I'm in Toronto - definitely not suburban, but you might consider the west or east ends of the city (roncessvailles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron… / lesliville http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les…) They're both about a 20 min commute from the core and much better culturally IMHO.

also - be prepared to spend a whole bunch more on all products (especially booze) than in the states.

Toronto = work and money
Montreal=party time!
Vancouver=slower pace, rain, bc bud
Calgary=oil money, lots and lots of dirty oil money
Quebec city= the closest North America has to Old europe.- How about Ottawa? It seems to rank consistently high on the places to live chartshereswhatidid
- are you single? do you have kids or a wife?_niko
- Wife and 2 kids, both under 5.hereswhatidid
- Ottawa's great then as is Toronto and anywhere in Ontario for raising a family._niko

Also you'll need to become a hockey fan if you're not one already, and if you do love hockey you'll want to avoid Toronto, they havent had a team in over 50 years.

The American Dream Is Alive and Well — in Canada!
Quick: Name a wealthy, North American country that values self-reliance, individual freedom and personal ambition.
Sure, you could take the easy way out and say the United States. But you’d be just as accurate if you said Canada. In fact, new research shows the American Dream — the ability to improve your prospects through hard work, personal initiative and grit — is more vibrant in Canada than its native land.
