Calgary's awesome and I think if you don't like it, it might have something to do with your attitude. Honestly, there's awesome things about every city, if you focus on them, you can be happy wherever you are.
Sure, the weather isn't all that great sometimes, but the summer month(s) is/are wicked, probably the best weather ever for that one month, not too hot, not too cold, perfect. There's lots to do, lots to see, mountains and Fish Creek, people are generally friendly but sometimes conceited (kind of like, almost everywhere that money is made), there's money to be made here, lots of wicked pubs and bars, roads are well groomed / taken care of, I could go on. Actually, I will. It's starting to be just an awesome urban centre, places like Kensington and Inglewood, lots of trendy stores or if you're not a hippy but rather a spendy person there's the big ass box malls too. If you're not happy in Calgary, honestly, I'd almost have to assume maybe you're more of an ocean / water kind of person.
I lived 3 years in Cyprus... seems to me that most people that spend time away from Calgary come to the realization about how great it is.
