Toronto is least happy city in Canada: study

Quebec and P.E.I. are the happiest, says a new report

Compared with dwellers of Quebec and P.E.I., Ontarians are a glum bunch, according to a new study by the Canadian Centre for the Study of Living Standards. In fact, Torontonians fell at the bottom of the pack in a ranking of cities based on life satisfaction and happiness. Some factors that led to Toronto’s low ranking include high stress, a diminished sense of community, and employment worries. But let’s not lose perspective: the Toronto Star notes that Canada as a whole consistently ranks among the five happiest nations in the world, and is the happiest member of the G7.
