Official questions start at 3:30 :) (before that I am sharing my story of how I ended up here!)

You definitely articulated Calgary well , after living here for just over a year I totally agree with all the viewpoints .

The food scene is pretty solid 💯

Glad I found this video! We’re migrating to Canada and moving to Calgary this November so thanks for sharing your experience. It’ll probably take some time for me to adjust to the cold weather but definitely excited.

Very exciting! That will definitely be a tough time of year to move just because it will be the start of winter, but there is lots to do indoors! And when summer arrives you’ll see how pretty all the nature is ☺️

@jackstrange I think that depends more on where you’re moving from and your budget. We are in a housing crisis and don’t have rent control (my own rent went up $300/month this month), but it is still cheaper than some other Canadian cities like Vancouver/Toronto.

@@morganberna the rent control scares me! At least Van and Toronto(?) have that 🤔 it’s good to know so I can consider! I lived in Van but moved back because of the high costs

@@JackStrange yes it’s definitely scary! It wasn’t bad when there were a lot of options, but it’s tricky to find vacancies right now so most people I know have just had to accept whatever their landlords decide. That being said, I do still love the city! It just isn’t how it was as far as affordability a few years back.

This was really informative. I am really interested in moving to Calgary in the future.

I'd agree, my own landlord is putting my rent up an additional $400/month @@carlosc.x 🙃. So I still love it, but the affordability has certainly changed and is worth considering!

I moved around a lot in Canada, from Montreal to Toronto to Vancouver to Victoria. I am currently living in Victoria and lived here for about 7-8 years with my family. And now I'm planning to move to Calgary for its affordability and easier access to family doctor. This video has given me a lot of good information to make that decision. If you were to start a family, where you would live? North West area or South West/East area (such as Mahogany)?

Remote jobs typically allow you to work from anywhere so finding them shouldn’t depend on where you live! If you’re looking for specifically hybrid, I believe lots of companies here offer that now. Glad the video was helpful!

Hi Morgan ! First of all great video . You explained things so well. I have one question : - How is the job market ? I heard the market is very tough to crack and that is the only thing holding me back

Hi! I work in marketing and do freelance copywriting as well, so I have done a mix of remote work and worked for some companies in town. I've always found work here. I suppose it depends on your industry, but I see lots of marketing positions posted currently (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.). Most people I talk to do need to apply for quite a few jobs before hearing back (myself included).

Calgary Lions stand guard Protect the bridge's past As waters rush beneath my path Chinatown greets me As the bus speeds past Art is everywhere if you look up As the crowd look down alas Oh Calgary, how you tease me With your complicated downtown I walk against the crowd A mixture of pity and proud Name-dropping conversations and telephone sounds Smells of cologne and brisket BarBQing where deals and meals meet Not far announcements Of the upcoming Stampede Security stands guard Darkened doors silent Marquis No one blinks an eye On this busy street Where secrets are spoken I have walked several miles Yet ended up where I started As the bells announced the trains going past And I followed business clones all dressed in black Tailored uniforms of financial pasts I sat down craving the beer Announced on every corner Not taken over by oil Barron's long renown for their behavior Where bankers meet White summertime snow flows as the night emperor knows And his jester pushes his cart Bottles picked all over the park To pay the devil what he owes Keeps what it takes and both push For it's stakes are high As they are prey to the Lord of another kind Songs and the media don't mind Glamorizing the lifestyle So many addicts in the pinpoint of an eye It's a cat and sewer rat's game While cops drive on by Not seeing the quick handshakes At the speed of rattlesnakes Just as their venomous​ bites Finds another one to die

9:10 “Politically”, you have some growing up to do and in time will realize, “politically”, why you have found Calgary, Alberta, is better overall. Free-thinking, independent-minded, right-wing politics is what is attracting Canadians to Calgary & Alberta. It is well-known by now that the adult brain does not fully develop until 25-35 years old.
