Pretty much nothing and that's why there is a "twin city" rivalry.

Mano a mano - suburb a suburb - they're the same city. But as you said Calgary has the trump card with it's location to the mountains so since location is everything Calgary wins this battle yet again.

Edit:
It's also a brilliantly written rivalry:
North vs. South
White collar vs. Blue collar
Private industry vs. Government (Capitalist vs. Communist)

I'm obviously generalizing but realistically it's a beautiful Springfield/Shelbyville rivalry!
