The complain people from Toronto/Vancouver have about Calgary is that it's Canada's red neck province, and also that there is nothing to do in the city.
If you get a remote job, it's probably the most affordable place in canada not in the yukon to live.
- maerF0x0 5y agoThere's so much to do if you live in Calgary! Granted its been nearly a decade since I've been there, maybe covid broke it. But 17th ave, Stephen ave mall, kananaskis, banff, breweries, river bike paths, reasonable food scene (for it's size and not being on an ocean), go to Edmonton for the weekend (it's only a 3hr drive, or a short flight), sylvan lake day trip, lots of conventions/shows on the stampede grounds... THE STAMPEDE! What is it you're looking for it doesnt have? (or what has change since I've been there?? )
- Izikiel43 5y agoI’ve never been there, I lived in Vancouver for 2.5 years then moved to the us, I couldn’t visit more of Canada since I couldn’t drive at the time. The common complaint I saw at r/Vancouver and r/personalfinancecanada was that the food scene was lacking compared to those cities, and the conservative/redneckness of the city/province.
- maerF0x0 5y agoI hope you see the funny side of the complaint there's nothing to do there, while also never having been there. :) Really encourage you to go. It's beautiful, and if you like hiking/mountains you have a "playground in your backyard". After moving to the bay area I was so spoilt and couldnt believe people would drive 3-8 hours (traffic) to Lake Tahoe, when I was used to 1.5 hours and sleeping in my own bed that night.
