Said Calgary is still in a recession.
Is this true? Or is it just the case for some sectors of the local economy?
If so, which ones?

Calgary still gets lots of immigrants. The rental vacancy rate is low which tells me a surge of home buying is coming.

It's not the land of opportunity it was before Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley.

I like Vancouver's weather. We get 4 seasons. Summer just a shirt on. Autumn light jacket. Winter you wear a toque, gloves, that fake Canada goose. Spring is hoodie and shorts. Plenty of fashion you know. In Calgary and Australia it's really only 2 seasons with that cold weather and heat.Quote from: "TheVancouverGuy"
Most of Canada doesn't have four real seasons.

Nope. Other than the tropical north, which gets 2 seasons (the wet, and the dry), Australia gets 4 seasons. High summer temperature averaging around 28, spring and autumn around 22, and winter around 15.
Our summer weather fluctuates wildly...47.7 one day, 30 the next. In other seasons the weather is more consistent.

But winter is when Australia comes alive. Our most popular sports are played in winter, and our motor racing season is run during the cooler weather. It's rather odd.
Summer sports are tedious, dull and lack excitement. Cricket. Dull. Tennis. Even duller.

How do you heat your house in the winter?
I know it doesn't get cold very often.

Office space is the next largest expense for business after human resources. All corporations and retailers are doing everything they can to reduce their office and retail footprint.
I saw an estimate here that Australia's largest retail chains will dramatically reduce their floorspace in the foreseeable future as leases come up for renewal. Retail chains are especially over supplied with floor space.

Calgary's situation is a little different. It is the head office hub for Canada's oil and gas sector. Thanks to Justin Trudeau and the Alberta premier investment dollars can't leave Canada fast enough for the United States.
