Edmontonians might have more in common with Torontonians but Calgarians might not.

In terms of voting history, sure, but in day to day life I really don't see that much of a difference. Both Calgary and Toronto are business-focused cities with a strong white-collared, progressive workforce. Both have reputations of a cocky attitude that other cities sometimes dislike. We face similar issues of congestion, traffic, and lack of infrastructure dollars. Most of really don't care who others are screwing or marrying if it doesn't affect us. And I'm sure most of us would like to have a healthy planet despite some economic fears.
There is an "us vs. them" history there clouding things, but I'm sure if you sat down and went through all the issues that are important to you, you'd have more in common with Toronto Cowperson than you would with Didsbury Cowperson.
I often think Toronto is what Calgary will turn into eventually.
