I read about this a few days ago, with an article that decided to tell much more of the story than just "the weather in Edmonton sucks".
He was made promises by the UofA that his wife and employees would be getting fast-tracked by Immigration Canada, it didn't happen. It was delay after delay, and since he couldn't bring his people in he commented on how a city like Edmonton has a hard time attracting the type of talent he needs.
So yes the climate played a role, but so did the university's failing to deliver what they promised him.
