I used to live in Vancouver for almost 5.years.Last year i moved to Toronto.I would like to write two more thins:

1.In B.C in Vancouver every family pay monthly 114$ for B.C.Medical cards.In all other Canadian provinces medical cards are free.So in Toronto you do not pay for this.

2.In B.C. there is only one car insurance company -ICBC.In Ontario there are hundreds of them with cheaper prices.
