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.)

Actually echoliptik,

In 2001 there were 59 murders in Toronto and 78 in GTA.
I dont think 2002 stats have been released yet.

and population number is:

Toronto (city) Total - All persons 2,456,805
Toronto (GTA) Total - All persons 4,647,955

from Statistics Canada 2001

beet1e,

0C right now, and the temp actually goes above 0 during the summer

SLO, remember the weather at the end July? Was hiking on and around Mt. Sutton, 35 C+, High humidity, and about 40 pounds of kit...ouch

Cherlie Montreal is the place to go, Cultural diversity, the women, and the bars close at 3 in the morning

oh and try this http://www.montreal.com
the site is geared more towards tourists but you should find some useful info anyways.

and 50 % of the murders are of Jamacians murdering each other. Take them out of the mix and non spousal murder almost disapears.

I've lived in Alberta all my life.

The winters (except the past few) can be miserable, but winter allows us to do tons of great activities. Every year we would build a backyard rink and have hours of fun. We would stay out there until we couldn't feel our toes......and man it would BURN when they started to thaw:)

I guess you would have to describe the climate, scenery and what you want to do for a living and that might narrow it down. Vancouver is quite expensive. A 100,000 dollar home in Edmonton, Ab is probably 4X more expensive in Vancouver.

Ill second that!

Ive only ever visited sudbury but it really is a beautiful place. You can be inthe middle of the city, and be only a 30 min drive to the middle of nowhere. Its a mineing economy though, so im not sure what the job situation is.

But you can buy blueberries on every street corner in the summer
