Let me rephrase my questions.

Which city has more job opportunities? It does not have to be in IT.
Which one has less crime?
Which one has better weather?
Which one has better schools (elementary)?

Thanks.

Medicine Hat is similar in size to both of the above and has better weather, less crime, very good schools and good prospects of employment. They also have a better hockey team !!!

Calgary is going to have more IT jobs than Red Deer or Lethbridge.

BTAIM:

Lethbridge - windy, dry, has a university, has more of it's own identity than Red Deer. Is near Waterton Lakes Narional Park. Is an hour and twenty minutes south of Calgary.

Red Deer. Less windy, no university, though lots of RV sales lots!! Has access to the Red Deer river and Rocky Mountain House to the West. There's a few lakes nearby.
Is an hour and a half north of Calgary, half way to Edmonton, so it's kind of a motorway stop!

To the OP though, why have you picked lethbridge or red deer ????
i would say that edmonton/calgary are for the IT jobs, they are here in lethbridge/medicine hat etc but the large citys maybe the better option

In the WHL I would say the Tigers, but then again I am biased
