If Calgary moves away from their Western heritage, they risk becoming just another bland vague city with little to no culture.
Let's face it, it's Calgary identity whether Calgarians like it or not.
Vancouver is an artsy city. Toronto is a business city. Montreal is sort of an old world artsy city. Edmonton is... a toilet.
I get the problems with the Saddledome's roof, but it's just so distinctly Southern Alberta. As a person who has been to Calgary once in my life, I love it.
