I honestly think Calgary is "worse" for the zipper merge anger because we're much more friendly as a "smaller" city up till now. Despite being legal, it was seen as rude to "budge ahead" and just now its becoming commonplace enough (and a big enough impediment to flow) that education is starting and society is changing.
Toronto is so big and everyone is so used to people cutting ahead that you're no longer offended since it is part of the game, and if you dont do it, someone else will (or you'll get yelled at). Ditto for some cities and using the shoulder and/or bike lane splitting.
