- Ranking EVERY Big City in Canada from WORST to BEST! We already Ranked the Top 10 Best Provinces & Territories to live in Canada for 2023, so now these are the best and worst cities to move to!
➽ Join our Discord Server!: / discord
► Ranking Every Canadian Province from WORST to BEST - • All 10 PROVINCES in CA...
► All 50 States in America RANKED Worst to Best - • All 50 STATES in AMERI...
In order to determine which Canadian cities are the best (and worst), we first separated them into different groups based on their size:
Big Cities (Metropolitan population OVER 800,000 residents)
Medium Size Cities (Metro population between 200,000-600,000)
Small Cities (Metro population UNDER 200,000)
I then analyze a few categories including their economy, cost of living, crime and safety, health, education, and quality of life. We also implemented my personal experiences and the pros and cons of each location to find the best places to live. There will be a new video for EACH city size group, so be on the lookout for them!
My biggest suggestion is to visit these cities and provinces first to decide where you want to move to and live.

Why did you stop posting on iron mango?
I would love to see best medium and small cities in Canada
I've been to Toronto and Montreal at least half a dozen times each, and I have to agree that I vastly prefer visiting Montreal over Toronto. Toronto is a great city, but Montreal has touches of Europe while being a bigger city that I think blends North America with European sensibilities so well. But, above all, Montreal has hands down some of the best food, consistently, of anywhere I've visited in the world. If you go to an Italian restaurant, it would be shocking if the pasta wasn't fresh made. Every baked good is fresh baked. There's a lot of cool nightlife and it's fun to walk around.
Yessir
Montreal is a great place to visit but Toronto is vastly better to live in. It’s the corporate capital and has a way better economy and opportunities.
@@michaelsims1160no Mtl better, just cope you illegal
@@michaelsims1160 That's precisely the work to live and live to work difference between the two cities. When I'm on my dying bed, I'd rather be able to say that I enjoyed my life as opposed to say that I'm glad I gave my life to a company.
@@michaelsims1160 nah Toronto is way to big to live in and if you can speak French Montréal is one of the nicest cities in the world I think
My parents who used to RV all over told me Quebec City was the prettiest city they ever saw so hopefully see it myself soon.
It's GORGEOUS!!
When you visit, don't miss Ile d'Orléans. It's so charming with the orchards and vineyards.
@aerixoxo_ Quebec City is pretty good as long as you don't go to to Ste-foy or anything surrounding Laval University, appart from those 2 places, it's pretty good
@aerixoxo_You can access forests and mountains with just a 15 minute ride from Québec city. How is it a typical north American suburb?
@@Ocoro_ Ste-Foy and Laval university actually isn't that bad when you compare these burroughs to Vanier or St-Roch, these two can get way worse.
As an American, having been to all these cities, let me rank as a tourist:
9. Toronto - I couldn't breathe
8. Winnipeg - Not horrible, but plains cities are not my favorite
7. Hamilton - Industrial, but harmless.
6. Edmonton - Some aspects were great, but way spread out.
5. Calgary - Well, I like rodeos, so...
4. Vancouver - Stunning, but damp
3. Ottawa - Surprisingly pleasant, but I stayed in Gatineau, actually.
2. Montreal - Charming and versatile. A great town to explore.
1. Quebec - Everything I said about Montreal x10.
Calgary is way more spread out than Edmonton is.
@@michaelhockaday7426Calgary is just another boring western Canada city like Deadmonton.
@tod537 western cities are better than eastern ones. With a couple exceptions. Ottawa and Quebec City are decent. Otherwise, the west has all the better ones.
Quebec City is easily one of the most beautiful cities in North America and the world too, its a world heritage site.
Absolutely agree Montreal is an amazingly unique city...architecturally, culturally, amazing food, fashion, endless festivals, cool laid back anything goes attitude...a world class transit system..cheap rents..open minded " laissez faire"" attitude. Montreal is Canada's gem....
And as someone who's been to Calgary several times, I think it's a bit overrated ! Calgary's cost compares with Vancouver but given a choice I'd live in Vancouver !
Calgary’s cost is nothing like Vancouver. It’s, yes, much more expensive these days than years ago, but Vancouver’s cost has also gone up.
I lived for a year 😂
Quebec City has much more friendlier people. Case closed.
@@SirManfly Shut the door on your way there.
My major consideration of choosing a city to live when I first came to Canada is property price. Before I moved to Canada, I just looked at the housing price of each province and I really seriously considered to live in Fredericton, New Brunswick. But fortunately a lady from a new immigrant service office contacted me and recommended Gatineau, QC, where I am living now. I am really satisfied with this small city. It's just cross the river from Ottawa, I can even see the fireworks set from the parliament hill by simply walking a few minutes to the riverbank. What is amazing is that the house price is only about half that in Ottawa. There are huge Gatineau Park, beach along Ottawa river, safe and friendly neighbourhoods. Just like its slogan, Gatineau pour la vie.
Did you know French before moving? If not, did you learn it? How difficult was it? And what method(s) did you use? Thanks in advance.
