Depending on your source Vancouver, B.C. area has 1 or 2 of the most
expensive cities to live in Canada but Alberta also has 2. But Ontario
has 6 of them (although B.C. does tend to hit #1) so for the most part
costly homes are more widespread in Ontario.. Toronto usually hits #2.

If you're looking just for cheap housing I wouldn't put Alberta very
close to the top of the list. A lot of provinces didn't even make
the list in the top 10 highest cost.

We tend to think of Alberta as being more like much of the USA.
Very conservative, worse than average healthcare for low income
people and lots of bonuses and lower taxes for rich people.
