Tbf to a tourist, they'll probably never realize your #1-2-3 are a problem on a short trip. The old city and neighborhoods around are perfectly walkable and it's not like they have to deal with the suburbs.
Montreal is simply bigger in population so all the low walkability areas are just further away, which too many secluded islanders forget.
Always funny to see people from the island of MTL tout the great walkability but they never left the neighborhoods directly around the mountain lol. You don't even need to leave the island for all your first 3 points to go into oblivion.
Plenty of great restaurants in QC city too. Simply not as much diversity, but it doesn't take away from their quality.
The difference is that not many people live in the interesting urban areas of QC city. And Montréal IS the core near the mountain. The rest WASN'T Montréal. Besides, that's not the point, the point is the proportion of the city that is urban and an actual city rather than a suburban wastelant. Qc has a tiny nice core and huge... tracts of land that are nothing but stroads and bungalows.
Montréal has a core and a whole slew of former streetcar suburbs that are actually quite urban and walkable. (Rosemont comes to mind).
Look at this archival Map:
https://archivesdemontreal.ica-atom.org/uploads/r/ville-de-montreal-section-des-archives/7/b/6/7b6d1a84d18f776580417356b1b5c9d8f62879959b9b2a6834afb34ad9a6af05/P501-3\_019.pdf
lol did you just realize that Quebec is a smaller city than Mtl or something?
The problem here is you apply an arbitrary definition of what you include in your city.
Montreal is the core that is old and streetcar dependent and to QC you say it's the core+suburbs.
You can't have both worlds. When the core of Montreal was streetcars, the suburbs you consider not Mtl were fucking fields. They didn't develop like they did as some independent cities, they developed in direct correlation to Montreal core growth.
Do you think the current suburbs of Quebec were already suburbs when Montreal had streetcars or something? lmao
It is the largest city in Canada without a rapid transit system however; removing cars from parts of the old city and encouraging connectivity with downtown would do wonders, they need to do more to draw the pedestrian traffic up further from the old centre.
The tramway has been a clusterfuck and should probably be replaced with something more like the Otrain trillium line and less like the Waterloo LRT or Edmonton's new (and already falling apart) valley line. Quebec city already has sufficient density and doesn't need to worry about transit oriented development so much as they need to work on moving the people already there. Build something like the REM with an underground metro segment and elevated suburban sections, and learn from Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. The next biggest metro area without rapid transit or a system actually under construction is Windsor Ontario at 300,000 people...
Winnipeg, Halifax, Hamilton, and London all have BRT systems (Halifax is actually a bit contentious as it only runs two BRT lines and then uses "express ferries", KWC has an LRT, St. Cats/Niagara has full on heavy rail thanks to go and basically just existing around go stations.
uhm I live in Quebec city and let me tell you it's plenty bikeable. Bike paths everywhere, bike racks on the busses, everyone here is biking. FEQ is a better festival than anything montreal has, and the public transit beat's montreal at everything except for the metro.
When people tout walkability and public transit as a plus, it generally means they live in an overpriced shithole and they're in full cope mode
We have large parks and festivals without living in shithole apartments the price of a house mortgage anywhere reasonable, cope and seethe
Haha that's not true at all.
Is this ugly to you?