@@charzanboo9940 Learning french from english is not the easiest but also not the hardest. It has a similar but not identical grammar. There is some carry-over in vocabulary, but the french word is usually the lesser used english version, for example "noir" for "black". You can learn to understand it with a headset course like Rosetta, but proper pronunciation requires practice, so at some point you would need to take class lessons if you want to be able to speak it.
I visited Ottawa once and we stayed in an AirBnB in Gatineau
@@charzanboo9940 yes, I learnt French in China before moving to Canada. I passed the test TCFQ , got niveau B2 and applied for the Quebec program. But the problem is the Quebec accent. I know a lady who comes from Paris and she told me she needs quite some efforts to get used to the quebecois accent.
@@Cheesecraft612 Gatineau is a nice place to live. Especially when you know the house price is only half that in Ottawa😄
As a Torontonian… he got Montreal #1 right 👍🏽
Ummm no lol
Totally. Montreal has so much civic pride, nature features and always something interesting happening
@@mateoruddock3056yes you are just acoustic
@@alexmorin8703 what???
@@mateoruddock3056 Toronto is terrible City
As a Vancouverite the cost of living in the city is definitely the biggest knock on what is arguably one of the best cities in the world. There's a reason why it has been voted one of the best for many years. Like many big cities it has its fair share of other problems but it's a city once you spend time here you probably don't wanna leave.
Absolutely agreed.
Unfortunately the demand of owning a piece of lot keep climbing but the land is limited in Vancouver
Montreal better stay mad
Why are there so many Vancouverites moving to Calgary or Edmonton? LOL
Cost of living and the rain is depressing too. I'd rather it be bone chilling cold but sunny like Winnipeg rather than gray and rainy even if it's warmer.
Why do Americans make it seem like Canada is in a constant state of winter? Most of the country's climate isn't that different than much of the United States'!
That’s news to me lol
Northern states have same cold weather. Only the south has nice weather.
Im from Quebec that’s news to me too 😂😂
@@user-rw8cv8yv8y if that‘s the case, how is it that Ontario and BC have wine industries?
I wouldn't say "Most" but certainly the norther US states are very similar. Thats why it was so cool to see Southern Florida vs Edmonton in the Stanley Cup finals, couldn't be more different of places climate wise

The nature in Canada is really beautiful!
It truly is!
It used to be, but going downhill just like everywhere else.
@@istvanglock7445it’s only nice in the north now
As a 30y canadian who visited all of them excepted Edmonton, I must admit that ranking feels perfectly right. Loved the driving/walking footages, did walk at many of these exact places actually. Loved the tone. Great work ! Hopefully we hit that 3k likes and get a sequel.
I also agree with almost everything but would push Ottawa back to 5th position.
Being from Edmonton they never show the river valley and focus on the mall mostly. The river valley trails are my favourite part of the city. The roller coaster was my second but they're tearing it down.

@@michaelsims1160 A?
Western Canadians don’t drink milk from a bag, never did.
The vibe of Montreal clearly had an impact on him while visiting and that makes me smile. Great video!
dude it had an impact on me when i went, the girls there are so beautiful compared to here in Nova Scotia, also the churches were amazing
@@e-1074 the catholics ran quebec for a while after all
@@PoeticMistakes The churches ran everything in post-conquest Quebec (1759) until 1960 and the death of Premier Duplessis.
I just came back from Quebec city, it was amazing.
In my travels to Canada for work, I have always found the people of Winnipeg friendly, welcoming, hardworking, family oriented and genuine. They are the best representatives of Canada. "Go Jets Go."
An American, I can attest to getting eaten alive by mosquitoes when visiting Winnipeg.
I have lived in Winnipeg for nearly 14 years, it is true to some degree as there is a big mix of both
Winnipeg is one of the top high crime city in Canada same for Surrey ( Vancouver ) Hamilton, Brampton, Oshawa , Ste Catherines , Nanaimo, Kamloops , Kelowna
If Winnipeg could relocate its North end, it would be a hundred fold safer!
Other than Brandon, the only thing friendly about Manitoba is the license plates.
Can you do top 10 best cities in the world?
Will do soon for sure!
I believe that Number 1 is Paris
@@Julian-jj5zg I highly doubt that 😂 are you from America?
I guess Number 1 will be Vienna, Kopenhagen or maybe Praha
@@angriffslusticherWildoger Yes. I only said that because he made a video stating how Paris was the perfect city
Nordics clear
If I was starting out now, I'd learn French and move to Montreal. We are from NYC, Montreal is the model of what a North American city should be. Winters are harsh, but you barely have to step outside when you get into the central city.
January is very cold plus part of february. Most often comments about the cold are utterly hysterical.
@vincent Lefebvre I've been there in the winter. The cold is a little shocking at first, but I really had a good time. Restaurants and everything else was less crowded. Once you get into the city, you don't go outside that much. Montreal and Toronto have really planned well around climate conditions. The only US city that's done a decent job is Minneapolis, with their covered skywalks, but Montreal really takes the prize. Plus, Montreal has great nature very close by. People are nice and quite helpful in Montreal, Quebec City, not so much. But to be fair, if I lived in Quebec City, I would be fed up with tourists too.
Yes montreal have the biggest underground city in the world
@@markrichards6863 Another secret of Montréal is the beautiful women you see everywhere.
