While some of you may not believe Caetllonn and me when we talk about how wonderful Vancouver, is, seems that the world has taken notice as well:

Vancouver - Ranked #1 City in the World to Live

[drdiver]

Any study that ranked Cleveland and Pittsburgh as the best cities to live in in the U.S. is, er, let's just say.... open to question.

Actually I don't have a problem with that statement. I've spent a lot of time in Vancouver over the years and really like it, despite the cloudy climate. I still have a cousin living in north Vancouver, and if I hadn't had personal reasons to turn it down I would have taken a job there many years ago, and become a Canadian. Now, as a Brit I'm not even eligible to live there - I was offered a provincial government job more recently and Ottawa refused to ratify it because I wasn't either Canadian or from a "preferred" country.

I can go along with Calgary as well. Great city to live in, though I've only visited. You can keep Toronto though.

Peter, I find it odd that you have found that as a Brit you are not "eligible" to live here since Canada is a commonwealth country. I know a lot of British people who have moved here. In fact, half of my family background is from England. Do you recall the specific explanation?

Michelle - I've sent you a pm. The whole story is too convoluted to inflict on people here.
