This is a "you know you're a Calgarian" thread, not "you know you live in a major North American city."

You move here from Saskatchewan, and then complain that there are too many people moving here......
...and that everything's too expensive....
...and that people aren't as friendly as back home...
.....and brag about how much better saskatchewan is...

You don't think
Sarcee trail, Crowchild trail, or Blackfoot trail are strange road names.

...after coming back from a weekend trip to Edmonton to check out the mall you answer every question about where you spent the weekend with "Man, I forgot what a... trash heap/butt hole/war zone/crap fest ...Edmonton was!" somewhere in your response.
...you complain about how much things have changed in the last ten years, all for the worse, yet have no plan to leave.
...your BBQ is in a constant stand-by mode all winter in case of chinooks.
