So much truth in this.
When I was going to school in Ontario, there were a lot of smaller cities that were very, very nice to live in -- or at least they appeared that way to a wide-eyed university kid. London was nice. Kitchener-Waterloo was nice. Cambridge was a bit of a dump back then, but I've been told it has changed a lot. Guelph was very homey, if a little inconvenient. Georgetown seemed decent. Kingston felt very comfortable too, and Ottawa + surrounding suburbs felt very livable too.
Halifax was beautiful. People in Winterpeg are super friendly -- but mosquitoes are insane.
I am 100% a city person, but I can certainly picture myself living in any of the aformentioned cities. You can even argue that the weather in those cities are no worse than what we get in Vancouver. Yes, it gets cold everywhere in Canada except for Vancouver and Victoria, but most of those other cities aren't drenched in rainy gray skies from Oct to March either.
