As a native Calgarian I actually find it offensive when people say we need to render the Stampede and find a new identity. Please.... This is a tradition that has been long deep rooted in our city. Don't like it ... Don't go. It's an event that defines this city like it or not. I certainly hope it doesn't become a "Country concert" like some have suggested.

They had slavery in the US for a long time, but clearly that wasn't a good idea...
