Winter in Edmonton is too harsh, more than 6 months long. Car insurance is highest because of the bad road condition during winter. Even you drive with caution, but what if someone else hit you. $ d# |2 N( O1 e' `# E' S ' @* b# J! K- W- L, FWinter here drive me crazy, if not for a job, I won't stay here for even one more winter. The housing price? definitely should not be higher than any other cities.
