Toronto is actually much gloomier than it's reputation. I was shocked on moving here how often it is grey and overcast when everyone mocked me for being from dreary Vancouver.
To put it into numbers Toronto gets 2,066 sunshine hours a year whereas Vancouver gets 1,937 sunshine hours per year.
That would mean that Vancouver as 94% as sunny as Toronto, not really that big a difference.
Only major difference i suppose would be that Vancouver has most of those dreary days during the winter whereas Toronto's are a bit more evenly spread. I personally would prefer to get the cloudy dreary weather out of the way during the winter when the temps are low anyway, and have sunnier summers, but the lack of sun in the winters can be trying.

Fairly certain coastal Vancouver has a plan hardiness of 9a as well and Victoria is even better with big portions of 9b.

I believe that is Victoria, but yes of that list it is.
