I can definitely picture San Francisco in either New York or New Jersey. And for some reason, I think SF would fit in perfectly in Maine.

I feel like Spokane, WA could easily fit into Colorado or Montana.

I agree with you comment on Vancouver, and I've never been to Calgary, but I do have to question: have you even been to Canada?

Toronto, which is flat, is nothing like the New York cities, which tend to be hilly. Toronto is new, shiny, clean, with modern architecture. The Upstate New York cites are characterized by crumbling Art Deco buildings, abandonment, and decay. Crossing from Buffalo to Fort Erie is a jarring contrast. Nothing about Toronto in any way, shape, or form feels like the rustbelt. Toronto is more like a bigger version of Minneapolis with Chicago's geography.

Apart from geography and maple syrup, Montreal and Quebec City have nothing in common with Vermont and New York. Quebec City is like nothing in the United States. In my opinion, Montreal felt like a snowy cross between San Francisco and Istanbul.

Newfoundland is not a city.

No, I haven't.

I chose Toronto for New York because Ontario looks like it could physically be in either the Upper Midwest and the Interior Northeast, of course, there is that rust belt factor that comes in direct contrast to it I'll admit. And the geography was the sole reason I lumped Montreal and Quebec City with Vermont and New York.

As for Newfoundland, I think I was thinking about Halifax when I did that, my mistake. I keep forgetting that Newfoundland is a province.

Culture and geography-wise, where do you think I should've added the Canadian cities in other than Vancouver?
