Location: fairly equal
Cities: In my book the two major cities in Quebec slightly edge out the two cities they are usually compared to in Ontario (Montreal vs Toronto, Quebec City vs Ottawa), though the Ontario cities are no slouches either; the Ontario cities tend to be better run and more functional, whereas the Quebec cities have a more fun vibe and character.
Climate: Quite similar - especially in summer - but most people probably prefer milder winters so Ontario has a slight edge; if you are a winter sports enthusiast go for Quebec (or Ottawa in Ontario)
Landscape/beauty: Quebec
Economy diversity: Ontario
Demographic diversity: Ontario
Culture: Quebec
Language: Makes no difference to me since I speak both but having children I prefer Quebec which gives them a better chance to be truly bilingual; this is harder in Ontario because the English language and the culture that goes along with it are such juggernauts
Education:roughly equivalent
Friendliness: equal; people in Quebec are more talkative and outgoing, but less formally polite; people in Ontario are more reserved but are among the most polite and civil people I have encountered
More things to see/do: pretty similar, plus the stuff to see in either province is not so far from the other
Family friendly: Quebec
Cost of living: Quebec
Shopping: very similar
Location: Ontario
Cities: Montreal is beautiful and has better nightlife, but Toronto is a better city overall.
Climate: Southern Ontario
Landscape/beauty: Ontario and the great lakes, Niagara falls, Algonquin provincial park etc etc..
Economy diversity:Ontario
Demographic diversity: Ontario
Culture: Quebec
Language:Ontario, not as many restrictions.
Education:Both
Friendliness: Ontario
More things to see/do:Ontario
Family friendly:Ontario
Cost of living:Quebec
Shopping: The same to me.