@vincent Lefebvre By far, Montreal has the best looking people in North America, and some of the nicest too.
I was so ready to see Vancouver first follow by Toronto and Calgary. I lived in Vancouver for a short of time it's stunning but so pricey so when I needed to do a choice I choose Montreal qnd I agree it's not as stunning but there is much to do so many festival so many things happening everyday, so many quality restaurants and the mentality is so special it's like everybody agreed to be chill
Montreal is a aUNESCO city of design , 400 years of architecture , largest urban parks in Canada , # 1 in the world for sustainability , 4in the world for biking infrastructure, Mountains are accessible , 2 million trees in the city , Vancouver has les than 70, 000
@@jeanbolduc5818 montreal does not have mountains, well not like alberta or bc
Vancouver has a couple million trees bud and Montreal does not eveneed have anything close to 400 year old buildings.
Dude, I never realized Montreal had so much unique culture. I knew being part of the French-speaking Quebec areas, you had to either learn French before moving or just hope someone nearby is fluent enough in English to help you understand French if you really wanted to and you were able to move there. My grandma, partly of Swedish ancestry, has a friend that lives in Canada, and they call each other a lot, because my grandma’s friend is so fluent in English and French. Not to mention, so many people used to visit our family’s park a lot from across the country because as for the rest of Canada, so many people coming from across the entire populated country of Canada always have some kind of special connection or even interest in what our park holds when they can afford to host it. Still, the cultural statistics of Montreal must be so amazing, that I can hardly wait to actually go there at least just one time and spend some time there to see just how nice a city Montreal must actually be.
You’d be surprised how much English is spoken in Montreal. It’s a great city, it’s unique and every time I leave Montreal. I miss it. Surprisingly I miss the French language being spoken so openly. One of the only cities in North America. Where a large part of the population are trilingual.
Montreal is the only UNESCO design city in Canada with 400 years of culture, architecture and history .. Montreal is ranked # 1 in the world in 2022 for the greenest and sustainable city , best bike city in North america , and bilingual in both Canadian official languages
People living out of Quebec think only how difficult is try to talk in french, but Mtl is absolutely bilingual
@@federicosoto3060 I am from a small town 100KM South East of Québec City and, honestly, in most major cities, and medium size place, most people speak English. Me, my husband, our two sons, brother, and sisters, everyone speaks English.
Quebec is the most billingual Province of Canada, dont worry most speak english. im from a medium city between Quebec and Montreal. All my family can hold a conversation in english.
Never been to Canada but want to go there.
go to Vancouver pls
@@Action-je2lu yea I got stabbed lol
It's a great place to visit AND live!
@꧁ᴀᴇʀɪ꧂ fr i did
If you're American and want the benefits of Montréal, just move to beautiful Burlington VT. It's gorgeous, cheaper and just a short drive away.
Love Burlington ❤
but in english.
Except it is a tiny, boring village compared to the metropolis of Montreal..
Love Vermont, my favorite state.
Not sure where they got the stat about half of the buildings and lots in Edmonton being vacant but I'm glad they got the part about our park system. Wish they had also mentioned that we are festival city. I have lived in Edmonton for all except 2 years of my life where I was in Calgary. If I had to move somewhere else in Canada I would choose Montreal as I fell in love with it many years ago. I love all parts of Canada though.
I'm actually pretty cool with people underrating Edmonton, it's part of what makes it appealing & affordable
And Calgary is rated so much higher than Edmonton because it has a lot of buildings downtown? It doesn’t have the arts and culture Edmonton has. To me that’s more a marker of a real city.
@@robs9180I live on Edmonton and love my cultural city ,good scene, river valley and much more.
Loved how this video simplifies choosing a retirement plan across Canadian cities. Great insights, ranked perfectly!
Montreal is one of the world's best cities for a Gen Z. If I would wish to migrate to Canada from my home country, the Philippines (Yes, I'm a Filipino.), I'd rather move to Calgary which is one of Canada's best cities.
Montreal is the best young person city i've ever been to!
Speaking of Montreal, it used to be Canada's largest city, but was surpassed by Toronto by population in 1981.
Both too cold for me
If I wish to migrate to Calgary from Metro Manila, I must have a Visa, take a Philippine Airlines flight from MNL to YVR, then I take a WestJet flight from YVR to YYC.
Alberta has the top most dangerous cities in Canada and 40 % of Canada s greenhouse gas with fossil fuels , oil and gas ...
Wow, this was a much better video than I expected ! Very interesting facts and information with great footage and great choices overall.
agree great video
All cities in Canada are amazing❤🇨🇦
True
Lived in Calgary for almost my entire life and your description is accurate though city population is now over 1.6 million. While winters here are bitter cold, a weather effect called chinooks provide warm, sunny breaks that Montreal doesn't get. And Quebec sales tax is almost 10% compared to no provincial sales tax in Calgary as mentioned. Calgary does lack the old city charm of Montreal and our summers here might not be quite as long.
We're it not for my migraines I would consider calgary my self. Though living it Ottawa is not bad.
@@SoulOfTech I have only visited Ottawa during summer and also tulip festival but found it wonderful.
