I live near windsor .. action has dropped considerably with the weak US dollar and downturn in auto and manufacturing sectors. There is still action to be had .. but not as juicy as it was a couple years ago. Uncapped 10-20NL usually runs Fri and Sat. Haven't seen limit other than 3-6 (which always runs) there in a long time. I think they run a round for round Omaha/Holdem game still .. either Wed or Thur nights. Morning tourneys at ~10:00am either 50 or 100 buyin depending on the day of the week. (60 people I think) Monthly(last friday of month) 500 buyin still runs I think as well. They were spreading sit-n-gos for a while .. but the last couple of times I have been there they were not filling up.

Fallsview and casino niagara have the benefit of pulling (non poker player) tourists in and they give the games a shot (at least in the summer months). Also the nature of the area, very tourist oriented seems to give people there a healthy disregard for the value of money. As such the games there are much looser, and there is much more aggression.

There is no such "tourist" factor in Windsor and the casual players have thinned out quite a bit.

I can't speak first hand about Calgary or Edmonton - but keep in mind the economy out there is booming right now. They are paving the streets with gold to bring in trades people to work on oil and gas resources. Some of that boom must be finding its way to the poker rooms.
