Vancouver is undoubtably the preferred choice, it’s a beautiful world class City, but I don’t think Calgary is that far behind. I haven’t been to Sweden but I imagine the main cities there are pretty similar to Vancouver and Calgary.
Unless you have roots there, I don’t know why anyone would live in Edmonton.

Not to try and get political, but Sweden is also a very socialist country, so politically speaking they are likely much more comfortable in Canada.
Besides Lindholm, we also have Kylington, Andersson and Backlund as well, so while they may not all be friends with Markstrom, they would understand things we North Americans see as quirks, but are more cultural. When working and living away from home, people from your own country are an appealing factor in choosing where to live. When my parents moved to Canada from South Africa, they chose Calgary because of the South African population.
