Calgary, to me, felt like a young person with a lot of money.
Vancouver seemed more middle-aged. And it definitely had a stronger and more old-fashioned sense of social status. Nothing compared to the east, of course... but Vancouver still felt like you might not get a job there because of your surname.
Calgary felt oblivious to history as far as those sorts of things go. I imagine people there don't get sweaty palms too often upon learning someone's surname during introductions.
But, you know, a few days in each. Hard to get a well-rounded impression.
