Anyway... Did you major in irony when you went to university or are you really taking some kind of 'moral' stand on behalf of 'Natives'?

Incidentally, I have lived here in 'God's Country Calgary' for most of my life.
So what is your point? That you are either a self-loathing Calgarian, or yet another pompous BC a-hole with delusions of superiority? Or both at the same time?

But, hey. We can always take our cue from those perfect people of Vancouver Island, who know what is best for good ole redneck Calgary and can teach us hicks a thing or two about appreciating the artistry of piled up metal and rock garbage...

After winning a contract to design a sculpture for the outside of the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in 2003, the internationally-renowned artist created Pavilion, Rock and Shell, an assemblage of metal and rock chunks. Then-mayor Alan Lowe explored the possibility of revoking the city’s contract with Baden after a public outcry, but found it was not legally possible.

...oh, wait.
