Calgary is the 4th biggest and Edmonton is the 5th. About 300 kilometers apart, or a 3 hour drive. Combined they make up more than 70% of the population of Alberta and 8% of the population of Canada. Both are part of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor, the most urbanized part of Alberta and one of the wealthiest regions in the country. And there’s a rivalry. Oh you better believe there’s some trash talkin’ goin’ on between the two. The rivalry even has a name- the “Battle of Alberta,” although that’s, more often than not, just used to describe the sports rivalries of the two cities. Like the football rivalry between the Edmonton Elks and the Calgary Stampeders. Or one of the greatest hockey rivalries in history between the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers. Heck, there’s even a rivalry between the major universities in each city, the University of Alberta, which is in Edmonton, and the University of Calgary. (yeah that’s in Calgary) So perhaps to fan the flames of this rivalry even further, I am making this completely fact-based comparison video so you can make up your OWN mind about which city is better, ok?
