thinking about moving to Canada yet I can't find any websites about the cities and information.

Isn't Vancuver (SP) meant to be the highest HIV in the world?

Also what the standard of living is like eg price of taxes, internet (cable or not)

thanks
CB

If you like lots of rain...move to the west coast. BUT...it is also very beautiful and has some of the best skiing in the world in the mountains. Haven't lived there, but almost did.

I've heard Calgary is nice...but COLD in the winter.

I lived in Toronto almost 12 years. Fantastic city...kind of like New York, but smaller and (dare I say it) safer. It can be tough to meet people there, but once you find yourself a circle of friends it really is a great place to live.

Quebec... Oh no don't go in there!

East Coast...Heard great things about Halifax.

Montreal has a higher ratio of hotties than any city I have visited in North America.

Don't get me wrong..there is nothing wrong with "visiting" Quebec.

I really enjoyed Montreal and I especially like Quebec City. Still wouldn't want to live there.

There is definately a hot girl factory here in Montreal. I've lived out west and in the middle. Culture- go east, nice weather and outdoor activity- go west. Not sure about standard of living etc, except that we are usually rated the top country in the world to live in. Cable internet is usually between $30-40 Canadian. Taxes suck azz, medicare is good (relatively).

ok well consider9in i live in vancouver i can tell u lots about it
i'll tell u that YES it does hv a high HIV rate, BUT thats only in the downtown east side, basically, the potato houses and homeless..
vancouver has exactly what ur looking to move into, u want a condo? got lots of those...apartments, damn straight, older homes, newer homes...u name it
Vancouver has everything, except, it doesnt have that much of anyhting to do, dont get me wrong it has lots to do, but many ppl who live in vancouver seem to be looking for somehting to do...mind you, other cities arnt that far away to visit....Seattle, Calgary, Edmonton...

anyway

Actually it's about 3 million people. It's only 4 million if you count Mississauga, Brampton and Vaughan.

We had 60 murders in 2002, which was I believe the highest in recent history.

I've lived in the city for a long time and, despite the usual griping about anything and everything that Canadians do, I love it here. (Love the city anyway. The country? The federal government? That's a story for another time.)
