This is the exact attitude that stigmatizes life in Alberta - we spend 23 hours a day working, with hardly any time left in the day to relax.
It's great that we have a high standard of living here because all we do is work, but when are we going to be able to enjoy the same cultural events that a place like Montreal holds? Here, cultural events seem to have to be pre-planned and marketed weeks in advance to draw attendees. In Montreal, people just congregate on a whim.
I wish Calgary had that. However, if you approach people in a park with a pair of bongos or a guitar, they'll either call the cops, or tell you they don't have change and that you should get a job.
