I have lived in both cities for decades and still go back and forth for work many times a year. My daughter lives in one while we live in the other. They are way more similar then anyone from either city wants to admit. Both cities have a surprising amount of money attached to them. Calgary has more head offices but Edmonton has more skilled workers. Same size, almost same population. Housing a little more affordable in Edmonton. Calgary a little prettier. Edmonton has better parks, Calgary has closer skiing. Edmonton has better and larger sports and music venues which attract the world biggest artists. Calgary a little more touristy while Edmonton a little more utilitarian. Both cities have an exorbitant amount of restaurant choices due to the much higher then average disposable income. Covid and previous oil crash have changed that landscape a bit for both cities. Edmonton winters are a little colder but the summers are warmer. Especially the summer nights. Calgary can get to 30° during the day and the night can still hit 8-12° at times. Edmonton will hit 32-33° and the night will get to 16-18°. Edmonton is the capital so it has more government workers. Both cities have decent road systems but with each having approx 1.4 million people each they can both have significant traffic issues, especially when there are weather events. Both cities get extreme winter storms and cold snaps as well as some pretty hot summer days. Edmonton had a 3 week run summer before last where temps never dipped below 32° as a high and got as high as 39° for 3-4 days. Both cities can get some wicked summer thunderstorms with large hail and tornado possibilities. Hope my experiences have helped someone.

Yup. Steve, everything you've stated is 100%. Like you, lived in both, in both regularly for business. Both have their charms. I chose Edmonton for its better summer weather, parks/cycling/walking trails. Both have great suburban neighourhoods, Edmonton's a little more affordable. More money left to fly someplace warm in the winter. Neither are pretty from their ring roads or major roadways.

I lived and worked in Calgary between 1994 and 2001. While there, I drove up to Edmonton several times. While they are both nice cities, the clincher for me is Calgary's close proximity to the rocky mountains (e.g., Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country).

You can always change the house, but never the location! Thanks for sharing buddy!

[@adambonesaw3689]

As an Edmontonian that's actually what makes me dislike Calgary. Want to wait in line on the highway to do some designer clothes shopping? Banff is for you Want to go to a mountain town? Jasper is what you want. It's a longer drive. But there's also endless natural land and lakes between here and there. There's also elk island right next door which I loved but it's a different kind of nature than the mountains.

I lived in Calgary from 1992-2007. It's a beautiful city. I've been here in Edmonton from 2007 to current. Edmonton is beautiful as well.

The population of each region is just shy of 1.5 million. Less than 30K in difference. Edmonton's urban park system is the largest of any city in North America. Having lived and cycled in both, Edmontons trail system is far more vast. Both paved and dirt trails, accessible in all seasons.

[@moefinesse9878]

i live in Edmonton, originally from Ontario. For people coming from Ontario, you can compare Calgary to being equivalent to Toronto, while Edmonton is comparable to Hamilton, during the 90s. Don't expect Calgary to have the night life or city activities to Toronto, but it's a lot cheaper then Toronto

[@LiveInnerCity]

Hmmm ... dude has a point!

[@Chydova]

I'm actually considering in moving to Alberta from Ontario Mississauga area. How would you compare crime rate to Edmonton to the GTA? Cause I know that the Toronto ttc is getting more dangerous, there are always new incidents every week despite the police they stationed. Also is there any areas best to avoid in Edmonton?

[@moefinesse9878]

@Chydova edmonton is relatively safe compared to the GTA. I find the north end of Edmonton equivalent to Scarborough or North York's Lawrence and Weston to Jane and Finch. Not all parts of North Edmonton is bad though. Avoid Clareview or mostly the North East corner. Be prepared to bored living here coming from the GTA.

[@nerkoids]

Not sure where you're getting your stats from - Edmonton actually has more sunny days that Calgary, and also has a more stable climate and growing season. Moreover, Edmonton's winter isn't all that notably colder than Calgary's. One thing Edmonton does have more is precipitation, particularly in the Spring and Summer months, especially compared to Calgary. I'm not a big fan of the 'rivalry' between the two cities, but although they do have plenty in common, the differences are such that it really boils down to Calgary being a nicer place to visit, whereas Edmonton being a nicer place to live.

