It depends as there are several important variables.

1. Is the car garaged indoors most of the time?
2. Is the car washed regularly?
3. Is the car rust proofed?
4. Is the car actually from Calgary or middle-of-nowhere Alberta?

There are plenty of Calgary and Toronto cars that don't have rust, and that's because the owners wash them regularly and have them stored indoors.

Our aunt's Corolla, originally from Vancouver, went up to Prince George for a few years. Came back and it had surface rust. She never washed it and left it outside. Some food for thought.
