Approximately 150 years ago, European settlers came to what is now known as Calgary and abolished the native way of life. By virtue of living here, we're expected to identify and be proud of this, because it's "our heritage". To commemorate, people throw on their nicest set of Wranglers and engage in acts of animal abuse and become obnoxious drunkards for two weeks every year. That's how.
