And what do you have? I see Santouka the Jap Restaurant? Very scientific indeed. Joke's on you
Did you even read what they measure for Environment and Equality and how it's normalized? It's a joke. Just like my list. Which was a joke. And I even started putting sarcasm tags at the bottom of my post. And it still goes over your head. Man.

Environment is measured as "volunteer environmentalists per capita" and equality is normalized on a 1-10 scale so Saskatoon gets 10x more equality points than Calgary. I really doubt the pay gap in Calgary is 10x worse than in Saskatoon. Also Oshawa is ranked as having less affordable rents than Vancouver. Come the fuck on.

They "cite" StatCan, but under each section, they put a fake link that is just red coloured text.

It actually infuriates me how horrible this abuse of statistics is.
