That must've been hell on your wardrobe.
Do Albertans work longer hours than other parts of Canada?
I would imagine Alberta, especially calgary, has a large portion of it's working population that are sitting at desks, likely for long hours.
Calories help keep you going and it's a big part of the lifestyle now. Double Double in the morning to get you started, a few beers afterwork to get yourself back down. Rinse and repeat with a BBQ on the weekends.
