Money Guy suggested that there may be no better city than Edmonton to spend summer in. Even if you want to measure quality of summer life solely by the number of festivals, there are dozens and dozens of cities in the world with more and bigger and older festivals than Edmonton. That is not a criticism of Edmonton. Its just an observation.

The same will be true of practically any other objective measure of quality of summer life in a city.

Now, purely subjectively, its entirely possible that a person might prefer to spend their summer in Edmonton (if, for instance, all of their friends and family live there and spending time with friends and family is the most important thing to that particular person.) However, I don't understand that to be what Money Guy was referring to (because there isn't much point in discussing purely subjective things like that.)
