For engineers? Southern Ontario is excellent. Especially at my company which has a pretty good career guidance programme for engineers, to ensure that they develop to P.Engs. Also, both my sis & bro in law (married to each other) are engineers (Honeywell & DeHavilland respectively) and have had a good run at their careers.
Why doesn't she like Kingston? This is one place I would relocate to in a drop of a hat, if I had a job there. I love the size of the city, the recreational aspect, the sailing especially, and it's proximity to 3 major centres all within 2 hrs distance. As well, it is fairly cosmopolitan for it's size/location (nothing on the scale of Toronto mind you) so you never really fall into the white bread mindset there.
BC would be my next choice simply because i like just standing there and breathing. Doesn't matter if it is on the coast ( I love rain --- maybe why i like Kingston so much) or the dry interior... I also like the vibe of Vancouver.
I can't speak to Alberta, but if you are comfortable there, one thing that I have noticed is that moving house is an extremely costly proposition. One that I have avoided doing for the past 14 years because there has never been a viable business case to do so.
