As for fringe, the Edinburgh fringe festival is truly world class and the one most known. It spans almost a month and sells well over a million tickets to the 50k shows they put on. 50 000 is a lot more then the 16 000 in Edmonton. Edmonton Fringe is great and I've enjoyed it, but certainly don't toss the world class label on it.
What does it say? That he doesnt like fringe or folk music? Hardly a great comment

Fine, not world class. But nothing to sneeze at. The Edmonton Fringe Festival is the oldest and largest arts festival in North America. 850,000 attendees to the last one.
