BC has it all. You can have all the cold weather and snow you want or you can live in an area that very rarely gets snow, let alone freezing weather. You can also live in an area that is as hot and dry as Texas or cool and wet most of the year (thank the mountain ranges for that). As much as I like Vancouver, I could never live there. I like country living too much to live there again. I can deal with the drive when I need my city fix. Victoria and the rest of Vancouver Island is a great place to live if you like the ocean and you can put up with ferry rides once in a while.
Here's a panorama pic I took last week while on
Vancouver Island.
Alberta is nice too. The people are great and the economy is cooking. If I were going to live there I would choose the outskirts of Calgary..no question. The weather there is not as bad as some would have you believe and as Minx says, not everybody is a redneck and the stampede is a blast.
Ontario has a lot of big cities if that's what you want. The countryside is very nice, with lots of lakes and rolling hills. The only thing that drove me nuts is the very cold long winters and the humid sticky summers.
Never been to Quebec or the Maritimes, but I plan to one day. I have friends from Newfoundland and New Brunswick. They are some of the friendliest people you could ever meet.
The thing is, Canada is so stinkin' big that you could never sum it up in a few paragraphs.
Come on up and check it out...even Americans are welcome
