Not sure why Calgarians feel the need to lump ourselves in with dumps like Edmonton and Winnipeg when literally no third parties think they we deserve to be in remotely the same category. Cities often ranked close to calgary in listings:
- Vienna
- Osaka
- Vancouver
- Copenhagen
- Melbourne
Your opinion is unpopular because it's not backed up by anything, not because it's hard to accept.

because it seems many NHL players put Calgary in the same category.
how many of those places you have NHL teams? Vancouver. you have to look at Calgary as an NHL destination not if it's a nice place or not.
and no matter if you admit it or not, Calgary is far closer to Edmonton or Winnipeg when it comes to culture than the other cities you've just listed.
when NHL players look at places they want to play, Calgary is closer to the bottom than anything else. why would they care if Calgary is ranked amongst Vienna or Melbourne as a nice place to live?
