If you have any direct questions I'll be happy to try and answer them for you.
An overstatement of course, but I suppose there is some truth in what you say.

The economy of Alberta is by far the strongest in the country because of all the oil, and Calgary is a very nice city, not particularly conservative, that is only a couple hours away from the Rocky Mountains. Calgary also has the Bow River flowing right through the middle, which is a world famous trout stream.
I'm from B.C., I'd be run out of the Province if I said anything nice about Alberta. They do have an incredible economy, no doubt about that. As for Calgary, I wasn't very impressed when I was there, but it's a helluva lot nicer than Edmonton.
