 Here's a question to ponder over the weekend: Would you rather live in Windsor, where the summer heat turns the city into an oven and where unemployment is high, or would you rather live in Calgary, where the summers are short but beautiful and workers a Comments

Hmmm...
Weather - Gets a little colder in the Winter, but it wasn't overly drastic and from the sounds of the Windsorites I know living here, the Summers are completely superior (same heat, but a fuckload less humidity) and well, there's a lot more to do here that fits all the seasons.
Family Income? Uhhh, isn't that dropping in Windsor faster than you can say "plant closure," while a person with no job experience here can get $11-$14/h with benefits, scholarship opportunities, etc, etc, by working at a fast food place.
Okay, house prices are really fucking high here, although if one had properly saved, then it shouldn't be a problem to even find a nice place to rent for the mean time, until a place can be found, as there's enough of them being built.
Unemployement!? You couldn't get a job in Windsor if half the fucking population left for Kelowna... And for Kelowna, right now, the only reason a person doesn't have a job is because they don't want one, there's openings EVERYWHERE!
Population growth... well, I know a lot more Windsorites that live in Kelowna (about a dozen or so) than I do Kelownians/Kelownaites (wtf are these people called?) in Windsor (Oh, about... 0!) And most of the people I went to Uni with here, weren't from Kelowna.
Access to medical professionals, well, I don't actually know where the hospital is, but I've had to go to a clinic, dentist, and some others a few times and I've never had an overly long wait after a walk-in and the only appointment problems I've had for a follow up was one that was scheduled for next week, when I'm going to be 3k kms away (although, I did schedule it a week before I even decided where I was going to be)
So yeah, there's the opinion of one Windsorite/temp-Kelownaite
