Oh, Cardiff doesn't look like a shithole. Actually when I Googled for Wales back then I thought that it's a pretty nice city. I was supposed to go to Wrexham and that looked like a very bad shithole.
Great, if all goes according to the plan I should be there.
Yes, that's quite possible
If it comes to Vancouver I Googled for the prices and some things seem cheaper than Toronto (public transport, a few random restaurants). Don't know about accommodation yet.
Also, it has only 8,6 rainy days on average as opposed to about 10 in Toronto or Warsaw, Poland. That sounds good.
Well, so I've planned my trip, just have to organize it now. Found out that I can go Visa-free but I need a new, biometric passport, groar bad Canada, bad. Took a sexay pic today, will take care of the passport tomorrow and hope it arrives in time.

If your looking for landscape, scenery etc, beaches, lakes etc. then Vancouver over Toronto is a no brainer. Toronto is flat, dry, arid and dusty. We do get more rain in general but August/September is gearing up to be hot and pretty dry. I was just in Toronto last month and Vancouver in general is more expensive but they are relatively similar.
I've been to Ottawa a few times because I have family there. It was pretty much America Lite there. One time we drove there and to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and on the way back, we stopped in Toronto. Went to the top of the CN tower and as soon as we got down, we heard a loud bang and that's when the great Northeast Blackout of 2003 began.
I can't talk for other cities, but Montreal is a pretty nice city to visit. There's the Old Port, the nightlife, the Botanical Garden, the people, etc. Montreal is pretty bilingual. Especially in touristic locations so you should be fine. Quebec city is also nice to visit, but its extremely French. Maybe hizzle could make some recommendations for you up there.
Toronto is pretty Americanized. I don't like it. I find it rather boring, but I guess I could see why some tourists wanna visit it. There's the Niagara falls next to Toronto. I heard great things about Vancouver. Their weather is warmer than in Montreal, but you'll catch more rain. And I heard it was more expensive too as Flipmo said.
How long are you planning on staying? The ideal thing to do is visit Canada East to West (or the other way around). But if you have limited time, you might wanna stick to Eastern Canada. I heard there was not much to do in the Prairies (my friend just moved to Calgary). But who knows, maybe British Columbia has more to offer than Vancouver.

@DaFunk - thanks, I don't have enough time though, I have to be back by October.
@ Jon - sure thing.
@Carmi - yeah I know, I'm planning to be there for almost a month.
I have a problem with accomodation though. Fhy is everything booked in September? :-(
Only very expensive options seem to be left. I'm trying craigslist but most ads are for either very short term stays or very long term (6months +).

Okay, thanks to the new passport that I need my trip to Canada has delayed by over a week, but I will arrive there on 11th of September and will be staying there for 3 weeks. I would rather be there sooner if only to meet Sofia.
I have already bought my plane tickets, through Headrow so hopefully my plane will not fall victim to the riots.
If I won't succeed with finding a hotel you can catch me in Stanley park, chilling with the grizzlies or something.
