Best city in Canada

I have been to a few, I still like Halifax the most.
Its Clean, its not overly large nor is it to small, there is lots to do in the summer and the bar scene and club scene is really good even when up against Toronto and bigger citys. It got a East Coast feel to it, and is really easy going.

Re: RE: Best city in Canada
So your from Eastern Passage? I was a member at Hartlen Point golf club for a few years when I was growing up in Dartmouth. My mother and sister currently live in a house next to the refinery.
Saw the area last year on my first visit back there in about 19 years. At least it didn't seem to smell as bad as I'd remembered :lol:

I would say from being across Canada three times. That it ranks down as
Toronto
Montreal (Birth city)
and finally Halifax.

I'm torn between Halifax/Dartmouth where I grew up with it's great history, pubs, and quieter lifestyle and Calgary where I lived for 13 years.
I like Montreal for the ambiance but Calgary for the location. I moved to Calagary because i like to hike, backpack, mountainbike and so on a few minutes fron the city but Calgary is sterile next to Montreal.
Run me over before making me live in Toronto. yuck!
Re above: Nanaimo is fine but I wouldn't want to be stuck on the island. I lived a while in Comox and folks were constantly back and forth to the mainland.

We have been retired for going on ten years. We spent the first seven on Gabriola Island. Gabriola is a great place but we decided we needed civilization. We considered moving back to the lower mainland but we decided that Nanaimo had everything that the mainland offered. All the big stores are in Nanaimo. Our children live in Vancouver and we go and see them once a month. They come to see us once a month as well so we are quite happy. And as I said, Victoria is a two hour drive away so we have the best of all worlds. As you can see, I'm convinced..

You can get to Victoria in two hours. It only takes me around about an hour to an hour fifteen. Weird.

It is a hundred and ten kilometers from Nanaimo to Victoria. That sounds like something just over an hour would be reasonable. It is not. In the normal traffic, you have a very hard time averaging much better than sixty or seventy klicks. If there is any kind of hold up on the Malahat, the trip could take over two hours. I have made the trip from Nanaimo to Victoria in an hour and twenty minutes, but that is not the normal trip.

Ah okay. Thanks. Yeah if you factor in the traffic on really buzy days and if anything happens it could be two hours.
