I'd recommend Montreal or Quebec City instead as a tourist though if you basically have the pick of the litter among Canadian cities.

Agreed. If you have money, family there, etc., Vancouver is an ideal place to live. It's basically a large town vs a city like Toronto which is like NYC Jr. .
Toronto is generally flat, grid like, towers, suburban sprawl. No real scenery to look at. The one we do (Scarborough Bluffs) pales in comparison to Vancouver's topography. If you're younger and looking for the club/bar scene, Toronto of course. Though I will say, Toronto's walkability and just local buzz of energy has been greatly enhanced lately. There are more niche older neighbourhoods vs Vancouver that is more fun to walk around in.
Montreal is a good place to visit for sure. More European feel. Won't get too much out of Toronto that NYC wouldn't have. Basically if you want a NYC experience but alot more quaint, Toronto is good for that.
