Tough call, as neither has well-balanced seasons (average lows below freezing in October are not my tea!) and both are rather dry (I'm surprised Calgary Int'l is now Dwb under the 1981−2010 norms) and sunny by Canadian standards. Will have to go with Calgary though for the same reasons as Rozenn. If, however, one of the battle participants were replaced by Denver, DEN would win my favour by a long shot.

I agree, Denver is much better than both of these.
^^ I've always thought Denver was a fairly warm climate (at least from a daytime high point of view) people exaggerate the cold in Denver a lot, they never seem to mention the days in January that get above 60 F (and even 70 F at times). Denver from a cold lover's point of view is not that great of a climate, IMO.
Denver is not even in the same ballpark with either Calgary or Winnepeg.
32C average highs in July, and 8C highs in February?
Yes, not the same ballpark, but both Denver and Calgary are subject to the immediate influence of chinooks. Both also have [incredibly] mild winter highs for North American locations east of the Rockies; on a tangency, Denver actually has warmer normal monthly highs from Jan to Mar than Baltimore
I've found the winters in Edmonton far more severe than those in Calgary. I've never lived in Winnipeg but her winters look to be even worse than Edmonton's so they must indeed be brutal.
On the other hand, summers in Calgary are essentially non-existent. You can never count on a warm evening at any time of year (even after a warm day).

So they both stink. What can you do?
live in Moose Jaw!
