It also has to be a place where immigration happened (toutes proportions gardées). For that matter, I really think that the 3 most "canadian" cities of the country would be :
- Moncton (English, French, Mi'kmaq);
- Montréal (French, English, Mohawk);
- Winnipeg (English, French, Métis, various FN);
- Honourable mention to Ottawa, though it lacks the FN factor...

The least "canadian" places would be those monolithic enclaves, with no real connection to the rest of the country. The example that comes to mind is Westmount, QC. They never tried to blend or whatever...

Anyway, just my POV. I had a great time reading the 7 previous pages.

Who are "the English"? As far as I know, actual Englishmen were not all that influential in Canadian history. If you mean Scots and Americans, then I get it (although many of the Americans who were Loyalists were of German background and didn't even speak English).
