Funny how these lists place Vancouver always near the top but in Canadian surveys it always places at the bottom. That's because the Canadian surveys include this little thing called "cost of living" and there is no city in the country within a country mile of Vancouver when it comes to it's extreme cost of living coupled with low wages.

Vancouver has a lot going for it but according to the Canadian surveys your quality of life and standard of living will plunge if you moved to Vancouver.
