I would agree with you in that Toronto is probably a more desireable location than Calgary for Amazon (if I am understanding you correctly). However one huge advantage Calgary would have is in utility costs. Ontario is a disaster in terms of electricity rates/costs and is only projected to get worse. Alberta would probably win hands down in this regard. But I'm not sure how that would translate into an overall cost advantage when you factor everything in.
I still say any Canadian city would hold a huge advantage over any U.S. city when it comes to health care coverage costs to Amazon. But again not sure if that would make it enough to swing the decision north of the border.
