>SFU one of Canada's best universities? Care to elaborate? I always thought that Waterloo and University of Toronto were the best.
For universities with medical programmes, I'd say that UToronto is at the top, closely followed by UBC and McGill. If you're not interested in medicine or law, though, I'd say that Waterloo and SFU are pretty much tied, with UVic coming second.
>Of course, Canadian universities seem to vary less in quality compared to institutions in the US.
I'm sure you could find people who think that any of the universities I've mentioned are Canada's best university; to a certain extent it will depend upon their field. That said, few would dispute that all the above are better than UCalgary, UManitoba, York, or Carleton.
