Where in Canada is a good place to live?

[Doctor_J]

I have thus far restricted my job search to Vancouver, which I hear is the most beautiful city in NA. I should probably branch out to TO, Calgary, Montreal, and Hamilton, I guess, but I want to be careful. What can you tell me about the cultural aspects of second-level (population-wise) cities. I am speaking of Regina, Lethbridge, PQ City, Waterloo, London, Sudbury, and the like. DO people there drive to work or take the public transportation? Do they a symphony? Decent live theatre? Minor league hockey? Minor league baseball? Is there work in the maritimes (I am looking for work as a math professor)?
