A city on the west coast with godly scenery that enjoys California weather, to which sad bitter obese easterners living in a grey architectureless mess of a wet fart called Toronto hope to some day move to, that is if they can fork out the three-quarters million pricetag for a lower-middle class three bedroom rowhouse two hours away from downtown in leafty suburbs that aren't really suburbs since the lots are about 20 feet wide due to good city planning.

One of Canada's largest cities, noted for its temperate climate, dense and diverse population, and beautiful scenery, as well as its proximity to winter-sports mecca Whistler.
The thriving metropolis of Vancouver, nestled between the mountains and the seashore, is constantly voted one of the world's best places to live.

Westernmost important city in Canada, beautiful scenery, lots of glass buildings. Looks like something out of an episode of pokemon. We have fantastic skateboarding, food, and entertainment. Lots of good venues for shows. Close to mountains, meaning camping, skiing/snowboarding, and hiking is very popular. Lots of passive asians. Be sure to go to gastown and follow hipsters walking around and go to Granville street at night to see fake Guidos shouting beefs at each other outside of the clubs. I won't mention the cost of living cause everyone else does.
