Haskayne is a good business school. Calling it one of the top 5 in Canada is acceptable I guess, but top 5 in North America is crazy.

Edit: To add to what others have already said. I quickly realized during the end of my UG degree and especially when I had graduated and was applying to grad school. It really makes no difference where you do you first degree, I paid quite a bit of money just to move 3 hours north and go to U of A when I could have saved my money and done my degree in Calgary. The experience of living away from home was awesome, and I loved the U of A; but now that I needed to take out a LOC to do my second degree I wish I would have saved that money and gone to U of C. I really feel that my degree and not the school that I obtained it from is what made the difference when applying to the next level of post secondary education.
