I believe that's correct. There is a Calgary in Scotland which as far as I know, is where it came from. Locals pronounce it as you suggest.

That's amazing! Thanks for reaching out. That was simply amazing, and I'm sure the Christmas beaver would have topped it all off. We'll do our best to get out there!

Yeah, we definitely get winter. Thank god for those Chinook winds that blow in some warmer weather from time to time. Haven't been to Texas yet. Will get there one day.

Chinook winds are great in the winter. They bring the warm weather. Though some people do find the pressure change can give them a headache.

Yh

Welcome! Yeah, there's plenty to do. If you say there's nothing to do, then you're not looking around at all. If you get out to the Rockies you'll never see it all in a lifetime.

@@calgaryliferealestate exactly!!

U're joking, if u don't like it, fucking get out of the city 😡😡😡

Well if u don't like it just get the fucking out bro😡😡😡

Bollocks. High demand for real estate. Tens of thousands of people moving there.

Like your mom’s basement?

Calgary is a pretty good hub for international travel and our growing aviation sector is only improving this.

You're dead on! We had a little rain last night on New Years Eve. It was like 8 or 10 degrees outside. Expect the unexpected.

Wow, proposing to your wife with Peyto Lake in the background would have been amazing! It is definitely a beautiful part of the world. And as you say, you have to put that Toyota 4Runner to work now! Definitely let us know if we can help you out at all. Hope you can make your Alberta dream come true. Merry Christmas to you and your wife.

My wife can get headaches from the change in pressure which causes chinooks. I do not. I don't really have a problem with dry hands or nose either. Calgary is a dry climate for sure though. If you were coming from somewhere more humid you would likely have a period where you would need to adapt a bit to our climate. If you left because of the migraines, I totally understand! Thanks for the comment.

Great to hear! Any areas in the city that you've been looking at specifically?

Tents are good. Especially when you're backpacking in the mountains here.

@@calgaryliferealestate or cant afford to rent a place.

hahaha , nice one

Well, we are realtors and not builders but certainly brick is more money, takes longer to install and requires a higher level of skill to install the cost of labour is an issue. We certainly see brick and stone on "higher priced" homes. The amount brick required to cover the same area as aluminum siding is greater. Brick would certainly wear longer and be more resistant to damage than alumimum. Like most things there is a trade off but cost is a big factor.

I know right! Many factors to consider I suppose.

Wait it’s 3rd? im so proud to live in calgary

You are not. 😂

@@thomasyu4010 check google

@@thomasyu4010 yeah i know. Thats why i cant believe it.

Hurry up! Come on over.

Both are great communities. We lived in Altadore for a few years. It’s really gentrified over the years. Very hip with plenty of new shops and restaurants and plenty of new builds. Sunnyside is also one our favs! Sounds like you used to live in Calgary?

How is life in Calgary? Planning on moving there next year.

@@Emma_itorit’s super great

No jobs, No homes but too many people.​@@Emma_itor

Dont fuck here

Yea you do 😂

How is the weather there, I read on google that it has 336days of summer..Not sure how far it's true... Since you live there pls enlighten me.. How cold does it get, and is it manageable?

@@lavenderfransz5974uhhh rn it’s in the 20’s F and in the summer it can get into the 70’s F even with a low of about 49-50 degrees F.

@@lavenderfransz5974Calgary has snow and sun making you hot from the west and the cold at the east so the weather is quite good

definitely trying to keep it concise.

I'll have to trust you as I've never been to Ohio.

​@calgaryliferealestate sounds similar to the uk except with snow 😅

You might like dark grey rain for 9 months a year better.

Thanks Paul! Are you a Calgarian?

@@calgaryliferealestate I lived in Calgary a long time ago (1968 to 1978) from age 5 to 15. My family came from France and became Canadian. My father worked for Aquitaine Company of Canada Ltd. a French-owned oil company that has been taken over by a Canadian company in the 80s . We eventually moved back to France (much to the chagrin of my father) but my brother stayed in Canada and lives with his family in Ottawa. We used to live in the Britannia neighboorhood. Very very nice. I will soon come back to show Calgary to my wife. 🙂

@@paulbizard3493 thanks for the comment Paul. Brittania is a great neighbourhood. Calgary has definitely grown a lot since those days. I suppose it was inevitable. On the flip side we visited France in 2019 for the first time starting in Paris and working our way south down to the Pyrenees and the over to Bordeaux and back up to Paris. We saw many beautiful places along the way and would love to go back...too many places to see in just two weeks. Hope you will be back with your wife soon!

Our pleasure, thanks for watching!

Everyone needs a change of scenery after a while. Maybe Vancouver or Toronto are a better fit for you at this point in your life.

@@gcc8584 I have lived in those places as well and they suck

😂 I wish you well and good luck!

@@gcc8584 Thank you, I think I will volunteer to go to Mars.

Toronto? rofl.@@gcc8584

We couldn't disagree more. The stereotype that Calgary is this cold wintery place is just that, a stereotype. Can it get cold here in the winter...for sure. But if you ask many people that have moved here from say Ontario, I think many, maybe not all would say the Calgary weather (winter) is not nearly as bad as they thought it might be. Summer is pretty good as well. We get our share of rain but it's still a pretty dry climate here. You are correct about the swings in pressure and temperature. We can definitely get that but it's also one of things that brings the warm chinook winds in the winter. The outside lifestyle is real here as we have active people who spend time in our abundance of green spaces walking, or cycling, mountain biking and hiking in the Rockies, skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. Like anywhere in the world...no place is perfect, including Calgary. But I can think of a lot worse place to live. Thanks for you comment. P.S..."Calgary, Alberta tops the sunniest places in Canada and receives a respectable 2405 hours and 333 days of sunshine a year."

@@calgaryliferealestate - People from Ontario moved to Calgary mainly because they cashed in there big time on their homes and bought 2-3 in for the same money. Sunny, yes, but so is Inuvik, more so than Calgary. Does it help with cold? Not so much. Of course there’s worse to choose from but after 22 years of living in Calgary I can say it’s usually cold. Yes, there’s skiing close (although snowfall is not sufficient - this year’s Lake Louise example), yes there are activities to do. Btw, I drive to Fernie for skiing for the same reason: too dry in Alberta therefore not enough snowfall. Periodic dumps. It just doesn’t compare…There are many good things about Calgary and Alberta but the climate is not one of them.

@@maximusfuscus appreciate your opinion.

@@maximusfuscusso where do you live now? The GTA I guess?

@@maximusfuscusAlso Calgary does have some temperature swings sometimes, but it’s not windy at all, only for short moments when a cold front passes, Toronto/Mississauga and gta are very windy particularly in winter, hence they get several days of blizzards, and even though the air temperature might be negative 7 or 8, windchill in a damp cold climate it gets to negative 23.

That is very true. And the general cost of living is lower. Not saying those aren't good cities but everyone has different goals. Layer on inflation and things can get pretty expensive just to live.

To each their own. And as we've said in other videos, if you need to hustle and bustle, nightlife, and things that stay open late then Calgary may not be for you.

Amazing! Let us know when you're channeling is up and running. We'd love to see it.

If you really like to lean into the city side of things and nightlife etc, then you'll want something busier as you suggested. It's growing for sure, but these things take time. Thanks for the comment!

@@calgaryliferealestate Downtown Calgary is becoming more vibrant and will become more vibrant, especially once they get their own national baseball league, “The Magpies”
