Quote:
The spokesman — recently-transplanted Calgarian Jeff Angel — said Edmonton’s bearing the brunt of a petroleum-driven workforce that blows off steam, leading to violence.
“Edmonton’s the hub of the North...these workers leave their camps and what’s the first big city they come to?” said Angel.
“Edmonton’s a happening town and when they come from a dry camp, it’s a bit like coming to Disneyland.”

First off, Edmonton is so funny with their obsession with hating us. It happens all the time in their newspapers and on television news. They just had to get that the City of Edmonton representative recently moved there from Calgary as if it is a) some sort of dig on Calgary or b) it gives some sort of legitimacy to Edmonton because a Calgarian moved there.
Secondly, do they really want to be putting the message out that "We're a good city. We just have a lot of idiots who can't function in society without resorting to violence who come here to commit said acts of violence"?
