Relocation Calgary Vs. Edmonton

Who has a stronger job market? Is one way more expensive to rent in then the other? Where are the better looking women with full sets of teeth?

Officially liquidating shit and getting out of Onterrible... I'm tired of empty promises and no job market.... Anyone need some 7/8" heims!?

Good job markets in both, whatca looking to get into?

Calgary is a newer/cleaner/younger city then edmonton. Find the best job and let that decide where you move.

There are nothing but a bunch of fat wimmins and Nigerians in Edmonton.

Seriously, it is the murder capital of Canada, and for good reason, just a bunch of sand people, nigerian scammers and trailer trash.

Calgary is full to the brim with tons of hot wimmins, jobs and a local booming economy, that brings with it its share of woes, but more ups than downs.

Gimme a PM when youre here.

After spending the last 4 months there, I'd agree to that....

Calgary is home to head offices of a lot more companies, closer to the mountains and to the border if that matters for shipping parts. Weathers a lil more volatile then Edmonton because of location but either are good.

Grande Prairie has lots of job opportunities also. Way cheaper place to live than Ft. Mac and better paying jobs are more readily available than Calgary or Edmonchuck. Hell I think McD's pays $16hr to start here, it only goes up from there. Ft. Mac does get a bad rap, but I've spent my fair share of time there and its okay too.
