Might be a type of Lygus bug?
They are common in Calgary, though they look kinda more brown then the dark in the photo, but they do have that white chevron shape and those little lighter markings at the back sides.

Oh that looks spot on! There were definitely no orange marks on that bug. I just reviewed the 4 different pics I have of it and the Lygus in that link looks very close. Time to start some research...

Edit: I've spent a bunch of time on farms lately - I'm thinking I might have brought this fella home with me...
