With the salt on the roads I recommend single speed or fixed gear. Last year, even on a fixie my chain seized up after a few days of riding in that salt, and after that I was lubing up my chain every day.
The theoretical optimum for winter in YEG would be a belt driven fixie with cyclocross (knobby) tires, but you'd need an aftermarket belt drive conversion kit.
The bike shops around town are unfortunately not doing a good job of providing a good selection of bikes suitable for winter commuters. You go into any given bike shop in Edmonton in winter and it's like "Did anyone here ride a bicycle to work today? Anyone? Does anyone here have a clue what it's like to ride a bicycle to work in this city in winter?'
I bought a bike this summer from Critical cycles, which you can Order from Amazon, that was $260 shipped, and for the price point it's an awesome bike. I'd recommend that + some knobby tires, (although I don't use knobby tires myself.)
This is the lock that I have and it's considered the most robust. It's quite heavy though.
