For a somewhat temperate climate and English speaking, you're probably looking at either the west coast, or (depending on your definition) southern Ontario. For affordable rent, avoid Vancouver and Toronto, but there are plenty of smaller cities that are both nice to live in and (more) affordable. I'm biased toward Victoria - on Vancouver Island, population ~ 350k, about a 90 minute ferry + hour drive from Vancouver. (Of course, "affordable" is relative. It's way cheaper than IE San Francisco, but expensive compared to many other places.
