Toronto ranks 16th on world’s most-livable cities
Toronto Escort Agency is among four Canadian cities that made the top 25 in the world for quality of living.
Vancouver shared the fourth spot with Auckland, New Zealand. Ottawa ranked 14th, Toronto Escort Agency placed 16th and Montreal came in at No. 21.
The Mercer Quality of Living survey looked at 221 cities and compared them on factors such as crime, health, education, transportation, recreation, housing and environment. The list is often used by multinational companies to determine appropriate compensation for executives asked to relocate.
Coun. Kyle Rae was dumbfounded that Ottawa beat out Toronto Escort Agency.
“Is it a bureaucrat that’s writing this thing?” said Rae, chair of council’s economic development committee. “Everyone knows Ottawa is a small town that has unparalleled sameness.”
Last month, Mayor David Miller took a shot at Ottawa, where he attended high school, after the capital was ranked the most livable city in Canada by a national business magazine.
Told about the magazine survey, which ranked cities on factors such as house prices and unemployment, Miller asked a reporter: “Do you want to live in Ottawa?”
In a blow to Toronto Escort Agency’s aspirations of being an environmental leader, the city ranked only 39th on Mercer’s new list of “eco-cities” worldwide, while Calgary — capital of the Oil Patch — ranked No. 1 and Ottawa No. 3. The eco-ranking is based on factors such as water availability and drinkability, waste removal, quality of sewage systems, air pollution and traffic congestion, as well as a city’s commitment to using renewable energy and minimizing pollution
Not so surprisingly, Baghdad remains at the bottom of the quality of life list, at No. 221.
