Vancouver traffic is fine until you have to cross a bridge. That's getting dealt with, slowly. The new bridge into Surrey makes a huge difference. Next they need to fix the mash up on the North Shore. Other than the bridges, the highways are actually pretty solid.
As for Calgary, it also has horrendous traffic and the city is extremely spread out. I grew up in Sundance, and travel times to anywhere worthwhlie were horrendous. Living in Vancouver, I can walk to a local bar or restaurant very easily. With the exception of a few select, and very expensive areas in Calgary, you can't say the same. Vancouver should get props for the fact you don't have to travel as much.
