Default Calgary or Toronto

Hey guys,

I'm moving to either of these cities and having a really hard time deciding which one is best for me..
Love some opinions from people in similar situations or who are in the know, it may come down to flipping a coin..

Toronto is redneck. Calgary is forward thinking.

Red neck? I thought Toronto was progressive ie. Gay couples kissing in streets without being lynched/burned at the stake?

Calgary just recently elected a muslim academic as mayor.

Toronto just elected some red neck jackass for their mayor.

I've never been to Calgary but I lived in Toronto for 7 years and loved it. Toronto is still one of my fav cities and I visit as often as I can.