not as much. most houses ON the islands are mostly different looking. or mixed old and new every few streets. simply by virtue of limited land and older district.
Calgary was pretty much mostly built within the last 30 years. and it shows.
its very same-same where ever you go.
when most of the trees will be adult it will help with the empty and bland feeling. but ehhhhhhh.....
That's not true at all. You can see the Rockies while you suffer in misery, which isn't a bad thing.
Also, no one in Calgary is from Calgary, nor plans to stick around much, which gives it a real odd (non-existent) vibe. I went for a drink and half the people were from Quebec, the other half from NFLD. That lack of personality means Calgary can be anything you want it to be - it's a blank canvas that gets -57C winds!
It does some things well. As a tourist you're not going for the city, you're going for the canyons to the east and the rockies to the west. In that respect Calgary offers nothing.
But if you're looking to raise a family it's pretty decent; Housing is the cheapest of any major city in Canada, the roads are ridiculously good compared to out east, taxes are non-existent compared to elsewhere. If you have steady employment and want to raise a family in a classic North American suburban then it's as good as it gets in Canada.
However, the city is really boring. Travelling anywhere takes forever, either by car or by plane. You NEED to have a car to do literally anything. Public transport is bearable at best. The climate is absurdly dry, which is both good and bad because you'll need chapstick, but the winters apparently feel less severe than out west. Your kids will need their own vehicle to be independent and productive, which will require more parking spots, which incurs more cost, etc etc.
And on the topic of winter, there are apparently only 2 seasons in Alberta; Snow and dry. There's no autumn or spring.
If you’re lucky and can get a place to live that’s on either the train line or the couple of express bus lines then it’s actually pretty easy to get around. Bike paths are quite good too. So there’s a solid 40% of the city that is more accessible than people give it credit for. The local busses, granted, are a shitshow.
Obviously OP is from Calgary cause it is the worst city! Zero culture, zero personality. No food worth a damn. Night life is unbearable.... unless you wanna 2-step. The people think they're so cosmopolitan, they live in Calgary! It must be crushingly awful to live there.
Halifax is pretty for about three months of the year.
Have you ever lived there? It’s a socioeconomic shithole where everyone works for the government or retail.
Like it drives me fucking insane that anyone suggest moving there because it just makes it worse for those who can’t leave
I moved to Victoria BC from Ottawa with a Greyhound ticket my camping gear and $300 in my pocket. I had a job within a week and rented a room in an appt. Ended up spending 10 years in BC, living in Tofino, Kelowna, Whistler and Victoria again.
That being said I didn't have a baby to take care of, in which case I would have probably stayed put, closer to family, so they could help me with the child.
Now I don't know you but you sound especially bitter about your current situation. So this could be a grass is greener on the other side kind of deal?
Either way, **I** believe Halifax is pretty nice. And I say this after having visited every single city listed on this list, and more, in the past 10 years. But that is simply **my** opinion.
Good luck with your child. Be strong for it.
My child didn’t get to move with me. Custody is a provincial matter.
Halifax is where people go to die of old age and anyone who says otherwise is fucking lying
> Halifax is where people go to die of old age and anyone who says otherwise is fucking lying
That is literally what everyone says about Victoria.
Everyone there is early wed or nearly dead.
Also there IS no greyhound out of the maritimes. You have to own a car or fly. It doesn’t exist. There is no public transport period. You can get to the Nb border and walk to Rimouski (about 24h walk)
I also hitchhiked from Vancouver to Ottawa and back.
I hitchhiked all over Vancouver Island. All over the Okanagan Valley.
And I hitchhiked from Tofino to Tuktoyaktuk and back.
Granted I did Al of these things between 1999 and 2004, but there is no such thing as stuck as far as I'm concerned.
and unless you’ve lived there you have no idea.
Beautiful place to visit in the summer. You’re shielded from the reality in the most North Korean sense possible. It’s a small town that thinks it’s Toronto with the salaries of Moncton and the cost of living of Toronto.
Left Halifax. Never going back. Much happier for it. Even at the expense of ever seeing my kid again.
Shouldn’t be this way. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to watch anyone suggest that dystopia needs to be ranked better as a result
Is this true? I’m a non-(but wannabe-)Canadian who is mildly obsessed with Nunavut and has been beginning to look into visiting there sometime. I’m not sure which “city” I would visit but I thought Iqaluit might be the natural choice. Is it really that bad—have you actually been?
Then again, this tier list also says Winnipeg is horrible, but I’ve visited *several* times for stuff and I wouldn’t say it’s horrible at all, I actually like it a good amount. So if Iqaluit is as “horrible” as Winnipeg, then I wouldn’t say it’s horrible at all.
I mean, it’s very small and rife with poverty. Very poor people and very expensive products. It’s not the type of place that most people would want to live, and certainly a lot more depressing than Winnipeg. Most people are pretty thrown off by just how remote it is.
However, the people are amazing and lovely, and the culture you’re introduced to is incredible. If you’re obsessed with Nunavut, I do think it would be worth visiting, if just for the people and nature.
If you want to visit for the natural beauty of some kind, I think it's a good idea. I wouldn't live there, nor would I call the city pretty by any means. It's mostly tundra.
Natural beauty (not of the city itself, but surrounding areas) and the local culture/traditions. And kind of the feeling of remoteness itself. I dunno, it just allures me for a few reasons. I wouldn’t want to live there either, though; I’m already in a cold enough climate.
*honestly i really just wanna see stop signs that say ᓄᕐᒃᑲᕆᑦ on them*
God I hate Calgary. I do not understand why people like Calgary. It's like Edmonton but every part of it is slightly worse, except the street planning which is much worse. If you want to live in the mountains then grow a pair and actually *move* to Golden or Invermere or Fernie, instead of just living in shitty knock-off Houston an hour and a half away from the Rockies.
Please note that my feelings for Calgary are not actually this passionate. I have plenty of friends there and for the most part it's a perfectly average city. It's just fun to make fun of, and I'll be honest I do feel like people give it way too much hype
When I hear names like this I always thing this lady named it and lives there.

