Obviously Toronto and Montreal are global cities. I'm not sure about Vancouver or Ottawa. I don't travel internationally so I'm not sure if Calgary is well known or perceived as an international city.

That being said, I was watching CNN tonight and they mentioned that Bush's new job is speaking on a lecture circuit at $150k a pop. The talking head said his first visit will be in "Calgary". Not "Calgary, Alberta" or "Calgary, Canada", or "Calgary, Alberta, Canada".

Considering most of CNN's audience is American, does Calgary have enough of a stature that people know where it is? I'm guessing CNN thinks so or they would have changed it to something like Bush's first stop would be in Canada.
