Livable if money is not a big concern.....
Of the top three, I would go with Vancouver.
I haven't been but I heard it is spectacular. I have visited Toronto and Montreal and had a positive experience.
I am not sure they took sports into account when they considered "livabaility." Of those cities, only Toronto has a sports scene to speak of.
I am not surprised none of the US cities made it. Bureaucrats have run most of the US cities into the ground. If you walk around the streets of some of the US cities, even the major ones- it is not really a good scene. I was in SF not too long ago and i couldn't even believe what was going on, NY as well. You only need to turn on the news to see what is happening in Chicago.......
The list as a whole is skewed, since the metrics favor big cities which are administration centers. Quite a few people would probably favor living in a smaller town, as long as transportation is available, so services are not too hard to come by.
I could think of a few places in Australia where I'd like to live, but Sydney and Melbourne are not among them. This as an example, since I've visited both.
"It's just like I always said! You can do battle with strength, you can do battle with wits, but no weapon can beat a great pair of tits!"
The judges have never lived in the North.
They thought making snow man is fun.
I have a 10hr layover in Vancouver in December. Is there anything to do besides make snowmen?
What are the demographics of these cities I wonder?
Pft... cities, give me a wide-open suburb or countryside any day.

Did I mention any city at all or imply it was skewed toward any city? No, I was implying that it's as ridiculous as all the happiness and social index reports that some random company decides to put out each year based on some rating that they randomly generate. As the post after my initial one was, they oddly left out anything that makes a place livable.
Went to Calgary this summer. No complaints really, place is chill.
Upper-class gated communities in nanny states considered the most livable in the world you say?
Not propaganda at all.
There are no bathrooms, only Zuul.
