Well according to the polls it is UofT.

But in my opinion it's like this

1) McGill
2) Queens
3) UofT
4) UBC
5) others

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

In Canada the top 5-7 schools (that have already been mentioned) are in my opinion equal in terms of standards. Unlike the U.S, certain programs that each school offers may be "top programs", while other programs in that same school may not be as renown but still very good. It really depends what program someone is interested in, and what career path and opportunities they wish to receive. For one person that might mean UofT or Mcgill is the best choice, if they want a school that is widely recognized internationally, while for others with different intentions a well-known program at Mac will better suit.

McMaster Faculty of Health Sciences 2013

All published rankings I've seen use a lot of information that's fairly irrelevant to the experience of an undergraduate student (research funding, library size, etc) and not a whole lot of stuff that is relevant to the experience of an undergraduate student, and tend to produce lists that are at best highly stilted towards large research institutions. If you look at the information out there that's based more on student surveys, etc. you will find that it's the smaller schools that do better. I'd strongly encourage you to check out the results of the NSSE and CUSC surveys. Some schools are covered by one, some by the other, and some by both, but you may well notice a trend.

FAQ's:
1. Will I get in? See: electronicinfo.ca for Ontario schools. If you have a couple percent above the marks there and it's not looking at supplementary, the answer is almost certainly yes.
2. Anything else: Google it before asking.

The best engineering is at McMaster?

I was more or less speaking in general for undergraduates. For engineering I would say Waterloo is the best place right now.

For overlap between prestige (Maclean's rankings) and student experience (Globe and Mail), I'd have to say Western and Queen's take the cake. Guelph and Sherbrooke also do very well in the Globe and Mail rankings, but I wouldn't really consider them "prestigious," although they most certainly aren't lacking in that department.

In terms of prestige, I'd say,
1. U of T
2. McGill
3. UBC
4. Queen's
5. Alberta
...

That is just my opinion.

How I see it:

McGill, Toronto
UBC, Queen's, UWO

I'd say that certain *colleges* at UofT are prestigious (e.g. Trinity), but the school as a whole? Prestige tends to get diluted when you have 60,000 students.

I'm partial to Dal and Acadia, though.

(Waterloo, however strong its programs are, is a concrete wasteland, and generally disliked by many who go there... well, at least among my friends!)

well the fact that they have 60k students makes a greater chance that just one of those students will go on to be a nobel prize winner, prime minister, billionaire etc, meaning U of T may not have better facilities, but it sure has the odds on its side
