BTW, if given the choice, why would anyone live in Regina? Isn't that a reason to go all on your own. And even if you think the city is ok to live in, they have the worst sports fans on the continent. If they aren't leaving turds on your lawn cause of missed field goals they are spewing venom at Burris and Calgary because a UNRESTRICTED free agent decided to take more money.

This will become a pissing match I'm sure and I probably shouldn't even reply but ignorance bugs me. So, to totally de-rail the thread, I like how people bash things they know nothing about. I live in Regina and feel no need to bash other cities. Calgary is an awesome city - I really enjoy my time when I'm there. I've been offered jobs in Calgary but have turned them down which is just a choice I've made. I've got a good job here, I own a 2,300 square foot home (which I paid probably 1/4 of what I'd pay for in Calgary) and I'm a 15 minute drive door to door each to work from my house to my office downtown. It provides me with great work-family-leisure balance which I'm not willing to give up (at this time).
I won't get into an argument about Rider fans. Believe it or not, many folks outside of Calgary think Calgary sports fans are some of the worst.
