Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver may be Canada's largest and most dynamic cities, but according to Amazon.ca, they just don't cut it in the romance department.
None of the big three even make the online retailer's second-annual list of Canada's top 20 romantic cities.
Based on Amazon.ca sales of romance novels, sex and relationship books, romantic comedy DVDs and Michael Buble CDs since Jan. 1, pretty Victoria -- the retirement capital of British Columbia -- is No. 1 in the love department.
Also surprising, smaller cities across Ontario seem to be hotbeds of romance: No fewer than 11 Ontario communities are ranked in the top 20. Food for thought when planning a romantic getaway.
Couples looking for places to feel the love this Valentine's Day may want to consider one of these hidden centres of amour: Guelph, Calgary, Saskatoon, Oakville, Regina, Kingston, Kelowna, Nepean, Burlington, Winnipeg, Richmond Hill, Edmonton, London, Kitchener, St. Catharines, Burnaby, Thunder Bay, Richmond and Ottawa.
