Stupid Alberta trying too hard to be Texas.

Also what the hell with showing them children riding sheeps, rodeos and stuff is fine but children riding sheeps? But that might just be me and my hatred for children there.

Also Kate is still incredibly hot.

Yeah, I'm pretty critical of Alberta (the province sucks except for Edmonton) but the Calgary Stampede is almost like... legendary.

I will never say Edmonton is better because the closest (good) ski hill is 5 hours away, and a meager 2 hours from Calgary!

Edmonton is better than Calgary solely because I live in the former and every time I've gone to Calgary, I've ended up lost at some point. And I have a good sense of direction so I can only conclude that Calgary is a disorganized mess of horror and confusion.

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.

I have nothing about the stampede itself, it's just that the province (and the rest of the prairies) just feel too redneck to me and I don,t like it, though I guess every country needs its share of redneck-like people.

A friend who went to Calgary said it was the most boring place he's ever been to, and apparently even people living there said the same.

Why are you so concerned about impressing some royals. Are you some sort of monarchist.

Yes, yes it is.

But yeah, Calgary does kind of suck. The night life does not even compare to Edmonton's. I actually thought the entire province sucked for the first 8 years I lived here (Lethbridge) and then I went to Edmonton for the first time. People usually only talk about Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver as the places to be in Canada, but I'd say Edmonton is right behind them.

People from BC normally don't like people from Alberta.

We're usually on opposite ends on many issues.

I've never lived anywhere else major in Canada (well, I lived in Winnipeg and Ottawa when I was a baby) so I can't compare. I've either been in Edmonton, the Edmonton area, a small city north east of Edmonton, or Germany. And I'd like our "night life" a lot more if it didn't involve noises and sirens going while I'm trying to sleep. Being close to lots of emergency services and to one of the bigger bar/club areas in the city isn't a great combo at night.
