How important are ties, outside of the legal environment? I've started to find them distasteful, probably from being back in Calgary.

I've worn them and not worn them in different non-legal business environments. I'd say the tie does command respect, but it is important to have a great personality with a good sense of humor when you're wearing a tie. Nobody likes a "stuffed shirt" that thinks he's too full of himself. The best balance is looking sharp with a tie IMHO, but also having a great personality that can soften it a bit. You can also wear a nice button-down shirt without a tie, and pair it with a good well-fitting coat. As mentioned above, the fit matters most, no matter what you're wearing.
