I wake up to -16 and snow, fog and miserableness all day. I think that the people who report the weather in Calgary are just lying to us now so that we don't commit suicide.
I was back on the island over the holidays and it was beautiful (even in the snow, at least it was warm).
I will take 2 degrees and rain every single day for the rest of my life if it meant I never had to see another flake of snow or some horrible -48 wind chill.

The grass is greener on both sides of the fence. The weather in Victoria takes a season to get adjusted to, but I would agree that I'd rather take it over Calgary weather, generally. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I'd commit suicide after a year of 2 degrees and rain every day. I think you're overstating your case.
The real problem with Victoria is the job market. If it wasn't for the government jobs, it'd be purely a tourist industry town.
I'd love to retire there, though.
