About a year ago there was a body count thread for layoffs and company changes. Since then it feels as though the business climate in Calgary is improved, but I am curious what the average CPer thinks.

I see a lot of hiring into the traditional Calgary industries and companies, but not sure they are back to previous highs, or even close. I don't see the same prevalence of help wanted signs yet (though I'm told northern Alberta is going to hit a big labour shortage wall soon...maybe that will trickle down here).

Overall, 2011 is looking positive if unspectacular. Any stories to tell from CP businesses?
