Default Quality of Living Survey
Mercer has published their 2006 Quality of Living Survey of the top 50 cities in the world to live.

Obviously the quality of a city's hockey team wasn't one of the evaluation criteria, otherwise Vancouver wouldn't have been rated so highly.

Calgary comes in at number 25. Edmonchuk is no where to be found.

Calgary beat out such notables as London & Paris as well as the Big Apple

You have to open the pdf file found here:

Germany and Switzerland both with 3 in the top 10. Switzerland with the top 2. The European countries seem to have done well.

Canada with 5 in the top 25. That's not too shabby.

LOL and Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal have a better QOL than Calgary. That must bite.

Actually hard to believe both Dublin and Berlin's QOL is better too.

Man, they must not take into account 'Boringness' when judging these cities. Zurich is boring as hell.
