Fifth Place!

Not bad, Calgary. Not bad.    

Last year Calgary was ranked 7th, and this is the 11th year that it’s been in the top 10. Apparently cities are assessed across five categories: stability, healthcare, education, culture and environment, and infrastructure. Calgary did well in education, healthcare (really??), and stability.

Woo!

Home, Home on the Interquartile Range

The 2014 ranking for the most livable cities is out!

By some voodoo magic, Vancouver is #3 (after Melbourne and Vienna). I like Vancouver, as you all know, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a livable city. It’s super expensive and the weather will destroy your soul. Also, its close proximity to Surrey should automatically disqualify it.

Toronto is #4; Calgary is tied with Adelaide for #5. No U.S. cities made the top 10.
