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.

3.5 million people in the Montreal Metro Community versus, what, 1.1 million in Calgary? 125,000 students at McGill, Concordia, and the University of Montreal versus 30,000 at the U. of C.. Calgary just doesn't have that market size and critical mass.
