Alberta is very well known for its petroleum industry which I believe is why Calgary and Edmonton are as big as they are. A very large portion of individuals from this province work in the oil/gas industry, and it has lead to Alberta as a whole being the richest province in Canada. At one point the province made soo much money, they decided to give every man woman and child in the province a $400 check. Was neat.

The other thing that calgary has to offer is it's relative closeness to the Rockey Mountains. This provides alot of tourism as well.

Other than that, im not sure

I always say I've learned to weather it and am tough in the cold but last winter we had a solid month where it was averaging -20F and didnt go above 0 for something like 35 days and I nearly went insane.

Jesus Christ -40? I don't even need to ask if that's in C or F.

But damn that's cold.

Northern regions of settled Canada = no thanks.

To those of you offering to trade unless you live directly in the infernal flames of hell you don't realize what you are signing up for.

I feel for you, Chill. Winnipeg doesn't have snow yet but it's getting colder.

I forgot about this. Cold hands make SC more difficult. The room I had my computer in last year had practically no insulation because it was next to the garage and had shitty windows. I had to wear an undershirt, tee shirt, sweat shirt, two blankets, and slippers to even use my computer.

yeah , Edmontons record low was -56.9F, and Calgary's was -49F . The worst part is, since we are use to such an extreme climate, when it gets to -40F schools don't close, and people who work outside, still have to goto work and deal with the climate. Life sucks

Man, I've never had a school closure due to weather. -50C, three feet of snow, doesn't matter. I've snow shoed to school because the plows can only work so fast.