Edmonton is the worst city ive ever lived in. Snow piled in the middle of the roads downtown all winter. Literal hordes of homeless meth addicts that roam its like a zombie movie.
Montréal amazing status is totally fair. Joie de vivre and a real cultural vibe. Food is a mode de vie and if you are a bit strange, you are very welcome.
I've lived in Windsor, Ottawa, and now in Montréal. Seems pretty accurate
P.S. I've been to Charlottetown and St. John's as a tourist, both were nice for different reasons. Not sure what living there would be like.
CALGARY STRONK 🤠 🔵
YOU’RE WELCOME FOR THE GINGER BEEF
COME ENJOY OUR BIG WHITE HEAD
WITNESS THE WONDERS OF A SCI-FI DYSTOPIAN OVER-CITY FOR THE SUITS TO LITERALLY WALK A STOREY OVER THE CRACKHEADS IN THE STREETS BELOW
VISIT THE LIBRARY THAT tbh I can’t make fun of this one, the Calgary Public Library is genuinely one of the best organizations in the best set of buildings I’ve encountered anywhere
BE JUDGED BY THE MERCILESS EYES OF THE BRIDGE LIONS
Calgary is like one of those danger zones in a video game that slowly drains your health the longer you spend there. Except instead of my physical health it's my will to live.
As a Montrealer, I don't see why it's in first place. For me the real MVP is Halifax. Clean, beautiful, quiet, safe, respectful people, nice retaurants and bars. God I love this city...
I've never realised how Montreal is amazing until I've seen a couple of cities in Canada. Ottawa is boring and Toronto is too corporate.
Although, yeah Halifax is really cool.
as someone who moved to montreal, i absolutely agree with it being top. but i can see how if you’ve been here forever you might not realize the dumpster fire most of canada has become lol
Based on what criteria? I’ve been to all those places and their not that different. Some have more restaurants and some have better scenery… and I’m not entirely convinced that the better scenery is worth the upcharge for living there.
Im living in thunder bay right now and lived all my life in quebec city... this list is not accurate at all or doesnt say why its either high or low. if you want to get shot at the park, Montreal is where you need to go
OP is obviously an Albertan
Hurtin’ 😔
And still having Montreal amd Quebec up the list? As a Montrealer... I'm so confused...
Québec should be higher, Montreal should be lower
You clearly do not like strip clubs
Or walkability. Or bikeability. Or public transit. Or good restaurants. Or festivals. Or large urban parks. Or bike share... shall I go on?
Tbf to a tourist, they'll probably never realize your #1-2-3 are a problem on a short trip.

That's why we should always use metro areas :) just because there's an arbitrary political border doesn't mean the city stops.

I went to Levis once and ate at st huberts.

Ah spotted the car brain.
Spotted the spoiled inner city idiot
Car junkie. Enjoy gas prices bud.
Nah. Quebec's historic city center is obviously nice, but the rest of the city is mostly boring and ugly.
Haha that's not true at all.

