Certain New Jersey residents, take note. Longtime wmtc reader RobfromAlberta pointed out that, once again, Vancouver has been rated the world's most liveable city . From the CNN story: Vancouver is the world's most desirable place to live, according to a new survey, while Papua New Guinea's Port Moresby is at the other end of the scale. The Canadian city, nestled on the Pacific coast, was one of four locations in that country to rank at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit's livability survey, which looked at conditions in 127 cities. The other top-ranking Canadian cities were Toronto, Calgary and Montreal. Australia also fared well in the survey by the London-based group, with Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney scoring high marks along with Vienna, Austria, and Geneva and Zurich in Switzerland. The EIU study assessed nearly 40 indicators in five broad categories -- stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. ALPF supplied me ...
Sorry--the above post was mine--but I needed spell check and didn't have it. My bad. Anyways...
ReplyDeleteNot a comment about the couch (although I miss it) or even the Couch blog (envious of the Blogger support!!!), but I was just down in Port Credit, and wanted to tell you. It is much nicer than I remember it, as most things are in the GTA. I was a mere teen whenI lived here, and hated everything and almost everyone. I think that you'll like it a bunch. It is one part of Mississauga that has eluded the suburban touch.
Hey, thanks for this Andy! You coulda left the typos in. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe also really like Port Credit, for just that reason. The funny thing is, we stumbled on it by accident on our first trip up to Toronto, and got the (incorrect) impression that all the suburbs were cute little towns like that. After looking around more, and seeing how unique Port Credit is, we really wanted to live there.
Plus it's so close to downtown, and has decent public transit to Toronto, compared to most places in Mississauga.
We can't believe how lucky we were to find this house so easily.

You will appreciate that when I was growing up in the NYC suburbs, my theme song was "...it's a town for losers, I'm pulling outta here to win..."
You saw a great show, eh? Bruce never disappoints.
Thanks for stopping by to tell me this.
