I know that gas in Alberta is not too bad. It's probably more expensive than anything in the states, but it's 99.9 here in Kelowna, and when Tasha was here (she's from Calgary) she mentioned the gas over there being significantly lower.

With everything else it really depends on where you go. There are tons of really cheap places, but tons of really expensive places as well. It's no different than the states that way. I know that Shelteez2, scteve_d, and Crikit all live in Alberta. Maybe PM them and ask which places are the best.
