I travel for work globally. I'd say 50% of my time is on the road. Even though I moved to Van just in time to miss the '04 run, when asked where I'm from, I always say I live in Vancouver, but I'm from Calgary. I still consider myself a proud Calgarian.
Images ranging from what the world saw of the Red Mile, thousands of people celebrating without destroying the city, to the co-operation and humanity Calgarians showed each other during the flood aftermath are why I still hold this pride so dear.
The BS and D'Baggery that spawned this thread makes me sick. Calgary you are better than that.
Thank-you mkd for your thoughtful and poignant post.
