Toronto has been ranked the seventeenth best city in the world to inhabit -- one of six Canadian cities to make the top 100, according to a new poll conducted by Vancouver-based firm Resonance Consultancy Ltd.
Resonance says it developed a "unique methodology" that leverages reviews left on travel sites like TripAdvisor. That data was combined with statistics about the factors citizens and businesses consider important in choosing a city.

The paper identifies 24 influencing factors, including the quality of the natural and built environments, in which weather is a sub-category.

In the seventeenth spot, Toronto is Canada's highest-ranking city. Vancouver took the 41st spot, followed by Montreal (45), Calgary (48), Ottawa (77), and Edmonton (83).

TORONTO'S CHARM

Resonance gave Toronto big points for economic growth and immigration. The city also received a nod for the Raptors' recent NBA Championship title.

While not mentioned in the report, Toronto is home to several stunning green spaces, like the Evergreen Brick Works, or High Park -- which is famous for its springtime cherry blossom displays:

The city may have lost some points for its weather, with daily lows around -10°C and daily highs around 0°C not uncommon in December, January, and February -- and that's before the windchill is factored in.

@DrCChambers Very little snow in Toronto, but super cold! Still enough for snow angels
