There are times all the good reef stuff is in BC. The pendulum swings one way, then it swings the other. I don't know if standard of living really has that much to do with it - there might be some folks who are living high off the hog right now but for the most part, I don't really think that applies to the average family living in Calgary. There are times all the good deals and all the good shwag is on the coast. Lower Mainland anyhow..

I have to agree. I know I'm more so living in debt then high off the hog! I admit there is a good selection of stores and people to trade/buy things from, but there has been many times when the one thing I really wanted (at the time) was for sale in BC.

Not that i can explain it but Calgary is one of the largest areas for SW hobbiests in North America. Its probably explainable by the work hard play hard motto. We dont have anything close enough to play in so we keep fish.

We spend all our money on wet reefer supplies, not the dried kind.

BC: Pot capital of the world. That must be the reason, we are all so busy with our growups, we have no time for anything else.
