Calgary house prices have not hit their peak yet by any means, it's only recently that there the boom has arrived, and I expect this continue for a good few years yet.
Do you know how many people live (or take residence) in England/London? There are more filthy rich people in England then there are people in Calgary (and likely Alberta). Real Estate in a market like that is considered a great place to hide/place assets. There is just no way you can compare Calgary to England.
