I was riding the C train to a Stamps/Riders game one time. A Riders fan piped up that he would be embarrassed if he saw so many people from Calgary in Regina. I told him that no one from Calgary wants to go to Regina because it sucks, and the proof that Calgary is better is that so many people from Saskatchewan move here. People laughed; he went silent.
It's the same thing with Calgary and Edmonton. People want to move to Calgary because it's awesome. People don't move to Edmonton because it's terrible. They are smart enough to stay away. The people that are in Edmonton are multi-generational occupants, that aren't smart enough to get out. By continuing to breed with other Edmontonians, they continue to devolve, similar to cousins mating.