Better than Edmonton summers lol. Montreal and Vancouver summers are the best. I just came back from Montreal today and have been to Vancouver many times in the summers. Both cities have lots to do. Calgary at least gives the edge that you can go to the mountains. Edmonton, you have to drive 4+ hours if you want to go to Canmore , or Jasper. Hinton at best is closest with Mount Solomon. But Calgary and Edmonton is definitely nothing like Montreal
Mango tango i remember you!! Jesus you made my childhood so great and look at you now! Good for you bro hope your doing alr!
agree, mango is the best
Out of all the cities in Canada, the people of Winnipeg (Manitoba) are the nicest down to earth people.
Can't argue with that! Although the Maritimes also have some of the kindest people I've ever met!
I'm 55, lived in 7 provinces, and NOW, my city is Quebec City. My rent is CHEAP compared to the rest of Canada (1200$ for a newly renovated 2 bedroom with utilities included, RIGHT in the old town on St-Jean street... I could get one MUCH cheaper (800$) if I wanted to be a bit out of the downtown core.)...
YES, Quebec Province has more taxes, BUT, they also have lots of income tax rebates and refunds, AND they have WAY MOE public services than any other place in the country. Paying a just a few hundred dollars more than in BC every year for twice the services is an easy win...
The people are NOT pushed by some work, work, work rat race. It's party and easy living central. Winter is cool because there are lots of activities and events, the summers are REALLY warm (just maybe too humid) and the tourists are only in the downtown core, while the rest of the 800,000 pop city stays the same.
French might seem like a barrier to some, BUT it's mostly random ignorance from part-time visitors and Quebec bashers. Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Three-Rivers, and Montreal all have sizable English-speaking communities, schools, and services, and in the rest of the province, at least 1/2 of the people you meet can understand and respond to you in English.
It's the SAFEST place in the country, the women are crazy hot, the LGBTQ+ community is really present without noticeable bigotry hitting them, and people just seem to enjoy being nice instead of being ranting whiners.
I LOVE this place, and Montreal is only 2:30 hours away by car, train, or bus (or 20 minutes by plane) when I REALLY want to party...
I miss Vancouver Island, but after being priced out of there twice, I'm NEVER going back...
Thank you for posting this. I would have never known Canada was this beautiful. I just moved to SW Florida but i definitely want to visit one day, now. I thought you had to go to Europe to experience beautiful cities with awesome topography.
Montreal and Quebec City truly feel like European cities!
@aerixoxo_ So you just comment your hate toward Québec city everywhere? 😂 Every year, tens of thousands of Europeans move to Montréal and Québec city and they love it!
But sure you should move elsewhere if you don't like it, we don't need your negativity over here
Montreal feels like Europe without going to Europe same with Quebec City. They're Canada's hidden gem versions of Europe!
@@FromHeretoThereUm… more because of the language than a few *very specific* neighborhoods that you can cover in an afternoon. Living there is nothing like living in Europe. I notice you don’t mention the entire eastern half of Montreal being a depressingly bland hunk of industrial blight and uninspired architecture. Or the political mess that the entire Province of Quebec perpetually inhabits. Or the fact that the biker gang wars vs mafioso are a long-standing Montreal tradition, as is trafficking of both humans and drugs. But hey - spiral staircases *outdoors!!*
Edit: worst idea ever in a climate that is superslippery for almost half the year. Tumbles are not uncommon. And yes, they hurt. Good thing you can just reach out and grab a handful of ice pack.
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofinYou smell like sour milk
I live in Calgary and it is improving in leaps and bounds. I reluctantly agree Montreal is amazing. It is the best city in Canada.
I think Calgary is definitely improving, but the crime is heavily rising.
One thing Montreal has over Calgary is older, historical buildings. Montreal is the best for that, next to Quebec City. Not sure what was the story on Calgary's older buildings, l think the the sandstone that they were made of didn't hold up.
Not a chance. As someone who’s family comes from Montreal and grew up in Calgary, Montreal is a dump compared. It’s not a close race at all, Calgary is significantly better
@@robertbruce1887everything in Calgary quite new and modern for the most cases!

Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
If you don't find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day and realize that the money you thought you had, had been exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
Am looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you think I should be buying?

A lot of these descriptions are spot-on
Hamilton is actually quite safe (for a big city), walking around downtown at midnight can feel dangerous, but from experience it is much safer than walking around vancouver, toronto and mississauga at night.
Yo can I ask you something
Not hard to improve on garbage though, been to all 3 and they all have junkies walking around, Vancouver is the worst though by far and Hamilton is the least bad, least bad meaning not good.
All 3 are also stupid expensive, talking some of the most expensive cities in the whole country expensive, avg 1 bedroom in Toronto is 2,000 dollars a month! Why would I pay 2,000 a month when other cities in the GTA are incredibly nice? If you have the money for Toronto, just move to somewhere in Halton! Expensive as hell but holy Jesus the cities in Halton D U M P all over Toronto.
