According to Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Toronto ranks 15th among cities around the world in overall quality of life. That would make us the second-best city in Canada to live in, after Vancouver.
Before Vancourites get all high and mighty you should know they only get ranked so high because of the one thing we can't control: climate. Vancouver's got that mild climate all year while we've got the hot summer days and some damn cold winter nights. Those hot summer days often come with air quality advisories, and that smokes us in the health and sanitation category.
Still, 15 isn't so bad. We finished well ahead of Honolulu which was the highest-ranked U.S. city at 27th and we beat the crap out of Baghdad.
