Of course:
Calgary is more affordable than Toronto in terms of housing and taxes (even if Calgary is more expensive since the city can match the price of living)
Before taxes, an employment income of $250,000 is 5x more than an income of $50,000, but the after-tax income is only 4.19x as much (in the province of Alberta)
Yes, they are both major cities with the exception of Calgary being smaller than Toronto but Calgary is also bigger than it's capital neighbor, Edmonton [that is strange but understandable] (in terms of population).
Since Toronto is better in entertainment than Calgary, there's still some forms of entertainment: it has a rodeo once a year, but there are also galleries, museums, dance companies, independent theatres, the Philharmonic orchestra, and opera.
In terms of weather, Calgary’s weather typically consists of hot summers and cold winters. Being in the prairie region means Calgary experiences more hours of sunlight than most Canadian cities, and the mountains cause Calgary’s climate to be rather dry. The rainfall that does occur usually falls in the spring and summer.
Winter in Calgary may be long and cold but is occasionally relieved by warm winds called Chinooks. Average daily temperatures are 17°C in summer and -7°C in winter. The weather in Calgary is notoriously changeable so it’s best not to rely on the daily weather predictions too much.
Outdoor activities? Calgary is a city close to the Rockies, so there's over 1,100 playgrounds and 5,600 parks within the city's limits.
Regardless of where you are in Calgary or Toronto, I'd always be careful at night.
In general, Calgary is a city laid-back with lower cost of living. As for Toronto, I would have to assume that it is fun but rather expensive.
