Alberta.
The Good : Better economy, cheaper housing, less traffic, less rain and less crime.
The Bad : -30 degree winters and Nickelback.

Alberta does NOT have -30 degree winters even if you are way up north.
In the south we get maybe 5 -30 days a year. According to environment Canada we have the 3rd most temperate climate in Canada after Vancouver and Victoria!
Calgary's average winter temperature is -11C .
At the moment the economy is red hot but that makes housing difficult to find. You have to have $$ coming in to be able to afford accomodations. There are homes to buy if you have the $ for a down payment but rentals are much harder to find.

Do you want to live in Vansterdam or Altexas? (ie - they're both nice but socially BC is more liberal and Alberta more conservative)
Alberta is an oil driven economy whereas BC has a more diversified economy with forestry, tourism and high-tech leading the way.
As far as geography BC is almost all mountains, whereas just the western edge of Alberta is mountainous and then it descends into praries. The west coast of BC is rainforest, whereas Albertas climate is continental (cold winters and hot dry summers, well not as hot as Las Vegas but you get the picture)

Alberta. Move to Edmonton so that you can witness the greatest hockey team in all of history. I envy already.
Besides, Edmonton has lots of icy roads, and in the west,
snow plows, sand, and salt are not used (snow plows might get
used on highways). Plenty of work for insurance salesman.

Alberta - the economy is on fire, and with a million less people than BC, Alberta has a larger economy. About 70,000 GDP per person - far higher than the US.

British Columbia, but I suggest you train for a career in a more productive profession.