I find that Calgary is superior in almost every metric. - Much closer to the mountains - Not as cold - Slightly shorter flights to every city in Canada and the US (Except Anchorage) - Has WAY more flight destinations. Edmonton just connects through Calgary - Calgary Stampede - Shorter drive to the US - Isn't full of government workers - Doesn't vote for left wing politicians

Which has better healthcare ? And is it faster and better than Toronto?

[@LiveInnerCity]

Healthcare is a crucial consideration, and both Calgary and Edmonton boast excellent medical facilities. The quality of healthcare often depends on personal experiences and specific needs. If you have specific healthcare preferences or are looking for information tailored to your needs, we recommend reaching out to local healthcare professionals or resources for more detailed insights. :)

[@richardgalloway4857]

Very well done video!

[@LiveInnerCity]

Glad you liked it. Thank you!

[@swankyshivy]

great video but what about healthcare? are the wait times to see dr when sick or have emg still long? are there options to get health insurance and go private and get medical help? does anyone have this info

[@LiveInnerCity]

Great questions! When it comes to healthcare in Calgary, let me give you some insights. In Canada, including Calgary, the healthcare system is publicly funded, which means that access to medical services is available to all residents. Wait times to see a doctor or receive emergency care can vary depending on the urgency and demand for services. While efforts have been made to reduce wait times, it's important to note that certain non-emergency procedures or specialist appointments may have longer wait times. In terms of options for private healthcare, Canada's healthcare system primarily operates on a publicly funded model. However, there are some private clinics and facilities in Calgary that offer specialized services, such as elective surgeries or cosmetic procedures, where patients can choose to pay out-of-pocket for quicker access to care. It's worth noting that these private options are typically for non-emergency and non-insured services. Regarding health insurance, Alberta residents have access to Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP), which provides coverage for essential medical services. This coverage is available to all eligible residents, regardless of income. However, it's worth considering additional health insurance plans, such as extended health coverage or private insurance, to supplement certain services or provide coverage for medications, dental care, and other healthcare needs not covered by the public system. When comparing Calgary to Edmonton in terms of healthcare, both cities generally have similar healthcare systems and access to services. However, specific wait times and availability of private options may vary between the two cities due to factors such as population size and demand for services. Please remember that the information provided is not medical advice. If you're seeking more detailed information about wait times, private healthcare options, or health insurance specifics, I recommend contacting Alberta Health Services or speaking with a local healthcare professional who can provide up-to-date and accurate information tailored to your needs. Prioritizing your health is crucial, and seeking advice from qualified medical professionals will ensure you receive the most appropriate guidance. Wishing you good health and well-being!

I have traveled to Alberta frequently for work (being based in Houston within the O&G industry)…for me Edmonton is a much more romantic and interesting city to visit/live than Calgary. However, Calgary is a much nicer/convenient/comfy place to live especially for those with a family. Edmonton is such a neat city (esp in summer) to visit but it’s sad seeing the many drug addicts and homeless around certain parts of the city. It’s also further from the Mountains than Calgary and doesn’t have as good of an airport to travel internationally. Finally the winters are worse in Edmonton due to the lack of the chinooks. That being said I really love Edmonton and prefer it over Calgary as a standalone city to visit in the summer. It has more character by far than Calgary…and a much better hockey team!

Saddle dome v Roger’s place? Khadri v McDavid? Husky tower v the legislature? The reality is that there are fantastic elements to both cities. If, however, you want to live in a place so that you can get out of it more easily to other places, then that’s Calgary but that’s like saying you like a restaurant better bc the tables are closer to the bathrooms.

Both cities are run by global Marxist mayors and city councils. Calgary has the dubious distinction of being one of the two "UN Safe Cities" in Canada (and we all know by now the PR names globalists give these things are most often the EXACT OPPOSITE). Both potential prisons have DEI/Agenda 2030/"Smart cities" futures. Residents of either are leaving in droves and being replaced by third-world "newcomers" who are justifiably angry because of the support Canada has given to destroying their homelands in neverending wars. A great place to live if you like dystopian hell holes, unfriendly residents, and junkies wandering away from "safe injection sites". Keep in mind, these channels have incentive to make these places look good.

It's true that both cities are facing challenges, but there are also positive initiatives happening. I live in Calgary, and I see firsthand how diverse and vibrant our city is. If you have any specific questions about the real estate market or life in Calgary, feel free to ask!
