My personal opinion is that the main difference between Calgary and Edmonton is Calgary NW. It's just something Edmonton or any prairie city doesn't have. No industrial areas and the elevation means that you are always a few minutes away from a view of the city's beautiful landscapes, mountains, downtown, the Olympic park valley, etc. I just find Calgary south feels like living in any other prairie city. The extra snow does suck but IMO it's worth it especially in the summer.
