What's not to like? you feel safe pretty much anywhere you go and I've lived in probably the worst neighborhood in Calgary my whole life and I would still feel confident walking alone at night. I've visited a lot of places and I'm not just saying this as cliché, but we honestly have some of the nicest good hearted people in the world.
We live in the best country in the world and one of the best cities in Canada. No flood will change that.

As someone who has moved away and lived in the bay area for the last 3 years, I want to second this post. The U.S. has so many great things going for it, but there's a distinct difference in the people and attitudes compared to Canada and specifically Calgary. I often get homesick, not for any "thing" in particular, but for the people and community. It's just not quite the same down here...everyone is so individualistic and self focused. I miss home and I hope everyone is doing ok through this crisis. Thoughts and prayers.
