Would you ever live in Canada?




Melbourne, Vienna and Vancouver have been named the most LIVEABLE cities in a top 10 list of the Economist Intelligence Unit that doesn't include ANY American city!!

Damascus, a war torn city in Syria was the least liveable city, below both Lagos and Tripoli.

New York, London, Paris and Toyko were all outside of the top 10 because of "high crime, congestion, and public transport problems"

Several US cities have registered declines from the reports that "stems in part from unrest related to number of deaths of black people at the hands of police officers". Another factor was "protest held in respose to President Trump's policiese and executive orders"

The 2017 ranking was calculated by assessing 140 cities and giving them a score out of 100 on stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure and culture

Would you ever live in Canada? let's see what people will vote

Vancouver -

Sure it's super livable if you are wealthy. I live in the burbs because I can still go to vancouver whenever I want, but I'm not paying out the ass to live there.

A bunch of crime like what? As far as I know our crime rates are pretty good compared to most countries.

People come to my city to gamble, buy hookers, and get married spur of the moment. Doubt any Neo-Nazi movement will take place here.

I miss the south sometimes but then sometimes I don't, the recent events are one of the reasons why I don't.

I live in Vancouver (Metro-Van, at least). It is a gorgeous, clean, and super safe city. I've only spent a few months here and I'm already in love.

Vancouver is a nice city, but if you can't even afford to live there how livable is it really?

Looking at the list, the reason no US cities are on is is that they probably rate Healthcare really low for all of them.

I'm just pointing out that Sask has like the highest rates of crime, heroin, and HIV, IIRC. Compared to Vanvouver, this place is fucking paradise.

saskatchewan is an entire province while vancouver is just a city
you really cant compare the two of them that way

especially since saskatchewan has saskatoon and north battleford bringing it down.

Yeah, I get what you are saying. I guess from my personal experience, it's not even comparable. I lived in Regina, where stabbings, machete attacks, murders, heroin, and HIV were all daily occurrences. Now I live in Metro-Van and I haven't encountered a single problem like that so far. I get that it may actually be worse, but because of the different culture and the different attitudes, it's paradise for me.
