From the perspective of corrosion the entire county is hard on cars with the exception of the Lower Mainland IMO.

Ontario cars CAN be okay so long as they were genuinely never winter driven - though be warned, most people drive their cars year round and most cars are coated with rust proof.

Quebec has hard winters compared to the GTA, much more snowfall = much more salt on the roads, don't consider cars from Quebec unless they are some rich assholes summer toy. There are also a lot of rebuilds in Quebec that stay off the radar somehow.. maybe because the entire province is beyond corrupt.

Alberta cars endure hard winters with extensive rock chips and freeze thaw cycles, they rust.. the same issues are encountered in Sask and Manitoba.

The Maritimes and Newfoundland, don't even consider it, it's as if the air itself has an elevated salt content, even if your car never gets rained on it will still rust solely from elevated humidity and that salty-airness.

Basically, if you live in the lower mainland, take advantage of the fact that cars here corrode slow, if at all, the weather system here preserves cars remarkably well - Buy local.
