1 week ago Toronto just outranked all of Canada in list of world's best cities

Toronto just outranked all of Canada in a new list of the world's best cities, beating out other major cities like Vancouver and Montreal. On Tuesday, global consultancy firm Resonance Consultancy and Ipsos Research released its renowned 2026 World's Best Cities rankings, and Toronto managed to crack the top 20 list at #17. The report highlights the top 100 most globally influential and economically prosperous cities with populations of more than one million to live, visit, and invest in.

Thanks to years of affordability challenges, it looks like happiness — especially in major cities across Canada — is slipping, although there's one place in Ontario that's faring better than the rest. Based on market researcher Leger's Happy Cities 2025 report released in July, real estate agency Zoocasa analyzed Canada's 10 largest cities to see where residents feel the happiest, and how much that happiness actually costs. Overall, Canadians rated their happiness at an average of 68.7 out of 100 in Leger's report, which grouped respondents as very happy (scores of 9 to 10), happy (7 to 8), or unhappy (1 to 6). After collecting more than 39,800 responses from across the country, the report found that only two of the country's largest cities scored above the national benchmark. To see how housing can influence happiness, Zoocasa compared Leger's report with average home prices from the Canadian Real Estate Ass...
