I know several people that moved to Alberta and then decided to move back to Toronto because they didn't like the culture or people. The province is very conservative and the citizens often refer to themselves as 'rednecks'.

With the drop in oil prices, Alberta being an oil-based economy will be going through a serious economic correction and many individuals are already  planning to move out of the province as they anticipate an increasing unemployment rate. Also, the cost of living is relatively  high to other comparable Canadian cities, primarily because of its distance and isolation from sources for many of the necessary goods. The province used to be a major producing of coal and has areas that are reported with higher rates of cancer due to some carcinogenic agents. One of the residents of Pincher Creek had told me that the community has (or had at the time) the highest murder rate in all of Canada.

In 2013, despite Canada's murder rate being the lowest in 47 years, Edmonton had the 4th highest murder rate and Calgary the 7th highest murder rate in Canada. If you move to Alberta, you will have a 65.9% greater chance of being murdered than if you live in Ontario. Some people claim that Alberta's rate is actually higher because there may be foreign workers in the province who go missing and are never found. The legal system in Alberta is also not as sophisticated or fair as it is in Ontario or other provinces.

However, overall Canada is one of the safest countries in the world.
