A newly released report reveals what are currently the worst and best cities in Canada to be a woman. According to the report, Victoria, British Columbia ranks as the best city, while Windsor, Ontario (which has been referred to both as the "earth's rectum" and the "worst place on earth") ranked worst.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) annual report looked at 25 Canadian cities, studying the following categories affecting women in each: economic security, education, health, leadership, and security.

Victoria ranks high especially in terms of economic security and leadership. "It is the only city where there are more women employed than men employed," according to the report. As well, it's one of the only cities studied where men are more likely to live below the poverty line than women.

Edmonton, Alberta, which has one of the largest pay gaps between men and women, also ranks low on the list at 18. Toronto, Canada's most populous city, comes in tenth place—there, employment rate is above average for men, whereas it's below average for women. Vancouver ranks fifth.