Compared to Edmonton
Hamilton is vile. Glad I live nowhere near there. All that steelmaking. I'll admit that its a good real estate investment, awful place but close to Toronto
I've been last year and with the kids going to first union center for a basketball game in the afternoon there was so many crack pipes smoking urine infected people it was scary, we saw a fight too... I legit feeled threaten and it never happened to me before even in the states
I've been to Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal on the list. Montreal is definitely the best of those. I still need to check out Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Calgary. During the late spring or summer. Why? Because this guy from Boston....ditched snow in the mid 90's for Texas. Cool video for sure!
Montreal and Vancouver are definitely prime cities. Haven't been to Toronto so idk yet. But I can already tell it'd be a great city but too/super overcrowded... It's Canada's largest city.
Edmonton is alright. Not that exciting compared to Calgary. Winnipeg is okay. Better than Regina , but Edmonton is better. But Montreal and Vancouver I rate as the best cities in Canada. Would love to check out cities in the east coast too.
Montrealer here. As happy as I am to see our city rank in at #1 in your list, I do have to point out that sadly, just like every other major city in Canada, rent has exploded here in the past couple of years mainly due to poor management by our local and provincial governments. So while it is cheaper than Toronto or Vancouver, sadly I don't think it qualifies as "cheap" anymore...
Yep. Calgary is the #1 at this point because it’s more affordable. But give it 3-4 years. and it’ll be unaffordable
@@ha5541 Yeah... My rent in Calgary went up $900 /month in September. 55%.
@@nayman2801 yeah the prices are stupid high now but it's still way more affordable than Vancouver or Toronto
As someone living in Quebec and usually speaking french, it's always funny to hear people trying to pronounce french words 😂
I lived in 3 of the 9 biggest cities in Canada.
I’ve lived in: Toronto, Hamilton, and greater Vancouver.
The best one out of all of them was Vancouver.
The best years of my life were in the lower mainland.
But isn't it the most expensive?
@Prince Blacksta IV there’s a reason why it’s the most expensive city in Canada. One of the reasons is because everyone wants to live there.
It’s a beautiful place.
With mild winters compared to the rest of Canada.
@@ZOG_EXTERMINATOR Interesting. How's the average pay in comparison to the rent/mortgage tho. Yeah it's more expensive than the others but is it affordable?
@@BLACKSTA361 no it’s far from affordable.
Same goes for Toronto, Nanaimo, Victoria, Hamilton, Kelowna, Branford, and Ottawa.
@@ZOG_EXTERMINATOR dsmn that's a shame
I lived in Toronto for about 4 years. It had everything but I found it too noisy and busy and the air quality was often substandard.
Fun Fact: As of 2022, Edmonton and Winnipeg both are the worst major cities between Canada and the US for total crime, with crime rates above 8k/100k (sources: RCMP, City of Edmonton, City of Winnipeg)
And that’s largely due to the fact that the long historical effects of colonization are hardest felt in Winnipeg and Edmonton, given they have far and away the largest indigenous populations of all cities in Canada
@@DrNutbag bingo!
Yeah, did you make that up? Edmonton and Winnipeg have some crime problems, but they aren't beating Baltimore anytime soon. I'm having a hard time finding these statistics on the RCMP site like you say.
@@ccccccccitrusYeah I agree. In the Canadian context, crime is high but I can name a half dozen places in the US that are worse.
@@DrNutbagExactly! I'm in Manitoba (former Winnipegger) and we have both one of largest Indigienous populations in Canada (especially in the urban areas) and among the highest if not the highest rates of childhood poverty in Canada. That has huge impacts on everything, from crime rates to school outcomes to substance abuse to generational poverty. It's not unique to Winnipeg, but is acute there simply due to size. Over 75% of the entire provincial population lives in Winnipeg and it's adjacent communities.
My mind refuses to accept that Calgary could place so high. It’s ALBERTA.
And Alberta is superior
Bruh, Alberta is amazing. Calgary is also incredible. I think you haven't even been to Alberta
Proud Montrealer here! Thanks for the #1 spot! I'd love to visit most of the cities listed here, but i'll never live anywhere else than here. Its not perfect, of course, but i wouldnt trade any of it.
Canadian here… You may of inadvertently used a cut screen from Halifax for Hamilton On.
I’m also disappointed you didn’t include a city from the Atlantic provinces. I feel you’ve only chosen larger cities. When there is a lot of charm/character in cities like Halifax and St John’s NL. Just my two cents 🇨🇦
That’s why it’s titled BIG cities. In no order I’d say the top ten under 500,000 are
Halifax, KCW, Kingston, St Johns, Victoria, Kelowna, Fredericton, Regina, St Catharine’s?!
Something along those lines. Anyone can chime in if you live somewhere great!
only ever been to Canada once and it was in Montreal for a couple of days so I am quite happy with the results of this video... :)
I've visited Montreal over a dozen times to attend the Grand Prix, and I have to agree. It is a delightful place in June, though I wouldn't want to be there in January!
Montreal is a winter wonderland ... for skiing, skating , cross country etc ... dry winter and less colder than Toronto
It's not THAT bad!... compared to Winnipeg... Okay, who am I kidding, the Winters are brutal
Toronto residents are ‘Torontonians’ not ‘Torontans’. Québec city district of St Roch is pronounced ‘Rock’, not ‘Roach’. But being here in Montréal, I totally agree with your #1 choice!
