Right now Calgary is a kind of uneasy place to be as a lot of people are feeling the pain from the oil industry going where it is. As soon as oil rebounds it will be a great place to be for work and advancing as a lot of people have been scared off and left.
Calgary winters are awesome. Summer here is pretty sweet too. Being a flight away from everything sometimes kind of sucks though. Toronto would be nice being so close to a few different places.

yea i know what you mean by the oil effect.
I'm thinking from an investment stand point, if I was to go to Calgary now, I'm gonna buy a condo/townhouse for around 350K....and afaik the housing market dropped a bit in the past year with the cost of oil.
so say if in 3-4 years when I leave alberta, there is a chance the value of the condo will go up.
not I have no idea on the housing market in toronto, to see if there is the same growth potential or now when it comes to buying housing.
I agree both cities are nice, calgary is close to vancouver (home), and also close to banff and louise for skiing in the winter.
Toronto has a lot of amenities and lots to do, so i also wont be bored there.
tough choices to be honest......
