Probably the worst possible timing for making this life altering decision with a child on the way. If this was next year or two years he and the wife would've adapted to life with a child in Calgary already with a 10 month old (or whatever age) here already, or if they were still a year or so from having a child, or it was a second child etc, Johnny could've made Calgary work and convinced the wife of that... but with her in the stages of pregnancy with a first child and the element of the unknown about what will happen and the support she thinks she may need, she was probably pretty firm even though Johnny would've preferred to have stayed here, thus the last minute pull out.
Ideally he'd prefer to be closer to his parents but they made the Calgary situation work for 8y so far.

I never though of this. Good points. And she (they) would have made friends with couples in a similar situation.
I have no doubt JG would have been over the moon to stay. Calgary was great for him in every way. No doubt it was the wife’s decision.
I don’t agree with it at all but that’s just me.
