- Anyway, its pretty hard to beat BC in terms of variety. Mountains, ocean, Vancouver, Victoria, semi-arid hills with vineyards, lakes, hot springs, world class ski resorts, and lots of beautiful islands. There is so much to do there.

2nd would be Quebec for its cultural charms. 3rd is Nova Scotia as I love the ocean up there.

My vote goes to Ontario since it is 40% of Canada's economy, BC comes next for its beauty.

BC is my favorite. I love the Okanagan! I also grew up there.

Alberta is #2... Its the place to be if you are looking for a high paying job.

Yes it's in the south Okanagan! I like the fact that its so dry here and we get really hot weather in the summer! However I do see it all everyday and would like to see some other provinces. How's Quebec or Ontario?

All of them have their own special beauty and merits. For me it is a toss up between New Brunswick and Quebec.

For me, it would be tied between British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. I love all of those three provinces!

Alberta seems nice, especially the Canadian rockies there and Calgary.

I dont think Im a fan of Saskatchiwan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Yukon Territory, Nunavut, and Northwest territories.

Does anyone on city-data even live or have visited the Yukon territory, Nunavut, Northwest territories, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia?

Naturally BC, ON, and Quebec would line up as top 3 for most people as they have the lions share of noteriety in Canada with perhaps Alberta edging near.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan are pretty much comparable to the Dakotas in the US.

Yes I have been to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI. They are beautiful and have some of the best coastal scenery I've seen anywhere. I actually think Nova Scotia is better than Maine because it is less crowded and more dramatic and rugged rocky Atlantic Shores with cool lighthouses. Halifax, NS is sort of like a Canadian miniature Boston, very historic seaport city with a huge harbor. New Brunswick has a Fundy National Park, home of the worlds highest tides. PEI has great red sand beaches and warm ocean currents, and nostalgic quaint little villages, it's a fun place to be in the summer. I think the Canadian Maritimes certainly do merit a fun filled trip, to live there, that might be difficult as the economy is not so strong.

I haven't made it to the 3 northern territories (YT, NWT, Nunavut), but I've seen Alaska already so I'll just as well check those off my list.