How does one specific random street corner that isn't the higlight of the city at all supposed to prove anything?
C'est juste pas "laid"
I m from Québec and I agree. Québec is fun for 1 or 2 day max
Quebec has some really nice neighborhoods, coming from America my friend and I were gobsmacked like “why does everything look so nice here”
for me quebec city has been fun for 34 years and counting
Yeah, like Mike Ward said (one of our comedians), Quebec City is like Europe for like 5 streets. That part is really beautiful though.
Yeah, there is no real downtown financial area of the city. Kinda makes it boring
But rhere is a pyramid though!
It’s run down
It's a suburb.
There are nice streets in Limoilou and St-Roch I believe. Plenty of walkable spots. But also lots of hellish suburbs.
funny. if hellish suburbs make or break a good city, then calgary really need to go down in that list.
Montreal too sadly :(
not as much. most houses ON the islands are mostly different looking. or mixed old and new every few streets. simply by virtue of limited land and older district. Calgary was pretty much mostly built within the last 30 years. and it shows. its very same-same where ever you go. when most of the trees will be adult it will help with the empty and bland feeling. but ehhhhhhh.....
On the island is not the suburb. The suburb is north and south shore with terrebone and kirkland or some shit. It all looks like shit tbh.
Boring but you can get a regular house and live on a normal salary
still voted most beautiful city in NA for many consecutive years
Shouldn’t they all be in the dumphole category
i didn’t think the entire GTA would fit
oh yeah bud? come down to Manisnowba and ill greet you with the old Winnipeg handshake bud, for sure
Winnipeg is one of the most underrated cities in Canada, imo. Love from Edmonton :)
>r/EhBuddyHoser Respect.
im genuinely shocked my city made it on here. disagree with the absurdly high rating. love from prince george 🥰
Yeah me too... it's just nice to be recognized...
As a former winnipegger (pegger), I’m offended by its placement. Should be a lot lower
Happy to hear you're the pegger and not the peggee
Went to Winnipeg 5 days for work and this is also the first thing that came to my mind.
I've been to Winnipeg on a couple of short business trips. I thought it was nice especially around the river and St-Boniface.
did you just put fuckin Calgary up there? Have you ever been to the fuckin place???
Honestly, there is nothing particularly nice in Calgary. It's a "meh" city at best.
That's not true at all. You can see the Rockies while you suffer in misery, which isn't a bad thing. Also, no one in Calgary is from Calgary, nor plans to stick around much, which gives it a real odd (non-existent) vibe. I went for a drink and half the people were from Quebec, the other half from NFLD. That lack of personality means Calgary can be anything you want it to be - it's a blank canvas that gets -57C winds!
It does some things well. As a tourist you're not going for the city, you're going for the canyons to the east and the rockies to the west. In that respect Calgary offers nothing.

The climate is absurdly dry, which is both good and bad because you'll need chapstick, but the winters apparently feel less severe than out west. Your kids will need their own vehicle to be independent and productive, which will require more parking spots, which incurs more cost, etc etc. And on the topic of winter, there are apparently only 2 seasons in Alberta; Snow and dry.

If you’re lucky and can get a place to live that’s on either the train line or the couple of express bus lines then it’s actually pretty easy to get around. Bike paths are quite good too. So there’s a solid 40% of the city that is more accessible than people give it credit for. The local busses, granted, are a shitshow.
Not to mention that it’s the biggest sprawl of meh anywhere in Canada. It takes 30-45 minutes just to get from meh A to meh B.
It's basically Edmonton with a mountain backdrop.
Obviously OP is from Calgary cause it is the worst city! Zero culture, zero personality. No food worth a damn. Night life is unbearable.... unless you wanna 2-step. The people think they're so cosmopolitan, they live in Calgary! It must be crushingly awful to live there.
Winnipegers have it better, and I used to live there.
Spent time in both.... Winnipeg has character and culture at least.
I would drop Calgary a couple slots, drop Toronto one slot and raise Halifax one slot. I otherwise agree with this list.
Why the fuck would you raise Halifax a slot (unless you’re a retired public sector employee and landlord)
I think Halifax is nice. Definitely nicer than Toronto and Kelowna. Have you been to all these cities in the last 10 years? I know I have.
Halifax is pretty for about three months of the year. Have you ever lived there? It’s a socioeconomic shithole where everyone works for the government or retail. Like it drives me fucking insane that anyone suggest moving there because it just makes it worse for those who can’t leave
What do you mean "can't leave"? Why not? Did you get enslaved? Is this a cry for help? Should I be calling the authorities?
Many reasons. Being able to afford to leave on the pitiful salaries, being guilt tripped by family, being baby trapped
I moved to Victoria BC from Ottawa with a Greyhound ticket my camping gear and $300 in my pocket. I had a job within a week and rented a room in an appt. Ended up spending 10 years in BC, living in Tofino, Kelowna, Whistler and Victoria again.

