The Most Miserable City in Canada

Michael Bolan of Yahoo News writes:

"While Toronto came in at the bottom of the list (Sherbrooke, Que., was at the top), citizens of the megacity can take comfort in the fact, on average, they remain a fairly happy bunch. Toronto scored a 4.15 out of 5 on the happiness scale while Sherbrooke scored a 4.37. This means citizens in the happiest city were only about 5.5 per cent happier than in the least contented."

A central difference, according to the report, is that people in smaller regions have a greater sense of belonging to a community.
