I have never been to any of these so I can't tell you for sure -- but I also am pretty impartial. I looked up each venue and here is some info about them:
I definitely DO NOT recommend the Cunard Centre in Halifax, and wouldn't particularly recommend the Centennial Hall in London. Edmonton Events Centre -- only if you much prefer General Admission.
Massey Hall, Burton Cummings Theatre, Jack Singer Concert Hall, Vogue Theatre, Port Theatre, and Royal Theatre all seem like good choices. I would recommend Massey and get the largest CM meetup and hometown crowd, or do one of the BC shows for a smaller show in a beautiful area.
