I've driven (and lived) in Montreal; if a car with Quebec plates flashes it's brake lights at a stop sign it is because the driver's foot slipped off the accelerator. My wife was raised in Victoria... 'tis absolutely true. (They say that Victoria is the place for the newlyweds and nearlydeads.) Beautiful city though.
Red Deer is a "city" of about 68,000 half way between Edmonton (Wayne Gretzky town) and Calgary. I have lived there and my mother still lives there. Oh it's true.
Saskatoon is east of Red Deer and just inside the Saskatchewan border (making it north from Regina... more or less). It is COLD and snowy there (especially in winter). But they have great arts and music programs so I can't go too hard on them.
Vancouver...my brother lives there and it's on the way to visit the in-laws who live in Victoria. Oh yeah. (I know an ethnic joke about some Vancouver drivers but political correctness prevents me from relating it in public).
Prince George is 'up north' in BC. Loggers and hunters (mostly).
I go to Calgary once every few months to remind myself why I prefer to live in a smaller city (with less traffic).
Toronto... been there, done that... for four years.
Ottawa... same story.
I visited LA area once about 4? or 5 years back....and still shudder to think of how many cars around me had weapons hidden (or not so hidden) away in them. That was the year that a high school girl got blasted by the cops because she was asleep in her car waiting for her father to come and fix a flat tire. The police approached her and, startled, she appeared to make a move for the gun in her lap. Wrong move. (Whatever DID happen to that? There must have been an inquiry).
Maybe that's why I think it's so darn funny... it's true!
