I'd have to say no. Alot of Americans - especially out West - seem to know who we are, mostly due to the Stampede or the '88 Olympics(and in some cases the Flames). But when you travel overseas, when you say you're from Canada the main responses I noticed are: "Are you from Toronto?...Vancouver?...Montreal?" You have to explain where Calgary is. TO, Van and Mtl are the only international cities IMO in the country. But Calgary's first in the next list down.
