Montreal.

Pros: housing costs much lower than other Canadian cities. Very easy to get around without a car (horrible with a car). Lots of varied, nice neighborhoods. Good food and restaurants, though I find there are some "deserts" with not much locally. Very safe compared to other cities. A good vibe of people enjoying life. Generally good for outdoor activities, between the mountain, running and bike trails, lots of parks. Decently close to some good provincial parks. I understand there is good nightlife but I'm too old to comment.

Cons are more subjective.



I’d love to spend some time living in Montreal. It and Quebec City feel like as close as one can get to Euro living without hopping over the pond.
