found it weird how obsessive the city is about its rivalry with Edmonton. Ya, there's the sports thing...and that's great. Nothing wrong with that. But having now lived in both cities, it's the City to the North that seems to know when to turn it OFF. Just found it far more petty in Calgary with no OFF switch. Couldn't quite get a handle on why, especially when you consider the overall outward confidence of the city.
Ummmm. Off switch?

I find this comment true and false at the same time.
It's true that Calgarians in general are harder on the city of Edmonton. Lots of people refer to it as a dump or a lesser city when you get into conversations about the cities in general. You won't hear too many Edmontonians talking smack about Calgary in general.
It's false when it comes to sports fans. I find Edmonton sports fans extremely abrasive and when it comes to the Flames/Oilers and Stamps/Eskimos rivalries. Edmontonians loath the Calgary teams much more than Calgarians loath the Edmonton teams. There's no getting around it the Edmonton sports fans are the most arrogant in the country as they all still pine about great 80's teams like it was yesterday. I see people in this city wear Oilers gear and never get grief but if you wear Stampeders or Flames gear in Edmonton you will get slagged.
