Hey Edmonton.... Calgary got the Games, Vancouver got the Games... when you get the Winter Games too, you may join us in the upper echelons of the Halls of Olympic Fame.
Until then, please lie down and leave the promoting of Olympics-related stuff to the big boys. You may follow our lead and learn if you want, but please stand to the side and just watch. Thank you.

Hopefully this post was in jest?
I think Edmonton has an honest right to be a little cheezed. I mean, its a provincially funded event (including the "alberta-house") and the province should be promoted as a whole, including both our cities (and the smaller ones).
In all seriousness, you don't think we would be a little angry if there was little mention of our city and all people were talking about was Edmonton's Klondyke days and mullet mondays?
Seems like a pretty fair set of questions from their mayor, and it does seem like he understands that his city was a little reserved in their marketing attempts compared to Calgary.
