I have spent an average amount in most of the major Canadian cities.
Downtown Toronto is fantastic, vibrant and you can always find something to do. God help you if you live in the burbs.
Montreal, also fantastic. I love that city.
If Ottawa was a color it would be beige.
Winnipeg gets a bad rap. I enjoyed my time there. If you're looking for a city life style, you will be sorely disappointed. It has a certain charm though.
Edmonton is just a bigger Winnipeg, with a bit more culture.
Vancouver is also a fantastic city. The whole area is a playground. For 2 months of the year it is by far the most beautiful city in Canada.
But Calgary is home, it always has been. Even when I was away for 8 years, Calgary was still home. I don't get why people engage in debates or try to convince themselves that their city is better. Everybody gets something different out of where they live.
