Sportsnet only exists as a means to consume Flames games. Don't mind Wills/Lou at all. Surprised to hear people dislike Wils' cadence/enunciation -- Peter Maher must have driven you bonkers. That same American wife once asked me about Maer, "Does he always yell? He sounds like that Will Farrell character with voice modulation disease."

Hiller points out even the notion of a major street or freeway being called a "trail" is something that is distinctly Calgary. It harkens back to the oxcart trail that was used to carry supplies and people to Calgary from Fort Benton, Montana

Also, imagine if you had married a British gal, from a place where we all know what ‘shag’ means and they refer to a diaper as a ‘nappy’
