For your Canadian picks, interesting that you picked Red Deer, AB when you could have picked Hamilton, ON, which has about 6x as many people in the metro.

Hamilton, ON, is very industrial. It's basically like the US Rust Belt, with it's fair share of bad neighborhoods but mostly small, crowded housing and big city prices. I've been to the area quite a bit and I would not want to live there at all.

Be that as it may (I'll take your word for it), Red Deer still strikes me as the least likely (along with Trois Rivieres that the OP already said might have been an error) to actually matter then.  How about Halifax?  Plenty big and nice.
