I'd prefer Ottawa myself. Visited last year and really loved the experience. I hate hot weather with the fire of a thousand suns (live in Austin right now). I'd love to live somewhere it's never hot. Plus my wife and I really loved the atmosphere in Canada in general.

So Ottawa does have a tech industry -- QNX, Corel, Shopify, etc. were all founded there, and a bunch of big name tech companies have engineering offices there) -- but just so you know, Ottawa does get hot and humid in the summer. Not as bad as Texas, but it does get hot.
