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.

Fair enough re: Ontario as its been a long long time ago since I was there.
That said, I have lived in BC, Alberta and the Maritimes, and have spent some time in Que visiting. All 3 places make us look like pansies, although I find in the maritimes I find there are a lot more people who just keep on driving (even when they should technically stop).
