Default Vancouver 4th best city in the world

Vancouver has been ranked by Mercer HR Consulting as the 4th best city in the world to live. It also topped the list as the best city in North America.

Quote:
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver has been ranked the best city to live in in North America according to the Mercer survey.

This particular list looked at quality of life in 215 cities around the world taking into account access to public transit, what it's like to get around by car, and even the availability of water.

Globally, Mercers ranks Vancouver fourth best after Vienna, Zurich and Geneva. Canadian cities dominate the top of the index in North America. After Vancouver - Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary are all ranked higher than the top U.S. city, Honolulu, which comes in at 29th.

Shouldn't this be in the joke thread? Nah just kidding. I have heard that Vancouver is quite nice, but never had the pleasure of going there myself.

I went to Vancouver several times when I was in the ARMY. It was a great city to visit, I am sure it has changed since 1982!

It all depends upon the parameters set up for evaluating "best", I guess.

Just be glad the ability to pronounce the word "about" wasn't high on the agenda. I won't even mention those 432 cloudy days a year .......

We also lost points for pronouncing 'roof' and 'out' wrong but gained points for 'eh' and the correct spelling of 'colour'.