In the great Montreal vs Toronto debate , I think there is a clear winner after visiting both cities a few times. Montreal just has an energy and spirit that leaves Toronto well behind. Although much smaller, you can easily make the case Quebec City is the nicest in Canada. For people in the West , the same can be said for Calgary.
Quebec City is lovely, but bloody awful winters. I much prefer Vancouver over Calgary, so much more beautiful with mountains and the sea.

Property seems quite expensive, but salaries are great. Here in the UK the average property price (for a small house) is equal to 1.5 million Canadian dollars, with the average annual salary currently equal to 51,000 Canadian dollars. Although in reality many jobs pay half that.
Don't take into consideration only that taxes, internet, insurance, cars, electricity is very expensive here too.
The average of snow accumulation in Quebec City per winter is not 400 cm but 300 cm. The highest accumulation ever recorded in a winter in Quebec City is 558 cm (220.79 inches) in 2007-2008 !
Oh! I remember that winter! Less then 2 years later, we moved to Mexico. LOLLL
I also remember it. We could play on our rooftops and slide all the way back to the end of the backyard cause there was so much snow. Stupid amount of snow, but pretty fun for winter sports
Everybody will forever remember Winter 2008 when Québec was celebrating its 400th anniversary and we had the snow-o-meter on TV hoping to hit the record and pass the 400 cm mark for 400 years! Glad we did! ⚜️❄️⚜️ Epic.
holy cow that's 5 and a half meters of snow!!! Insane!
As a Torontonian who’s been to Montreal and Quebec City many times, yeah I’m kinda jealous.
Montreal has the greatest park life, festival scene, food scene, and a great balance between big city & old European architecture. As he said, the ppl here really do work to live. Go to Mont Royal on a Sunday and you’ll see what I mean
I grew up in Calgary and moved to Vancouver in 2005. I hated Calgary when I left, now I hate Vancouver, and have watched as Calgary has really done a good job of renewing itself.. I may end up back in Calgary by this time next year..
In essence, Vancouver has 9 beaches all facing in basically the same direction. A big rainforest just outside of downtown, and a lot of bike paths..
Other than that, there really isn't a whole lot to do or see if you're not driving out to the mountains in squamish/whistler..
Downtown and more areas around the city (I'm on commercial drive) are riddled with drug addicts, homelessness, crime, filth.. and properties/rentals are just getting more and more expensive. Vancouver should be further down the list imho..
I live in Montreal and I have traveled over 100 cities around the world. I love most to be a tourist in my own city. Come and visit..Bienvenue à Montréal!
Calgary!!!!
Is Calgary good?
Anyone who thinks Calgary is better than Vancouver has obviously never been to both cities. Vancouver is expensive for a reason.
I would personally rather live in Vancouver, but no city does the income to cost of living ratio like Calgary
I've lived in both and Calgary is waaay better unless you really can't deal with a few months of snow. Vancouver could be the best city on the planet if it lived up to its potential, but instead it's overrun by drugs, violence, crime, and corruption at all levels of government that refuse to do anything to address the cost of living and are likely in the back pocket of organized crime. Calgary has topped Vancouver consistently for several years running in the Economist's most livable cities index for a reason!
Calgary would be too Conservative for some people, while Vancouver would be too Liberal-Left for others.
Miss you mango, glad ur still uploading
Yes Mango has created > 500 videos or roleplays in 2 gap years (> 500M views) amazing
Follow mango for life
after 4 years i find out you had a new channel, bring back mango tango
I would suggest that Toronto is the worst place to live in Canada. Second is Vancouver, simply cost of living. Edmonton and Calgary are fantastic cities since they are located in Alberta which has the lowest tax rates and the highest wages and the best economic opportunities. All you have to do is look at house prices, and your salaries. Both Edmonton and Calgary are very affordable compared to the cities of Toronto and Vancouver. Edmonton might have snow for 4 month but Vancouver has rain and cloudy skies for most of the winter. Furthermore in the other Canadian cities if you buy something you pay 12 or 13 % sales tax in Alberta you pay 5 %.
100% agree with your statement! Edmonton and Calgary are definitely better than Toronto and Vancouver!
Excellent video. Very educational
as a chinese, you have a very excellent name as well
“Great public transit” and Toronto unfortunately don’t go hand in hand… we get TTC stoppages daily now. Can’t expect to get from Bloor to Finch without a delay.
Relative to other north american cities its pretty great obviously nothing compared to europe though
toronto hast the second highest transit usage in North America after NYC for a reason. it's transit system is pretty good and has the best bus network/frequencies on the continent and one of the highest train frequencies as well most places in NA could not dream of trains coming ever 5 minutes or less.
I'm so invested like I'm moving there this year
Awesome! Like any of the cities on this list?
@@FromHeretoThere Hamilton and Calgary look nice
I miss hearing mangos voice bro I’m proud how far you came😁
learn from mango & travel with him
I live in Ottowa and I would just like to say, we are DEFINITELY a suburban area. You can go by downtown very quickley. It is very peaceful and theirs alot of greens, because of this, so I like it here.
