It's Alberta. Most people are afforded a pretty good lifestyle.
Teachers can make $100,000, Nurses, Police Officers. All of the trades.
I would say basically any family with a working, bachelor educated female in it has a good chance of being around the $200,000 per year mark.

This article from 2005 says that the richest 20% in Alberta make over $290,000 per year.
When at least one quarter of the working population in Alberta are pulling in $200K a year in household income, that has to be a middle class earner.
