There has a been a major excess supply of IT people in Calgary and in Canada in general for the past few years. Top end compensation in IT rarely moves (because it's really, really high). The bottom end hasn't been moving because of all the dot-com "IT" posers that got laid off and are just now reentering the market at cut rates. The mid end has moved up a bit, but it's not much, simply because there's a lot of IT people around and still not too much work.
