unless people are just spending money they don't have now compared to money they did have before.
I think sometimes people can't see outside of the O&G bubble in this city. Despite all the layoffs in Calgary, the vast majority of the working population still have jobs, and many with jobs that have been unaffected by the downturn. For instance using myself as an example, I work in insurance, my wife in banking, and thankfully we've been completely unaffected by any of this and gone on living and spending as normal.
