Most of my driving experience was in Ont (for a few years I was putting 40K a year on vehicles), but in Calgary I've seen way more people just get to a corner and start walking without even looking.

Downtown, I'll grant you; in other cities it is a battle of will between pedestrians and traffic. Usually because the gridlock slows traffic so much that pedestrians get used to dodging slow moving cars.

But outside of downtown, or even in mall parking lots, it seems oncoming traffic is barely a second thought to Calgary pedestrians.
