Is that better than EverBlack's example? Also looking at places at 49N is looks as though it generally carries a bit less daylight than that Earlier sunsets in summer than 22:00 everywhere I've looked even for quasi-westerly 50N places like Plymouth.
For places around 49-50N, I guess Cherbourg's 5:59 am - 10:18 pm (summer) // 9:01 am - 5: 09 pm (winter) rise/set times would be among the most skewed towards the evening.

A Thunder Bay with moderate temps would be Paris. Their times are almost identical! I think Paris is near ideal for its latitude, but I'd like seasonal differences to be slightly more pronounced. North of about 55N, the early summer sunrises and lowish summer sun start getting annoying though. I think Grande Prairie, Alberta has pretty darn good times, although a place further south like Grande Cache might be better.

Grande Prairie is certainly better than Malmö and Lund daylight-wise due to brighter evenings and afternoons Shame about the temps though!
You're too far north and your solar noons are too early! Pre-3 pm sunsetsand pre-4 am sunrises are a big no-no. At your latitude solar noons about 45 minutes later would be preferable. Summer sunsets would be very late though.

Winter mornings would be depressive, but the later sunsets in early spring more than compensates for that Civil twilight lasting until 18:45 on Feb 28 is marvellous for this latitude.
I'd say 6 am to 9 pm is an ideal summer daylength. That's a solar noon of 1:30 pm. In winter, that's a day of about 8 am to 5 pm. A rather late sunrise, but it's solstice and I'm estimating. This would be around 45°N, right?
