I have lived in Banff, Calgary, BC's Okanagan, the Lower Mainland, and now Vancouver proper. Calgary may have jobs, but so does most anywhere in the
praries right now with gas and oil still hiring and expanding. The Telecom industry across the praries as well is booming.
But then again you have the flames

Premier Redford whos no better than pay ya for votes CC that I got here but this women is about to bust
your bubble and lead your province to the first deficiet in decades, all the shine that is on Calgary is about to go bust reading articles about big
oil moving head offices to Van to exploit the retraction of the offshore drilling moratorium, and the wide open Nat gas exploration that is about to
go full boar.
So I agree it is a decent place a little flat and brown for my liking especially in the summer, gotta drive to see a mountain and the lakes of the
praries from my experience are no more than mosquito breeding pools. Alas though kudos on ya Calgarian on taking over top spot, getting it and holding
it though are two entirely different things. LOL THE FLAMES
After seeing much of our country I would either settle for good in Canmore my type of place or in the BC Kootneys if I get a little crazy maybe Tofino
or Northern Van Isle somewhere, good Calgary is getting some recog. but there are many far better places in this great country a real shame they never
get the pat on the back some of the better little towns deserve.
