If you have any information I'd like to apply at this mythical fast food restaurant where I can earn $45/hour. I would bet there are thousands of people in Calgary who would quit their jobs without notice if they could make that kind of money.
Minimum wages in 2005 were between $7.20 and $8.86. They don't breach $9 until 2008:

I definitely saw signs in Calgary advertising starting wages north of $20/hour.
