I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.

EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!!

If you want mountains, you're kinda limited. Vancouver, BC, has great mountains, ocean, and forest access, but COL is pretty high for Canada. Calgary, AB is the closest city to the Canadian Rockies, but is in the middle of nowhere elsewise.

If you're looking for good internet, though, you're going to want Vancouver or Toronto. Those are the tech hubs of Canada.

We'd need to know what they mean by high-speed but I think it's mostly everywhere nowadays. Just the very remote won't have it. I know farmers with high speed internet.

Love Calgary and Edmonton. But the UCP is ruining this province. Please don't come here.

We have really good internet in Winnipeg. We currently have 1.5 gig fibreoptic for our home. Winnipeg has a decent cultural scene, but no mountains, I'm sorry to say. Cost of living is one of the better options, at least for western Canada. As I've mentioned elsewhere, there is a lot of racism towards First Nations here.

If you're good with cold, you might enjoy it. We were literally coldervthan Mars recently. Not a great city for your car, especially if it rides low to the ground, lol.

Slight clarification

QC has mountains. Some of the best Skiing and MTBing around. NB has fiber internet. Cheaper too. I recently had fiber installed at my cottage in central Ontario. So you don't have to be anywhere near Toronto. In fact, Toronto is one of the most expensive places for fiber. Smaller towns have actual competition.
