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. - P/ _% m& n' l( b1 M6 U ; e) M5 O+ A& H6 uWinter 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.
