Calgary is known for it's small town feel, western hospitality, and great civic pride. It was what attracted so many people to love this city during the 1988 Olympics.
I hate that so many people want to get rid of that western culture, just so we can become another big city like all the rest.

Yeah, because we don't get hit over the head with that stuff all the time anyways. 
Calgary is actually much, much more than just horses and cowboy hats, and everything "western". The sooner people embrace that, the better off this city will be. I hate that so many people want to pigeonhole the city and all its citizens into that identity. It holds the city back.
