This past winter saw us have thaws and then deep freezes. Which meant, skating rinks for highways and city roads for months on end. Nope. Not me man.
What are you talking about? Lots of people drive sports cars in the winter in Canada, and yes in Alberta. Heck, I grew up driving rear wheel drive muscle cars with crap rubber in Edmonton 3+ decades ago.

And Alberta is nothing for snow. Try living in a snowbelt where you get pummeled over and over again with 20+ cm dumps. And yet, all through the snowbelts in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes people drive sports cars throughout winter. The biggest problem in Edmonton is avoiding the stubble- jumpers from Saskatchewan who can't drive anything other than a combine
