If you are bilingual (English & French), Ottawa offers many more job
opportunities, especially within the government sector.

technology for decades, with Nortel, Mitel and Gandalf being
associated with that area. But Nortel has had recent well-documented
downsizing, I'm not sure what Mitel is up to now, and I don't even
know if Gandalf is still in business (gandalf.com is inscrutable
but certainly not the old modem maker).
Ottawa is COLD in the winter and hot in the summer. International
journalists and diplomats list it as the second-coldest national
capital in the world, after Ulan Bator. It is also bilingual
(English/French)
and has the kind of genteel feel that you expect from a city of
civil servants. It is not a big city. But it's only a few hours drive (or
train ride) to Montreal, and it's well situated for year-round outdoor
recreation.
Toronto has slightly less extremes of weather and is a bustling
cosmopolitan multi-ethnic city with all the joys and problems
that implies.
You should also consider Vancouver. Mild climate, great
physical setting, fun city. And it has earned a reputation
for a growing high-tech industry.
Good luck,

And by far the highest real estate prices in Canada.

The former: sure. The latter: ? Ottawa has it's share of hot (for canada)
weather but it's certainly no hotter than Toronto. In fact, Toronto's
relative humidity levels generally make it hotter in the summer. Whether
this is good or bad depends on what the individual prefers.

True. One should also bear in mind that it has something akin to a rainy
season in the Winter. Once again, personal preference dicates if this is
better or worse than the colder, snowier winters east of the Rockies.

It's no worse than Toronto.
