I'd never give up the Kootenays without a fight- especially for my friends and the local sports (EH?).
But if I was forced to leave, I wouldn't live too far away. Three cities...
Seattle: I absolutely loved this place- the wafty Puget Sound, diversity, seafood and caffeine (a starbucks on EVERY BLOCK!!!). The only downside is the damn precipitation- I never saw clear skies during my 5 day trip there in early Summer.
Calgary: I've been probably 30 times, and every time the city smiles at ya. I've never ONCE met an ass, there's no homeless wherever you go (don't take that the wrong way- they have tons of shelters), and the place is a million-person party during playoff season. Check out 17th ave (known as the Red Mile) during their last finals series.
Edmonton: I'm heading there anyway for my last 5 years of schooling at U of A, starting a couple of years from now. Like Calgary, it's insane for Hockey and has a great vibe to it.
