Having now lived in both Australia and Canada (and spent some time in Austria and other parts of Europe) I find these rankings confusing.

There are some things that Calgary does very well. This study states that the infrastructure in Calgary doesn't rank but Perth does. I've generally found the infrastructure better in Calgary than in Perth. However, the quality of life (whatever that means) is very close.

Seems to me that there are a lot of subjective variables in a ranking like this.

By the way, it was 37C and sunny yesterday in Perth. Got home from work and jumped in the pool before grilling (not shrimp) on the Barby. Suck it Calgary! And you too Sydney!
