I second that... In my industry - Toronto is one of the fastest growing airport regions in Either Canada or the U.S..Finance itself is a huge industry with many facets so a complete comparison would need to be made. Certainly I wouldn't be moving to a foreign country unless I had a good job lined up (which would be very much connected to having the ability to live here). Aside from those things Canadian cities always perform well in global QOL surveys though it isn't a one size fits all measure.

-Urban center is very walkable. mmmm... one main street (Barrington), with some core. Walkable, but without the urban vibrancy that you are looking for perhaps. Lots of buildings on that street are being deserted. Politicians talk of revival, but everything is done slow in NS.
-Public transit is a must (Preferably a street car or light rail system) you are making me laugh.
-No further west than Calgary
-I like cities that have a lot of room to grow, because I'd like to be apart of that. everything is done slow in NS
-Ample finance jobs. some
-Airport and train. well, of course
-Safe well, Canadian cities are generally safe
-Water fronts are a plus, but not required. This is "Canada's ocean playground"
