I am very sympathetic to the idea that cold but sunny winters are superior to temperate overcast winters. But for my tastes, Victoria does a better compromise of temperature and blue skies.

What's the coldest temperature you've hit in Calgary this year?

To me it beats Vancouver for nature access. You don't have to get stuck on the Lionsgate Bridge for two hours to get into nature

Good point about Saanich. It would be near the top of the list of places I'd want to live in the region if Victoria itself was off the list
