I went with the cheaper Canadian Tire option after my cable lock was cut in James Bay 48 hours after moving back downtown from Saanich.

So clearly it can be picked if you have the fancy tool, I'm hoping our local thieves just have more general tools and only cutting resistance is really your friend in that situation.
How much you willing to spend? The best money can buy is the Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit but it's pricey.
What I use is the ABUS one. Used it ever since freshman year and still have my bike.
I use Kryptonite
According to the WireCutter’s testing KRYPTONITE is the best - but keep their assessment in context - the best only affords a couple of minutes security given aggressive lock cutting. You can read the analysis here: Best Bike Lock
I personally own: Kryptonite New York Lock Fahgettaboutit Mini 18mm U-Lock Bicycle Lock
Hope that helps.
This is supposed to be the GOAT
\>I got a decent set of locks and my bike isnt too flashy.

Define decent locks. I wouldn't lock anything downtown with less than this. You can still cut it with an angle grinder but it will take a couple minutes, hopefully time for security to notice.
Not trying to give you a hard time here, but rather give people the best chance to avoid having their bike stolen.
Angle grinders will cut through absolutely anything. Your only defense for a nice bike is to have the greatest amount of hardened steel to cut through to access that bike.
While the 4 series Krytonite is a good lock, it's still only a 14mm hardened shackle. There is significantly less material in a 14mm shackle compared to say a 17mm or 18mm shackle found in the OnGuard Brute series ( https://www.probikekit.ca/cycling-accessories/on-guard-brute-u-lock/11725428.html ), or the Kryptonite New York Lock Fahgettaboutit ( https://www.amazon.com/Kryptonite-New-U-Fahgettaboudit-Heavy-Bicycle/dp/B06XCMWW9H ). The 4 series, as well as these larger lockers are double bolted, meaning you'd need to cut through both legs to access the bike.
Keeping your bike an a public area where multiple people will always be in view of the bike means that a thief will have to stand there for 5+ minutes or potentially more (a battery operated grinder is likely to die before going through both legs of one of the larger ulocks, requiring a battery switch), creating an extreme amount of noise and sparks in the process.
Having used angle grinders regularly in my industry, I can assure you that they are not likely to go unnoticed by literally everyone in the area while being used. It's not at all like a set of bolt cutters.

With this lock

Had to cut off some of the rubber on the lock for the chain to fit through.

A better one would be anything but that cable lock. Use either this or this. Definitely don't use a cable to lock up your bike.
It’s this exact one, bought it just for this scooter.
