We’re coming for you next year, Boucherville. Ottawa has jumped up to second
place in the ranking of best places to live in Canada, according to MoneySense,
a personal finance and lifestyle magazine. The winner, Boucherville, is a suburb
of Montreal with a population of just over 43,000 and moved up from sixth place
last year. The nation’s capital — with more than 950,000 people — moved from
fourth to second place since last year. Part of that is on the city’s own
merits, but Ottawa also received a bump in the rankings thanks to the declining
fortunes of some cities out west because of slumping oil prices, said David
Hodges, a senior editor at MoneySense. via
