Toronto great city too higher crime rate expensive housing

Vancouver beautiful mountains scenery but d**n expensive to live

Answer 3

I'd say Toronto, it's a gorgeous city!

Answer 4

I agree, Toronto is a beautiful city where you can find a community of people of the same nationality as you and stay with them. What do you mean by (their winter)? Toronto isn't some arctic wasteland, it average temperature during the summer.

For Montreal

Pros: beautiful city, multicultural with europeans immigrants mostly, clean streets, it is home to just for laughs comedy festival(thats something you could do and really enjoy). Kind people.

Cons: higher than average crime rate, bad drivers, there is a considerable amount of french speaking only people, it will become colder than average during the late fall/early winter.

For Toronto

Pros: Again a beautiful city, with a huge ethnic diversity where you can find every major nation across the globe represented, variety of shopping and unique goods to buy, and its a huge metropolis that you could send a day getting lost in its beauty.

Cons: Higher crime rate, somewhat confusing roads, its a bit like New York in some aspects, over priced cost of living.

For Vancouver

Pros: Beautiful city with a maritine feel to it, multicultural city but more oriental, eastern european people. Near the washington state border, more tropical like whether.

Cons: its has a very high rate of crime t the point where gangland style killings have happened, not a very clean city, very high cost of living.

You might want to go to Edmonton, Calgary in Alberta because there is a huge economic boom happening there. Ottawa( the nation's capital ) is a beautiful and historic city but is close to the quebec border, but once you cross the border the traffic lights change, road signage changes and it gives you the feeling you entered a different country.

Answer 5

Oh My God Toronto has a much higher crime rate then Montreal. Montreal is beautiful and yes it does get cold much like alot of states in the US. Toronto has a much higher crime rate. You better speak french though for Montreal. Vancouver I love rising crime rate very expensive. Hard to live there unless you are making over and way over 100k

Answer 6

ok well being from montreal myself i'll just tell you the pros and cons from my point of view.

pros: its a beautiful city, there's so much to do (especially if you're a person who likes to party it up), very multicultural, the public transportation is very very convenient, especially in the downtown area. the food is very good there, and appartments are not as expensive as in other cities. also, it has a very european flavour.

cons: driving in the winter might not be such a good idea. obviously there's crimes, but not as much as in other cities (toronto for example).

yes, people speak french but a lot also speak english (most are bilingual in mtl) so its not like if you don't speak french you'll die there or something... and plus you can pick up some french while you're there.

For vancouver: its a beautiful, clean city. I think its been voted one of the best cities in the world or in canada I can't remember... but anyways its very nice. only thing is the housing is very veryy expensive. I don't know how people manage but if you think you can, then go for it.

toronto: its the biggest city in canada.

umm.. what else can i say?

um its really big, and honestly, thats the only think i know about it lol.. sorry.
