I've never heard of AWS or MS contemplating datacenters in downtown Calgary. I know there are some underutilized old school datacenters in the office buildings but I've always heard AWS is building on cheaper land just outside the city. Converting existing office space and paying downtown rates doesn't seem very Amazon to me.
Calgary getting an Azure region is even unlikely to me. Vancouver doesn't even have one, they just have in ingress of sorts.
