LOL. This is what I'm talking about. Anything but complete buy in to western identity is somehow "hate".
Because I think not everything about Calgary has to be horses and cowboy hats its considered "hate" of western heritage (I don't even remotely hate anything about this city) and gets you to pull out the classic "love it or leave it" line. Well done.
No thanks, good where I am. Feel free to celebrate horses at every turn and I'll feel free to define my life in the city as I see fit.
