I'm a lot more interested in Calgary becoming a cosmopolitan city rather than an "international" city that is well-known worldwide. The latter has no practical impact on my life at all, as nobody cares what part of Canada you are from overseas, and nobody knows any of the parts of Canada below the 49th.

Seriously, if you meet someone from Germany, do you think of them as a Berliner (for example) instead of a German? We may think we are vastly different from a Torontonian, but the rest of the world sees the similarities far more than the differences.
