Crazy that Calgary seems like the last larger city in Canada this phenomenon has hit.
I bought my house in Vancouver in September with an inspection and full subjects, it's not impossible.
You're right that it's hard and rare though, and things have gotten even tighter here in the 4 months since I bought.

You can also book a full inspection before the offer time on properties. For example if they're taking offer Monday 5pm, book an inspection Monday AM.
Downside is you're paying for the inspection and may not win the bid, but you can at least get a full inspection done.
