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.

Want to know why Montreal gets all those great festivals, cultural events etc... Federal transfer payments from... Alberta.
Maybe we could have whimsical summers of care-free dancing and bongo playing (who the eff likes the bongos...) if Quebec would pull some of their weight...
By the way, there is nothing awesome about Montreal. St. Catherine's St. is a piece of nasty stripper trash.
