    They regularly run to Edmonton. Place I loaded cardboard at back in the day was full of them...

    I gotta say Seattle is the worst I've driven in. I saw a car merge on, cut over 4 lanes, and cut back over to take the next exit. Not to mention I've been braked checked so many times on the 405 for running in 2 lanes while being oversized threw the construction zones. I wake up extra early everytime I have to go to Tacoma to avoid rush hour...

    Your right. Poor choice of words on my part. What I meant was a minority demographic, not TFW's. Watching what's happening in Alberta is interesting....

    Yep. There is a lot of uneasiness here in Alberta at the moment. I hear people saying that Alberta put all their eggs in one basket with oil but really what else does Alberta have other than oil? Labour costs would be too much to be an effective player in manufacturing. We don't really have much for tourist attractions other than Banff or Jasper. Alberta really only has oil and logging for major industries as far as I can tell.

    Investing in the finance, information and high-tech sectors would probably be a good idea.
