Then they come to perform at the best indie music festival in Canada, Sled Island, as "Montreal" artists.

It's a weird situation. The Calgary music scene is pretty poor but it's never going to improve if bands keep leaving. Bands will struggle to make much progress if they don't play in a city with a strong scene. It's a catch 22.
The biggest issue with the Calgary music scene is venues though, it doesn't matter if bands stick around when there are no venues for them to play in.
