Depends on the economy really. I was in Vancouver the year of the financial meltdown. Calgary is a different situation in that they need lots of warm bodies. They'll actually actively headhunt young people and pursue people they want for the long term.
Both Vancouver and Toronto seem to be all about keeping old white guys in as comfortable of living conditions possible for as long as possible. Calgary will join the rest of North America the next time the oil industry is interupted in any way. I do know lots of people in Calgary who were hired because of who their parents were. I know of two women who's firms found them new positions at other firms after their affairs with their managing partners were exposed. One ended up keeping the child. I'm sure there are lots more I don't know about.
