I heard it's alot like Fort Collins Colorado and Fort Collins is nice. Heard it's bigger version of fort collins.maybe someone who knows both could say
i've been to toronto and new york 2 years ago, i loved Toronto, nice place. I want to come Calgary to see Banff and Jasper, it does look nice there, I hope it is.
@Xd Its boring in the winter, summers are hella fun, everyones outside, stampede, girls in shorts, banff is overpacked with tourists etc. Ive been to Toronto and Vancouver as well and In my opinion most Canadian cities are very depressing in terms of fun and vibrancy compared to Europe particularly during winter. Calgarys downtown isn't as fun as Vancouver or Toronto, its very business oriented, you need go there before 4pm for fun and then to the Beltline after 5pm.
Thank you so much for this video! I am from Europe and I'll travel to Calgary. I am reading the driver's guide from Alberta and your video is an amazing tool to learn with. In my country we cannot turn left on red light. At 23:15 in your video you turn left on red light from 9 Ave SW to 2nd SW. I saw that 9th is one way but I didn't see that 2nd is also a one way street. I had to go to Google Maps :))
Catalin Rizea that’s because in Canada you can turn left from one way to another one way street. But definitely need to let pedestrians go first. The traffic in Calgary city center is confusing, blurry and small signs and load of one way street. They somehow love the idea of one way street, and made something like 5 lanes one way street, which is dangerous when you join the traffic from right side but need a left turn at the next cross section, plus, during the winter time everyone drives their big truck super fast, it is scary to cross 4 lanes and go to the left side of the road in order to not miss the left turn.
Ever since the Flames won the Stanley Cup once, they've been breaking up all the nightlife districts to spread out the club's. Fans get a bit over zealous, turned over a few too many cars and ruined everything for us.
John Wang Calgary is praised for being a clean city but like i said you guys need tourist attractions. The cities wayyy better spread out than Vancouver and is easier to drive in than here. Calgary also has more taller skyscrapers and better looking ones then alot of cities. It just needs good clubs downtown and some district like new yorks time square type of thing. Add in some huge theme parks and view points etc and this city would be one of the lost beautiful ones in the world.
@@Vancovermycity Anglo type people don't do fun. It's work work work make money make money make money pay taxes pay taxes pay taxes....until you drop. Throw in an occasional sporting event here and there. A rather dreary bunch.
Yes compared to other Canadian cities like, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, downtown Calgary isn't a hustle and bustling area. You could have taken this video at 6:30 pm and it wouldn't have been that much busier.
Its bustling in the summer like Toronto and Vancouver but generally having visited all those Canadian cities, Canada sucks when it comes to bustling vibrant streets
In Calgary there is a massive above ground indoor pedestrian walkway called the plus 15 which connects the entire downtown. Most people are off the cold streets using that walkway which is bustling with people. Also , the pedestrian street scape Stephen avenue is bustling with people .
I lived downtiwn for a few years in calgary, it really depends on if its rush hour or not, sometimes you can walk downtown and only see 1 person walking on the same street as you, other times like events there can be thousands of people
Calgary is a Pretty nice place. Nice suburban homes on the outside of it. The city looks beautiful too. I found it to be kind of dirty, there was lots of trash and a bit of homeless people though.
Canadian cities and towns generally have a much lower population density than European equivalents and you need to have a car to get around. So not only are there fewer people on the streets, you're less likely to come across them.
Calgary's downtown also has one of the largest elevated walk-ways in the world, that connect a lot of the buildings, which is especially helpful in the winter, so you can easily walk from one end of the downtown to the other, without stepping outside. It's called the plus-15, because most of the bridge walkways are approximately 15 feet above the ground. it's length is 18 kilometres (11 miles), and has 62 bridges connecting building to building. Really helps keep the streets clean, and easier to drive, and you feel safer (and dryer) walking indoors.
It's tiny compared to Mexico City and you would only find over priced tacos and burritos for Mexican food. Costs of living are high and right now so is unemployment though historically it's been the place to go for employment. That also means few people actually grew up here so it's not quite as friendly as it once was especially to visible minorities. Beautiful city and the nearby Rockies are fantastic but be prepared, it's a hothouse for right wing extremism and nativism right now and even in the distant past as the KKK was once very prevalent.
@@yugendran9167 Calgary is a mixed bag for programming. Back before the tarsands boom of the 90's and 2000's, there was a significant emphasis on seismic exploration hence computers, system administration, operations and computer programming. Since the tarsands went commercial, there hasn't been the same emphasis on exploration so the jobs that grew through the tarsands tended to be construction and driving not the professional jobs such as geophysicists and programming. The University of Calgary has always had a focus on computer graphics and there is a video game company that has a studio in Calgary. There's also company that made it's mark by making smart displays for education such as dry marker boards that can capture what was marked on the board etc. There used to be a lot of telecommunication development during the 80's but those companies all went bankrupt in the 90's. The oil industry also gave Calgary a core of SCADA programming but I don't think there has been a lot of growth in that after the 90's and really a lot of that creativity with serial communication lines would've been replaced with wireless Ethernet so less expertise would be required today. Calgary is a nice place to live and there are computer orientated jobs but there simply isn't enough diversity for my liking. I would say there are programming jobs but they rely too much on the oil industry to be a stable industry. Also, the current Conservative provincial government terminated all the assistance to high tech companies that the previous NDP government offered, the focus of the Conservatives is now with investing in technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil industry. Basically they've changed programs that were focused on diversification to programs that reward the large companies that they choose to reward hence kickbacks to their financial supporters. They also did this to the carbon tax concept. The idea of a carbon tax us to redistribute the funds to the consumers evenly so the consumers are rewarded if they conserve their carbon emissions but are penalyzed if they don't, the Conservatives replaced the tax with a carbon levy on industry which is less visible to the consumers and the rewards benefit the companies of their choosing. Since the re-election of the Federal Liberals albeit as a minority government, the provincial conservatives have reintroduced a carbon tax which again rewards the large companies of their choosing. Basically the Conservatives replaced the carbon tax with two programs which reward the large companies that back them and sold it to the public as doing away with the NDP carbon tax and blaming the federal government for their need to introduce the second program which openly taxed the consumer directly but again only rewards the companies of their choosing. As usual the rah rah sport fan mentality of their supporters are just eating it up and even forming a divisionist movement weexit to express their anger that was so readily focused. Once again, the Albertans have told the Conservatives, you can rape us so long as you don't tell us you're doing so.

@DRAVEN I wouldn't say so, obviously less to do in the winter get generally not to bad.

This was filmed at 6:30 in the morning. I assume people don't want to get to office that early.

Honestly, in every Canadian city video I hardly see people. I don't know why. The cities are clean, beautiful but not vibrant.

A lot of buildings blocking the view of what I grew up with.
Even the glassed in base around the Calgary tower looks weird to me.
Doesn't seem to be much there. If you're driving through and you blink, you might miss it. Looks like a ghost town!
