Don't get me wrong, I'm over it, and I have accepted the name, but it just reeks of someone from Toronto saying "Hey, Calgary likes horses let's do that".

When the owners of Canada's premier horse facility also own the team, in a city with a western heritage, then the name style was inevitable.
If I'm being perfectly honest, Winnipeg has the name I would imagine a Toronto suit coming up with. "Valour FC" just screams "Know nothing about Winnipeg's history, searched Wikipedia."
Though, I suppose we can count ourselves lucky that suit didn't name them the Winnipeg General Strikers.
