#geography #calgary #edmonton
Calgary and Edmonton
The biggest two cities in Alberta, Canada
Heck, two of the biggest in ALL of Canada- I’m not joshing you. Calgary is the 4th biggest and Edmonton is the 5th. About 300 kilometers apart, or a 3 hour drive.
Combined they make up more than 70% of the population of Alberta and 8% of the population of Canada.
Both are part of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor, the most urbanized part of Alberta and one of the wealthiest regions in the country.
And there’s a rivalry. Oh you better believe there’s some trash talkin’ goin’ on between the two. The rivalry even has a name- the “Battle of Alberta,” although that’s, more often than not, just used to describe the sports rivalries of the two cities. Like the football rivalry between the Edmonton Elks and the Calgary Stampeders. Or one of the greatest hockey rivalries in history between the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers. Heck, there’s even a rivalry between the major universities in each city, the University of Alberta, which is in Edmonton, and the University of Calgary. (yeah that’s in Calgary)
So perhaps to fan the flames of this rivalry even further, I am making this completely fact-based comparison video so you can make up your OWN mind about which city is better, ok?

I lived in Cowtown (Calgary) for twenty years and it's a great city, as is The Chuck (Edmonton). I will say that, originally being from Vancouver, Calgary is a much nicer looking city than Edmonton. We also cannot forget about Red Deer: easily the nations biggest pitstop for commuters travelling between Cowtown and EdmonChuck. Also: the reason people move to Alberta is because of the oil and gas industry. The province relies, almost completely, on revenue generated from said industry. Everything in Alberta is dependent on the oil and gas industry. When oil is selling high on the market, the province does well, when oil crashes, Alberta crashes with it, and the provincial government, as well as its denizens, will always try to blame something/someone else for its shortsightedness. A pretty annoying characteristic, in my opinion. Either way, I have numerous fond memories of my time in Calgary, and Alberta in general, and made many friends, some of whom are no doubt life long. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="329">5:29</a> just an FYI: it is not pronounced Meh-tees (Metis), it is pronounced May-tee.

Métis person here: We are consider an indigenous nation since though we technically appeared due to colonial contact, it was not settlers that made the Métis, but traders, such as the voyageurs and free men. Since communication was so bad back then, these traders were effectively isolated from the European culture as they spent most of their time travelling and trading, only returning the the European settlements briefly. As they had kids, the kids grew up far away from European settlements, creating the first Métis. By the time European settlers arrived in the area, Métis people had already been living there for several generations, free from European influence save for what they picked up from their parents. And yes, you did pronounce Métis wrong, the “s” is silent.

The coldest I’ve ever been was in January 2005, when I had to take a load of tubing for hot tubs from Las Vegas up to Edmonton. I woke up at a service plaza between the two cities wondering why it was so cold in the truck. I made my way up to Edmonton to deliver. My guess it was somewhere around-40° (the point where Fahrenheit in Celsius meet). The place I delivered to has an outside dock where someone on a forklift could go in and out of the trailer. They could only be outside for 15 minutes at a time, before they would have to go inside to warm up, and someone else would come out and operate the forklift. As an American truck driver, once we deliver in Canada, we have to get a load that would return us back to the US. I had to pick up a load of pallets and take it down to somewhere near Sacramento. I was happy to get back down to somewhere warmer. Now I live in Minnesota, where temperatures easily get down to -20°F, with windchills even lower. I still drive truck for a living. Work towards a career change, so I at least don’t have to drive more than 20 minutes to and from a job.

As a Calgarian, a few things to add. Calgary has a place called COP (Canada Olympic Park) which was used for the olympics. It has a ski hill with multiple chairlifts, a bobsleigh track and a couple massive ski jumps. It also has a bunch of athletic facilities. Surprised that this video missed it as it’s a pretty big feature of Calgary. Also, one big distinction between Calgary and Edmonton is Calgary gets a weather phenomenon called the chinook wind. Basically, in the colder months, Calgary will occasionally get a warm wind coming off the mountains, causing temperatures to suddenly become rather warm out of nowhere. So calgary could be +5c while Edmonton is still -15c. Edmonton will stay cold all throughout the winter, while calgary will be bouncing between cold and a little warmer. Either way, great video :)

Calgary is so clean. You barley ever see any litter. Most of the buildings are new and modern looking too. Much of the downtown core is connected by indoor sky-bridges that link all the sky scrapers. The Calgary Stampede is a lot of fun too. During Stampede week, they do a huge pancake breakfast, accompanied by a parade. Free pancakes, bacon etc. for the entire city. It's a lot of fun. Winter time is great if you like skiing as they have a ski hill right inside the city. If you want mountain skiing there's a load of options just 45mins to a couple hours drive. Regular busses take skiers to the hills too if you didn't want to drive. There's also hot springs nearby and the town of Banff, located in the rocky mountains about an hour drive from Calgary. Amazing town to check out.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="536">8:56</a> The main reason Edmonton became the capital of Alberta was actually because of Alexander Cameron Rutherford, Alberta’s first premier. He lived in the town of Strathcona (directly south across the North Saskatchewan River from Edmonton) and was desirous of having the capital in the region. Strathcona amalgamated with Edmonton in 1912. He also is the reason for why Edmonton also got the first University, the University of Alberta, in 1908, which was built less than two miles from his future home which his family moved into in 1911.
