Yes. Calgary Roads suck. They're atrociously maintained and I feel as though everyone in the Calgary Roads department should be given a blindfold and a cigarette and marched into the Town Square.
But my Gear Grinder is comparing Calgary roads to other places non ceteris paribus.

I always use Edmonton as a measuring stick seeing it's similar size and weather and in my experience their roads are almost always worse. This year though it seems like the roads are worse than normal for Calgary. The hole pothole and frost heave thing is pretty normal but in addition to the various potholes, there's cracks, crumbling asphalt everywhere and a lot of the ramps are very rough. I attribute this to maybe some of the wide temperature swings we have had this winter and maybe all the salt brine they use today.

Yep and they are generally pretty responsive so always a good thing to do if you can.
