I'm a Calgarian living there, I can tell you that it is a great city. There are miles and miles of great walkable neighbourhoods in beatiful old victorian neighbourhoods. Calgary's housing stock and commercial main streets cannot touch Toronto's. The streets are full of life all the time, something that is a weakness of Calgary's that needs to be corrected. Also being the most multicurltural city on the planet has its benefits, particularly with great cuisine and diverse neighbourhoods. Toronto has its problems too - horrendous sprawl, a deteriorating housing stock in commie-block 60s complexes, horribly under-maintained and under-sized transit system - but by many measures its emerging as a true world city.
