I think it's the deciding data point really. Calgary and Edmonton both somewhat similar size, so split on the numbers there, but it's the smaller cities and towns where it's just a comical imbalance. Nothern Alberta is Oilers cult 100%, and southern alberta barely breaks in the Flames favor, maybe even still leans Oilers.
