And yes, I want to live in a place that values freedom. Singapore is one of the worst countries in the world for freedom of the press.
But they’re ahead of China, so there’s that I guess.
You’re talking out of your ass and it’s showing. But go on, I’m enjoying it.

Ha, I've done that trip on that road many times in the winter. I also know the winter roads in Calgary. My family moved from Calgary to Penticton years ago and I've spent loads of time there visiting for extended periods. That road is not that bad, and Calgary roads are not that good. In distance, it's probably a bit further than a drive in from Airdrie to downtown, and the 97 is better than the 2 for most of the winter.
And of course neither place gets the biggest acts. They're both small towns! Kelowna has more stuff, but it's not like it's cosmopolitan. Same with the restaurant scene. It's all small town context. Small town is the featured life. It's a difference of degree, not of kind and not worth the hyperbole.
I will give you credit for living up to your handle though, Cecil. Truly coming across as the Springfield snob, looking down on the neighbouring towns for not living up.
I'll not even bother with your throwaway attack on China. You do you.
