ALONG with death and taxes, the one thing that used to be taken for granted in life was Vancouver’s pre-eminence in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s liveability ranking. Well not any more. After almost a decade as—officially—the best place to live, the Canadian city has been consigned to third spot in August's survey, with Melbourne (pictured) rising to first, ahead of Vienna.
Sweet Vancouver is mentioned at great lengths in this. Third place is still pretty kickass. Can't believe Toronto and Calgary made it to the top ranks though. Wouldn't call either places home. To each their own, eh?

Re: Liveability ranking
Calgary should be at the bottom of the list.

If I'm gone for a week, don't fret HikiCulture. If I'm gone for a month, it's no big deal. If six months pass by, something is up. If I'm gone for a year, assume that I am dead.

Re: Liveability ranking
Toronto's coming up, Vancouver. Watch yo backs!
I can't wait to visit Victoria Island - I'll probably never leave.
