Calgary's a pretty good place. A good blend between big/small city, friendly people, lots of open space, very clean, and a decent standard of living for most of its residents. But I would like to see some more urban density in Calgary, some more pedestrian communities that you would find in places like Vancouver. I think its coming along slowly.

How's that rain grey winter treating you today?? It's a wonderful day today. Looking out the window, I see the ocean, the downtown skyline and the snow topped mountains. It's a picturesque day.
And your argument about the people.....ugh, I hate that crap. There are pretentious people in every city in Canada. There are idiots all over the place. Your generalization about the people of Vancouver is ridiculous. I'm sure there are idiots and snobby pricks in lovely Calgary as well. Just because you may have one or two bad experiences with some people in Vancouver doesn't mean the city is generally like that. There's good and bad everywhere.
