Do you already consider Quebec to not be part anymore of Canada ? It's not already done !!!
Vancouver 2010

Victoria!
Short, extremely biased reason:
It's my hometown!
Longer, not-so-extremely-biased somewhat-logical reason:
Temperature: No air temperatures lower than about -5C; Very little snow, if any; No extended periods of 30+ C temperatures (a couple of short bursts of ~3 days max).
Living: Relatively low traffic compared to Vancouver or Toronto; large amounts of green space; very little pollution due to industry (for that matter, there isn't much industry -- and what we have is only light industry; Victoria's main "industries" are tourism and government) .
Plus, of course, that little-known detail: It's my hometown!
PS: I could elaborate even more, but I just don't have the energy right now.

Where's Montreal and Quebec (city)?

Sorry, forgot those.
I suppose they're not in Canada anymore. Boy, did I miss that news story.
Never been to Canada, but it might be a showdown between Toronto and Vancouver. Though my parents told me Montreal was quite nice during the '76 Olympics.

Victoria's just a little too nice. Victoria boasts the community of Oak Bay, which is where Canadian billionaires go to retire. It's also the tourism gem of Western Canada, so it's supernaturally clean and cute with floral baskets hanging all over the place. It's British, in oh all the right ways. Being a relatively old city, Victoria's naturally ordered streets are shaded by great oaks and massive blossoming cherry trees, and it's not unusual to find families living in well-maintained heritage houses a hundred years old.
Just too nice. Oh and Island boy
forgot to mention the wind chill. And the cougars.
I voted Vancouver. No wind here
. No brazen deer chewing up the bok choi either. Ha.
Vancouver also bestows the natural pure goodness of H2O to the complexion, and that, with a near total absence of harsh sunlight, means Vancouver women sport the finest skin on Earth.
Vancouver also is multicultural. Totally, irrevocably, overwhelmingly multicultural. Everyone's here.

I can't say which one it is but it isn't Thunder Bay. Or at least I hope not. Winnipeg is ok but I don't want to live there, it's a good road trip in the summer.

I loved all of Canada when I was there, but the best city in my opinion is Vancouver. Everything about it was great 
I especially liked the surrounding area, the scenery was really nice - the sea, forests etc. Grouse mountain was great, the Imax theatre was pretty cool... I just love it all! 
Then again, i've just got a thing for Canada...

Québec City. Nice place, very low temperatures (just out of a ten days -25 to -35 °C period), but liveable anyway.
I will talk for province of Québec,
Québec city is very nice, the old quarter especialy but i will personaly choose Sherbrooke, it is smaller ( maybe about 100 000 poeple) but much nicer, this city is built within nature, a river flow within it, as well as several hills surrounded it.
Sherbrooke is not a concrete city, its a city built in a forest area but a nice highway give acces to it. There is some electronic buisness around as well as many other. There is also lots of recreative site around, like public beach around very nice lake ( in summer time of course), lots of skiing facility and snow board activity. Fishing, hunting also.
Sherbrooke is a paradise small city.
I should go visit the west, the rocky hills and the pacific coast on day, hope so.

My first inclination would be to vote for Montreal because I love their baseball team. However, since Montreal is a French-speaking city, I could not bring myself to do this.
I'll have to say Ottawa. I know a guy from Ottawa and he's a decent individual. There is also a street here named Ottawa and a friend of mine used to live on it.