You need to go back to school and learn how to spell.
Glad that you’ve resumed your videos dude. One of my favorite channels on CZcams. You’re brilliant.
I wish even to invest and start doing all the countries list, since I’m a geographer and journalist.
Mango tango what happened why did u change channels why did u stop? I not sad I support you but what happened?
He is older now and too old for Minecraft. He has created > 500 roleplays & has has put a smile on > 2 M faces in 2 gap years. He needs to follow his passion to explore the world. Glad you support him & we should follow him for life.
I am a fifth generational Torontonian and while in many ways I am proud of my city I totally agree with your assessment. I think Montreal is just amazing!
Few corrections on Winnipeg:
- You won't need a car to live in Winnipeg - the bus service is quite good and reaches most areas of the city. Additionally, the city has invested a lot into bike paths which are great from may to oct.
- The mosquito problem is not nearly as bad as the past - with control programs in place, they are still around but nothing like the 90s
- Traffic can be bad - there are less cars on the road, but less road infra to move the cars around.
- Having lived in a few of Canada's "nicest cities" - given the affordability, beautiful summers, proximity to lakes, and happier friendlier people - I would rank Winnipeg higher.
I have to admit, Calgary deserves #2. I'm born and raised in Montreal, and still live there, and I find most Canadian cities effortlessly stale and boring, but Calgary is popping. It's a great city.
I wish we had the beaver (yes, the rodent) here in Australia. I expect that they would have been hunted to near extinction, but they could hold out in Tasmania - a challenging climate for humans but heaven for beavers. Incredible animals.
Australia has incredible wildlife already! Why would you want another invasive species?
@@andycockrum1212 google 'feral cats in Australia'. That ship has sailed - the beaver would be much easier to control.
As a Canadian, I love your wildlife and yes, especially life forms like the mulga snake!
Your wildlife and areas have dealt with some very serious blows. A century ago, you had to declare war on rabbits. In recent years, cane toad populations are making their way up to the Kimberly area, am I right?
Then most recently, those devastating infernos. I've never seen such a raging disaster like that! Were you folks ever able to save or salvage anything in the wake of that?
You like beavers? Great; but they require a lot of wooded forests and streams. They would become a food source for the salties down there, too!
@@FischerFan I agree that so much of our country is completely different to North America/Canada, but the wild west coast of Tasmania is another world. Can't say I'd want to live there, but it would be beaver heaven. As for cane toads, they seem to range further south every year, but we have crows that worked out that they need to be flipped over before ingesting. I swear the crow will outlive humans.
Yes! He’s back!
Haha hope you enjoyed!
@@FromHeretoThere Thanks! Can you do Top 10 cities that will underwater by 2100? And also Top 10 best large cities in the USA? It means a lot. Thank you!
I live in quebec and its super comfortable to live in despite the obvious inconveniences that every city has
I love the architecture and its relatively safe too
Been there my whole life and its pretty nice!
I would love it too but I don't speak good enough French to get bye. I've been horribly discriminated against as an English Canadian there unfortunately so I would absolutely never live there and I don't ever vacation there anymore. It's too bad because it would be an amazing province to live in.
@@Neonator08Why! I live in mtl and if you know a little of French it will be ok!
@@Neonator08 Wow that’s unfortunate, sorry about that
I didn’t know such thing was going on… especially since English is taking over Quebec recently
I hope you get to see this place one day but id understand if you don’t
I wish Van wasn’t so expensive, honestly it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world that offers stuff you can only get on the west coast
Once you factor in the cost of rent in Hamilton ontario, an income of $80,000 is shitty. You'll get a decent apartment for $4,000 per month and that's more than half of your income. In reality, people making 80k are borderline poor and the poverty rate is higher than 6% post covid.
You need around 90k to live comfortably.
I’m a newcomer to Canada and, from my perspective, it’s a gorgeous country with numerous opportunities and stunning nature. Nevertheless, I’m gonna move out due to insane education costs. Oh, and also, I’ve been living in Edmonton, it’s not really bad city, the winter is cold, but in comparison to Manitoba it’s not too many extremely cold days. Additionally, I really love how the city transforms in the summer, it’s such a drastic contrast compared to the winter 🥶
I moved to Edmonton when I was 5 and while the winters may be cold, it's a great city. There are so many great opportunities and places to go. Summers may get hot but they are still incredible. WEM is a great place to go shopping and hang out with friends as well. As for sports, almost everyone I know is a hardcore Oilers fan. But we also have teams like the Stingers and Riverhawks. Honestly, you need to live here to experience it best and I don't think this guy has spent much time here.
Grew up in manitoba most of life can guarantee the cold is equivalent to Siberia here can't wait to leave manitoba for calgary
Eudcation should be pretty cheap once you're a permanent resident! It's like 4k$ a syear in Quebec, including for the best unis, and you get most or all of that subsidized if you're low-income.
Education is almost free in Canada if you are Canadian.
@@Noah-ws8ho Yeah, I did some research on that topic, and it's kinda tricky to get without a specific job. Plus, it's closely tied to the education you already have, so it wouldn't really work for me.
Used to live in Calgary. Will go back one day
One of the most underrated cities!
