that it is completely Vancouver centric which it isnt.
