3) Calgary IS urban sprawl, any attempt at building the downtown core as something other than a ghost town other than business hours should have happened about 40 years ago.
4) In terms of culture....Winnipeg has more culture than Calgary can dream of.
5) History....Calgary is a VERY young city and acts like it.
Calgary is what it is...you can throw a bunch of money into this, that and the next thing to try to establish some kind of identity but really what it comes down to is that we are largely a city of get rich fast transients that will leave on a dime when it all goes south.
