I personally love Ottawa and Vancouver.
Ottawa is a "little big city." Some people will find it boring compared to say San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, or New York, but I like the size. Lots of culture, lots of history. The humidity is a bear in the summer, and of course winter is C-O-L-D. Public transportation is... well, it works, but it is getting overcrowded. Driving is certainly an option, although parking will cost you.
Vancouver is such a wonderful mix of everything I love in a city - new, old, business, residential. You have access to a major airport, you are a fairly short drive from the US, and the scenery is breath-taking. The biggest downside is that it is TERRIBLY expensive to live there. The weather is also kinda wet a lot of the time.

Victoria Number One, Vancouver Number Two, Calgary number three. Here's why: Both Victoria and Vancouver are beautiful, sophisticated cities in breathtaking surroundings. Ever been to New Zealand? It looks a bit like that, but with more fir trees. The climate is mild winters barely touch zero Celsius. For Canada, that's really cozy. Calgary: Also sophisticated, and beautiful scenery, but with the added attraction of a very dry climate. Cold though! Minus 40 not unheard of.

Ottawa, Ontario Canada, The Capital. Its so beautiful. Its located right on the border of Ontario and Quebec which at this location the Ottawa river runs through it, which has spectacular wild rapid rides. Our Parliament buildings loom over this majestic site, they look slightly like the British one in London. Ottawa has the worlds longest skating rink, tulip festival in the spring, the tulips where a gift from Holland thanking Canadians for letting their Queen stay here during the war. This is a very family orientated city. Great parks and bicycle paths gal lore.

If I had the money, I'd spend time in a few places in Canada throughout the year. I'd like to spend the winter, say from Jan to May in BC, somewhere along the coast with my own float plane. A seclulded cove that I had to fly in and out of, no neighbours. From the end of May until the end of September I'd alternate between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Then, end of Sept to the middle to end of Dec I'd spend in Ontario for the fall colours.
If I had truly unlimited funds, I'd have places around the world I'd go to.. New Zealand, Australia, UK, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Fiji.

I was born and raised on P.E.I., great place to raise a family, lived in Montreal, beautiful city, lived and worked out of Edmonton for 17 years, lots of work, looneytune Premier, spent 5 winters and 3 summers in the N.W.T. , great fishing, lots of work, met and married a B.C. girl in the Okanagan of B.C. another beautiful area but too hot in summer. Lived in Toronto in the 70's, too many people, smog, and very humid in summer, lousy freeways. I chose to move to New Brunswick along the coast to raise our boys. The price of a home is cheap here compared to many places in Canada, crime is low, the beaches are great, winters are reasonable, our kids can make a future here, the schools are good , low property taxes, and the people are friendly. For a young couple starting out, there is work in the west, land and houses are cheaper in the Maritimes. Depends on your proirities.

Toronto. I've been abroad for a while now and I really miss it.
I've lived in Ottawa too, but Toronto has much more to offer- there's always something going on and a really diverse range of people, places, and things to eat!

i'm getting that question each and each of the time. after I tell human beings i'm from Canada (at the same time as travelling) they ask what its like residing in an igloo, and using a canines sled. because, once you hit the 40 ninth parallel, it starts snowing.
