Vancouver or or Toronto
postitaja Mark Osea sees Toronto foorum
I live in Toronto, and I like it so I may be biased.
I think Toronto is bigger (citywise) so more things available.I don't think you will have too much trouble moving in in December.
The cold and the snow will be interesting, but better that you get used to it right away.
Know your enemy type of thing :)Good luck with your travels and arriving safely here in Canada!
