Want snow? go to the east coast to Toronto or Montreal.

Want rain ( alot of rain and very little snow) go to the west coast like vancouver.

I lived in alberta for a long time and if you like american texas style of people and living thats your place.

Toronto probably is the best for IT as its the biggest city in canada but Vancouver,montreal and calgary are not far behind.

reminds me:

"That '70s Show: Canadian Road Trip (#3.23)" (2001)

Steven Hyde: We're part of an elite, high school terrorist team. The Strike Force Wisconsin!

Eric: Okay, guys. Road trip checklist. Car: Check. Okay. We're good.

Fez: Is there anything about Canada we need to know before we get there?

Steven Hyde: Well, the beer is stronger, and as a result, their women look prettier.

Fez: Then let's haul ass to Canada!

Eric: Okay. Shh. Fez. If my dad finds out that we're going to Canada uh, for beer, no less, he's gonna start killing people, okay? People like us. So keep it down.

Michael Kelso: [Runs up to the guys] All right! Canada! Whoo-hoo! Beer!

[blows his horn]

Eric: Kelso, you're not going.

Michael Kelso: What? Why not?

Steven Hyde: Because this is a risky mission and you tend to screw these things up.

Michael Kelso: That is a damnable lie!

Eric: Okay. Kelso, remember that time we were gonna put a flaming bag of dog poop in front of Principal Pridwell's door, and you lit it in the car on the way over?

Michael Kelso: Yeah, I wanted to see it all flamey.

Eric: And then you panicked and stepped on it.

Michael Kelso: Eric, it was on fire!

Eric: Okay, You're not going.

Michael Kelso: No, no, no. Fine. I won't use the air horn, and I'll pay for the gas and the beer

Eric: I can't stay mad at you... Come on, you big lug.

Leo: [already sitting in the backseat of the car] Hey, dudes.

Steven Hyde: Leo, man, what are you doin' here?

Leo: Sittin'. What are you doin' here?

Steven Hyde: We're goin' to Canada to buy beer.

Leo: Canada? Cool, man. I spent some time up there during 'Nam.

Eric: Oh, conscientious objector, huh?

Leo: No. I didn't mind. Hey, a road trip sounds good, man, but I don't want nothin' to do with that beer. That stuff will mess with your mind, man.

BTW are americans in general always negative to canadians? How come?

I haven't met any hostile americans yet and i live like 1 hour from the border so we go back and forth alot. cheaper electronics and canadian dollar is pretty much at par with the americans right now( doesn't make the canadian dollar sound to good ) so thats alright and yah we get healthcare and they don't.

if i was american i would be jealous of that hahaha.
