Maybe I'm an outlier, but I've never really felt the need to have A/C in this climate in Alberta. I guess this may stem from having lived abroad in much warmer countries where it is actually a necessity as the daytime highs and overnight lows would frequently hover near 35/25 for much of the year. Here it seems a bit much to invest a few thousand dollars plus the monthly opex to have your home 2-3 degrees cooler on the 5-6 days a year where we are at or around 30 degrees. The nights always seem to drop down to 10-12 degrees even on the hottest days, providing a nice natural cooling breeze.

What would someone expect the average monthly cost to run a CAC system in a typical Calgary house be from June-Sept?
