The problem with moving out of Calgary, is where else do you go in Canada?
Edmonton - The ####ty version of Calgary. It's like Calgary in March where everything is covered in dirty slush, but year round. No thanks.
Vancouver - Stupidly expensive, math doesn't check out. Also high % of smug aholes, walking zombies, and 16-year olds with cars worth more than your house.
Toronto - Also getting stupidly expensive, unless you're ok with living in a shoebox, or a bland box far from everything. Also have to live with fact you're living in the try-hard version of NYC.
Montreal - Great city, but the whole language thing will always be a barrier. There is duck in a can though, so hmmmm.
Saskatoon/Regina - Probably stable economy wise, but small and so far away from everything.
Victoria - Too many hippies, hobos, old people. Probably can't even afford to live in the tent city.
Island/Interior BC - Some nice small towns, but tend to be remote, limited work and amenity wise, and not always cheap.
Winnipeg - I don't mind cold, but not that cold.
Maritimes - Remote, cold, everyone talks like a leprechaun, you're always half an hour off.
What are you left with...Ottawa maybe? That doesn't excite me so much.
I think I'll stick it out, thanks.