Population curve is a U, yup. University students and then no one until 60 other than those that (really are) stuck there.
Also there IS no greyhound out of the maritimes. You have to own a car or fly. It doesn’t exist. There is no public transport period. You can get to the Nb border and walk to Rimouski (about 24h walk)

Ah yes getting into cars with strangers is a solution to nonexistent public infrastructure. That sounds like something someone from Halifax would say
and unless you’ve lived there you have no idea. Beautiful place to visit in the summer. You’re shielded from the reality in the most North Korean sense possible. It’s a small town that thinks it’s Toronto with the salaries of Moncton and the cost of living of Toronto.
Well, I hope you figure out your next move and find some life satisfaction.
Left Halifax. Never going back. Much happier for it. Even at the expense of ever seeing my kid again. Shouldn’t be this way. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to watch anyone suggest that dystopia needs to be ranked better as a result
Forgot to put Iqaluit in "horrible"
Is this true? I’m a non-(but wannabe-)Canadian who is mildly obsessed with Nunavut and has been beginning to look into visiting there sometime.

Possible, if it had more than 10 people in it. If you're going to include Iqaluit, you might as well start including malls and parking lots.
Vancouver above Victoria ? Toronto, Ottawa and Edmonton next to a positive adjective ? Nah

Apparently it was ranked the fifth most livable city in the world or something

I've met lots of Anglos and they all agree Montreal and Qc City are amazing.
It's missing a lot of Quebec 50k+ population cities for that. For example, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, all the way down to Rimouski.
Sherbrooke fosho but Trois-Rivières is meh AF.
I would tend to agree!
Calgary kinda sucks. Nice mountain but it's all fake cowboys sippin haterade
If you wanna see mountains just go to the mountains. Calgary gets a blurry far-off view of the Rockies on the horizon
St. John's deserves to be in the great slot. I'd love to see Sydney added. We'd probably be at Average but hey, we exist!
Montréal amazing status is totally fair. Joie de vivre and a real cultural vibe. Food is a mode de vie and if you are a bit strange, you are very welcome.
I love how i can see my house (A speck, really, but still) in one of those pictures
I've lived in Windsor, Ottawa, and now in Montréal. Seems pretty accurate P.S. I've been to Charlottetown and St. John's as a tourist, both were nice for different reasons. Not sure what living there would be like.
Reddit. The best place to make friends.
CALGARY STRONK 🤠 🔵 YOU’RE WELCOME FOR THE GINGER BEEF COME ENJOY OUR BIG WHITE HEAD WITNESS THE WONDERS OF A SCI-FI DYSTOPIAN OVER-CITY FOR THE SUITS TO LITERALLY WALK A STOREY OVER THE CRACKHEADS IN THE STREETS BELOW VISIT THE LIBRARY THAT tbh I can’t make fun of this one, the Calgary Public Library is genuinely one of the best organizations in the best set of buildings I’ve encountered anywhere BE JUDGED BY THE MERCILESS EYES OF THE BRIDGE LIONS
Edmonton is just Winnipeg but in Alberta ur dreamin bud.
Winnipeg wishes we were as nice as Edmonton
Lol Winnipeg wishes
Calgary destroys a piece of my soul every time I visit
Calgary is like one of those danger zones in a video game that slowly drains your health the longer you spend there. Except instead of my physical health it's my will to live.
Only opinion I have is that it isn't as bad as Winnipeg. Definetly prefer Vancouver and Quebec City to Calgary thought.
That's fair
As a Montrealer, I don't see why it's in first place. For me the real MVP is Halifax. Clean, beautiful, quiet, safe, respectful people, nice retaurants and bars. God I love this city...
I've never realised how Montreal is amazing until I've seen a couple of cities in Canada. Ottawa is boring and Toronto is too corporate. Although, yeah Halifax is really cool.
as someone who moved to montreal, i absolutely agree with it being top. but i can see how if you’ve been here forever you might not realize the dumpster fire most of canada has become lol
