Can't comment on the rest, but both Toronto and Vancouver have a large ethnic population.
Funny that you only count "Black, Hispanic or Arab" but leave out every other part of the world in your definition of non-white.
I also don't think Australia, New Zealand, or Vancouver count as being a cold climate.
As for socialized medicine, I am sure that did play a role, as I would think part of assessing the livability of a place would be the accessibility of affordable health care.

Getting care, getting timely care, getting quality care and paying for it are all different things.

Actually, the reason our cities are so liveable is because they're built to keep said creatures out
