The Canadian Prosperity Report is not very encouraging, specially when compared to American lifestyle. It said that Canadians have less purchasing power and they live in smaller homes, something like 2,000 sq. ft. That the average Canadian worker in 1981 was producing 87 percent of what the average American worker did. In 2007, the Canadian output is only 79 percent and the country is at risk of falling even further behind.

The Conference Board of Canada ended recently and confirmed that British Columbia’s economy will expand by a healthy 3.2 percent in 2007. Vancouver will remain the country’s third-fastest-growing city while Abbotsford and Victoria will slow down among the 20 Canadian cities surveyed by the Board. Also growing with British Columbia are Calgary and Edmonton.

Calgary covers the largest area of any city in Alberta, a modern city with an air of a frontier town.