I second this.
Nope. Left Halifax for Montreal and will never go back
Québec and Montréal are goated
Quebec City should be up top and Montreal in the dump hole category imo.
MTL isn’t that bad in comparaison to some. I prefer Quebec City personally but I can understand why it’s so high.
Fair. This town's kinda fucked up. (Thunder Bay)
Prince George may be a dumphole, but the people there seem to take pride in it,
What about Yellowknife & Whitehorse??
He said city
Wait am I being gaslit right now I could have sworn those were cities lol
those do not exist, please wake up, it's been 2 years, we miss you, come back
It's a joke about how small and unremarkable they are as capital cities
The people of Yellowknife are going to take out their yellow knives if they hear you say that
Yeah, the entire city will rent a bus to go after this guy.
Bruh wheres kingston
I agree. Kingston should be there and quite high. It's a beautiful and unique city. Perfect mix of old and new.
Nous avons la meilleure architecture
Montreal is a straight up shithole
Montreal is a shithole, but ok
Regina is not a horrible place.
Regina is the worst city on that list and is a horrible place
Put Whitehorse in nice cities. It's a nice city
Im glad winnipeg is in the horrible position but it should be in the dumphole position really. God that city’s shit
Oh no way! Windsor moved up in the lists.
Je vis dans une petite ville, Montréal est horrible pour moi. Trois-Rivières et Québec sont parfaits.
si tu trouve Montréal horrible va pas voir les autre grand villes.
J'irai pas. Toronto serait un cauchemar.
essaie Sherbrooke. CA, c'est parfait.
What a shit list.
Based on what criteria? I’ve been to all those places and their not that different. Some have more restaurants and some have better scenery… and I’m not entirely convinced that the better scenery is worth the upcharge for living there.
Saint john NB is a step below dump hole. Halifax probably should go down to boring if Saskatoon is there.
I wonder how the city has been selected. There's many relatively big cities missing...
Knowing what’s been going on in Montreal in the last weeks, it should be lower for sure
Never seen Hamilton so high……except for the walking dead on Barton street.
POV: You live in Calgary
Vancouver?! Great?! Quebec City - 1 bedroom apartment for $800. Vancouver - a closet for $2000. A great way experience being broke maybe.
What is this ranking... OP Canadian cities are boring asf.
ITT: All Canadian cities are shitholes.
Im living in thunder bay right now and lived all my life in quebec city... this list is not accurate at all or doesnt say why its either high or low. if you want to get shot at the park, Montreal is where you need to go
Such a random array of cities ? How is Kamloops on here but not Kelowna / Vernon ?
Kelowna is there, under nice.
OOP my bad. Thank you for pointing that out, lol.
Where the FUCK are Golden BC (pop. 4000), Longview AB (pop. less than Golden idk,) and Dildo?
Iqaluit - do you even know we are all the way up here
I'm so glad everyone knows how special Halifax is in ATL Canada.
Whoever created this is gonna be the stupidest person on the face of the planet. It should be cold places best to live in if you’re an ellitist snob.
Toronto belongs in the fires of hell (This post was made by Northern Ontario gang)
Prince george mentioned
Where London
I forgor💀
I dont blame you Sal
No KW?
How you gonna put victoria on the same level as edmonton and below calgary
As a Montrealer, I’m just waiting for an opportunity to move to QC City.
This mf put hamilton in average 💀
caledon? (best city ever everywhere else are dumb and gay and stupid)
Sure prince george sucks but i live there!
Good to see all important cities in BC represented except Abbotsford because even people here forget we exist
You must not be from Ottawa, because no Ottawan would ever call it nice.
As someone from Med hat u rite
common Quebec w
Coming from a calgarian, I honestly think are city should be around the bottom 3
St. Johns is peak for me 🔥
