I hear things are ridiculously expensive there. But apparently the exchange rate is pretty good from CAN to USD? In my parent's town everything is actually really cheap (for instance, my baby sister, age 20, just moved into her own apartment and her rent is like $550/mo and it's not even subsidized housing) so I can understand why they'd travel down there, buy a ton of shit, and head back home. They always need to keep their receipts for customs - if it's one thing I remember about dealing with travelers, it's that.

Spent three days in Calgary once. Pretty much Texas with snow.

Thing about Canada is that BC, Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, and (some of) Alberta are all breathtakingly beautiful, but the Prairies and the Territories cancel it out.

Gross, dude. Are people ... um... kind of backward in Calgary?

It's not a safe place to be out alone at night, from my visiting experiences. There are a lot of drunks. And not to be racist, but yeah, a lot of the drunks are Natives.

Bad news: dude keeps the cat (probably closer to a kitten) outside all the time, doesn't seem to be giving it much, if anything, in the way of veterinary care, and really doesn't seem to be taking care of it very well in general. I have "liberated" the cat. His name is now Wade. `

All hail The Batlord.
Good on you dude! Kudos. Seriously. Waiting on pictures of Wade.
