Yikes. Tense thread...
Well, having grown up in Alberta all my life (Edmonton) and spent a lot of time in Calgary, I consider myself to be an Alberta refugee. I live in Vancouver now and I'd sell my soul to the devil to stay in BC and not go back to Alberta...
Sounds harsh, but it's more of an I love BC statement than a hate for Alberta.
The thing I do find narrow-minded about Alberta though that I can't stand is the whole:
"I need a big fuck off truck/SUV to drive on paved roads to work, and I need a huge urban sprawl cookie cutter house with a useless front lawn" mentality.
The entire city of Calgary is bigger than New York but only has 1MIL population! Calgary has some awesome spots and I would live there over Edmonton, but it could be SO much more if people understood the sense of urban community/culture that comes with more densely populated areas.
That said I wouldn't live in TO either. I just have to roll my eyes everytime someone from there tells me it's the best place despite having never really been anywhere else, or that the Leafs are the best despite having a big ass payroll and not winning anything with it in 40 years...
