I can't speak as an outsider but people have talked about the pressure of marrying an Albertan or dating in Alberta as a little different then say Toronto. More of the people here want to get actually married, couples are younger and romantically linked younger then what they are used to. Incomes are higher so younger people progress in their life quicker etc. People kinda become more Albertan then they think even though they don't really identify as conservative.
I somewhat find that the immigrants or people of immigrant background adopt a similar mindset. More of a local Canadiana in their day to day habits and lifestyles/Neighborhoods. You routinely find people of immigrant backgrounds in Toronto/Montreal who have lived in Canada for 30 years and speak little English. In the neighborhoods and people they grew up with all speak their language and have businesses and professions to cater to them. Stark difference than in Alberta

Most of this makes me question whether or not you actually live here.
