3. People whose rating systems end at "not that bad." (For example: "Canned chicken isn't actually that bad!" or "Yeah the dentist forgot the freezing before he did the root canal, but it wasn't actually that bad!") Not me, I have a list of cities I dislike as well

This part I simply do not understand:

The amount of hate in this thread is amazing. I get teasing other cities, promoting your own city, or even not liking another city, but this thread is so..... weird - the emotions coming out of people.
It is like most of the people on here need to list a bunch of reasons on why Edmonton is bad, just to prove to themselves that people not from Calgary indeed think Calgary is better. I brag about how Calgary is better than Edmonton for a lot of reasons, and a big one is the fact that we don't hate on our neighbors to the north like they do on us.
Turns out, we're worse. Way Worse.