Quebec City looks like something out of a fairytale - the kids must absolutely love it.
Most kids grow up in the suburbs around the city though, but yeah when they do visit Vieux Québec they love it
@@minethotho5422 Sure - no-one goes to an amusement park every day of the week, but driving from the suburbs into that Winter 'fairyland' must seem like an adventure after a week of cabin fever.
@@arthurwatts1680 yeah but what i meant is that people do live there and see it everyday, but generally not a lot of kids grow up there
@@minethotho5422Qc resident here. I’m not going much to Old Quebec since I live and work in the suburbs. But when I’m going, I truly feel like a tourist in my own city. It’s a great feeling!
@@mariehdesroches191 tu peux me parler en français moi aussi je reste à Québec ! Ça me faisait la même chose avant mais plus tu y vas plus tu te rends compte que le vieux c'est un petit quartier où tout le monde se connait 🙂
Great video, love it
Guys who still remember the good old days where this guy played minecraft
Honestly if it wasn't so cold in Toronto and etc. I wouldn't mind living there
That's me with most places in the world 😂
@@FromHeretoThere 😂😂
Vancouver doesn't get very cold. It's a similar climate as Seattle, so rainy but mild winters
As mentioned in the video, Toronto's winters are just about the mildest in Canada. Only Windsor (very slightly) and Vancouver would be milder. It's comparable to Detroit.
I think he dont want place 2 Quebec province citys for one and two to not make storm with english Canada but the real ranking are Montreal first and Quebec City second.
Winnipeg is awesome. But it is starting to get expensive to live there. We had to pay half the amount of our rent for parking. I was born there. Lived there on and off a lot. But there are other Cities in Manitoba. Some a LOT colder lol!
My dad has a friend in Winnipeg and the last time I met him was back in late December just before Christmas. Although, my family are Filipinos, but my dad's Canadian friend have a good time with us.
Definitely one of the most underrated places i've been with a TON of history (for canada)
Can you make top 10 cities from worst to best on Australia?
Thought you only had 3.
I remember when he did Minecraft videos
If it wasn't so cold, I would probably move to Alberta. I hear Canadians always say it's the Texas of Canada.
It's a GORGEOUS place to live!
I would say Alberta is more like the Colorado of Canada, being that it is landlocked and with Calgary being a doppelganger for Denver.
More like Colorado than Texas
Kind of a civilized TX.
Rural Alberta and Calgary definitely favour American-style right wing values. But Edmonton's definitely a much nicer part of the province, and really ought to be on the west coast in cultural and political terms.
tbh, the weather in Winnipeg is fine. you get used to it, and find ways to stay relatively warm, or cool depending on the season. it's the roads, and lack of infrastructure in many places that sucks.
Also, if you don't want to get stabbed, don't go downtown.
the weahter objectively is awful, and mosquitoes even worse. So just "dont go to the heart of the city" if u dont wanna get stabbed?? Downtowns usually define the city.
Winnipeg feels a little more scary each here that I’m here. Hoping the new mayor can help to revitalize things. He seems very genuine and has some plans. Otherwise, once I can retire, I will definitely leave.
@@paulg6274I haven't seen 1 mosquito this year
@@rossrobertson674 ah ok. Well i saw one last yr so there u go. Winnipeg averages 0.5 mosquitoes/ yr I guess
@@paulg6274 haha 😂 👍, this year has been very good for mosquitoes, I'm sure outside of the city u can find alot but mosquitoes are only bad like every 4 years or so
Making a Canadian video while there is a wildfire in Quebec 😅
More like more than 150 wildfires.
I missed u mango u were my childhood keep up the good work
follow mango for life
When are you returning to the mango tango channel :-: most of us missed you.
very true we all miss mango tango
Somewhere Halifax is in the running. It is growing by leaps and bounds and is just a great laid back city
Agreed
@@glaframb i wouldn't say way more snowy. a bit more.
It would've been on the list but it doesn't have 800 000 people yet.
Hamilton over Edmonton? Hmm not sure about that
Edmonton might suck, but putting it in #8 and Calgary in #3 is just asking for a fight.
As an American, I think I would put my money in Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Quebec City before any other city in Canada.
I don't even want to think about Vancouver;
I understand since it became just as horrible as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle in terms of its homeless problem.
Vancouver is fine; especially as a visitor.
Yes, I've heard a number of the major West Coast cities have taken a real beating with drugs and homelessness.
The homeless in Vancouver are mostly in a small area downtown. Although it’s become worse since fentanyl became the drug of choice, the area has had a reputation for drug use since the 1960s and alcohol abuse going back even earlier. It’s where many single room occupancy (SRO) hotels and social housing has been located for decades. The place has been immortalised in music (Ian Tyson’s Summer Wages), a television series (DaVinci’s Inquest) and several documentaries.
What do you think about Toronto? I want to know your opinion, so please be honest! I live near Toronto
@@michaelchen3765 I've never been to Toronto, so I can't judge it either way.
But as far as finding a future wife goes, I won't even look in Toronto's direction.
I understand the women in Toronto have charming personalities like the man-hating feminists in liberal America.
Mango Tango my the video's Rest in peace ⬛️😥😓
