We just had some wacky weather last weekend, but it's quite warm now. Compared to before. Edmonton did use to be bigger than Calgary, up until the 80s, Edmonton was the biggest city in Alberta. Part of it was the government to get more offices and attention in Calgary (like the oil companies), then a lot moved there, and their population grew a lot faster. Since then Calgary has been the large city. But only by 100,000-200,000.
