    Same, and the most dangerous wildlife are probably gray wolves or brown bears, neither of which are particularly dangerous to humans... There's not even any dangerous insects or reptile here.

    It's like Anti-Australia.

    I've never felt an earthquake before. I don't know if it's possible for that to happen in Calgary.

    share your stories of being in earthquakes, do you like them? hate them?
    I live in Chile, son. The country got hit a couple of weeks ago with an 8 richter + tidal waves, in 2012 with an 8.3, and in 2010 with an 8.8 plus tsunami. Trust me when I tell you that for most people it's business as usual until 5.9 richter. Once it hits 6.0, everyone assesses if the next shake increases in strength. If it does, then you will see movement towards a safe place and once it stops shaking people will go outside and chat about it. If it doesn't, it's business as usual.

    At 8 you are worried, and can't really walk so you wait in a safe area. Then you go out and chat about it.

    At 8.5 you pray to a god of your choice. You might choose one there and then. Nobody will judge you.

    They don't do any fracking around Calgary?
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
