Calgary - Quickly Becoming Alberta’s Toronto
July 18, 2007 · By Greg Farries
Jeffery Simpson wraps up many Albertans feelings towards the center of Alberta’s universe:
Few tears, however, are being shed for Calgary elsewhere in Alberta. (Edmonton never sheds them.) Calgarians won’t appreciate the comparison, but, in Alberta, their city is now regarded provincially as Toronto is nationally: fat, self-absorbed and whining, a kind of Hogtown West.
[...]
Calgary’s nose remains out of joint. A lot of other Albertans reply: Tough.
Craig Cheffins first words when he came to the door were that lots of Calgarians think they are getting a raw deal from the Provincial Government.
I said that I don’t think we are deprived.
Libs like to ‘Divide and Conquer”!
Funny Jeffrey Simpson didn’t pick up on that.
