I am so glad we're shaking this cowboy/conservative perspective, especially in the last 10 years. I had friends wanting to leave back then, but the city has grown so beautifully people are now being convinced to stay.

Why are you so glad to shake the cowboy heritage of the city? I think it's wonderful that Calgary has a unique identity and kept it's traditions.
I hope Calgary never "shakes" the cowboy image and heritage. It's not like you are forced to be a cowboy to live in the city. But you should respect the fact that cowboy culture is in Calgary's roots and don't try to extinguish it just because you don't necessarily like it.
