I completely disagree with your first sentence. I grew up in southern Ontario just outside Toronto and I hated it. As far as I'm concerned Toronto is just a big sprawling ugly crime ridden city. The only thing it has going for it is being next to Lake Ontario but you don't have to live in Toronto to be next to the lake.

Calgary has a view of the Rocky Mountains and Rocky Mountains trump Lake Ontario every day of the week.

Plus its very common to see all sorts of wildlife living in Calgary (deer, moose, the occasional cougar or bear, eagles and hawks, coyotes, etc.)

The above is an extremely uncommon occurrence in Toronto. The only wildlife you see in Toronto is the human kind.
