Brantford now a days is much like London with the decrepid downtown with the edges much nicer. The casino alone was probably enough to push Brantford up the list. Good on Milton for it's ranking.

Moncton - would be nice except for the sprawling, ugly surburbia, with inappropriately (and prominently) placed, low-rent strip clubs. On second thought, there isn't anything else. The mayor of Dieppe (a suburb of Moncton - definitely NOT its own city) was on the local Maritime news a while back, bragging about how his "city" was the capital of the Acadian culture, and a great city in its own right, implying "so don't even try to amalagamate us with Moncton" - not after we just built this big, multimillion-dollar city hall - all said with a smug, french-Canadian accent (am I allowed to say that?) - I just about puked. As far as Ottawa in first place - it wasn't even a fair fight, what with all the tax dollars at work there. The roads remind me of westen Germany - smooth. Winnipeg's murder rate is awfully high, as is Regina's - weird. Halifax - we gotta get that murder rate down, too, but apparently everybody bought a new car last year. Brantford at # 50? The last time I was there, the downtown core looked a little like Bosnia, or a city in the Mid-East, but without the delicious falafals. I hope Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge/Toyota Plant/Guelph gets an NHL franchise - and they don't need you, metro-Toronto-people. Big-ups to Tillsonburg - it has everything you need, and Lake Lisgar.
