No more Gold in Edmonton? Ex Says it all.

Edmontonians want the city's name to be used more. If you asked us, most of us are sick of things like "Capital Health" "Captial Region", and now this stupid "Capital Ex".

And for those of you ignoramuses calling us "mulletheads" - for shame. Do I have to post that infamous "HOT WOMEN AT THE CALGARY STAMPEDE" picture again?

Wow. You mean there's a picture out there that represents the ~10% of the women you see at the Stampede? Say it ain't so.

I'm sorry to say it; but there is a higher proportion of mullets in Edmonton than there is in Calgary. The ratio is about the same as the ratio of blue collar workers to white collar.

Winnipeg has you beat though.

You know, I really don't give a flying f*** either way. I don't worry about trivial comparisons; I'm way more secure than that, thank you very much! It's when some ignorant ******* comes along generalizes our whole city. I would honestly love these twits to say that crap to my face and see how big they feel after that!

I can admit that in the past I've been guilty of this too though; I used to brand Calgary as the self-righteous haven for Canadas largest collection of inbred, mullethead, redneck Conservative-fanatics.

Ha ha stupid Oilers.

"I don't care what you say but if you say it I'll fight you"!

An Edmonchukker and an internet tough guy. Ladies, get in line. We've got a real catch here!

[Tikk]

Haha stupid Flamer!

I wasn't trying to act like an internet tough guy. I would just love for them to say that stuff to that stuff to my face. Not one of you would.

Post your pic and I'll post mine. Then we decide who's a catch and who's not, buddy.

Geez you are sharp.

"I'm not an internet tough guy but I'm tougher than all of you. Grrrrr".

As for your offer of a "hockey message board hotness competition", I think I'll take a pass. You win by default. Congrats!

[Tikk]

Default? The two sweetest words in the English language. Dee Fault, dee fault, dee fault, dee fault...

You would have lost anyways

Holy crap, I didn't know people lived in Edmonton under their own free will, let alone defend the place. I always thought that it was more of a home base for all the rig-pigs.

They're going to have to change the name of the city to "Ex-Capital" soon if they keep losing jobs under a thriving economy. I don't understand how it's possible for a City in Alberta to be losing jobs under such a booming economy.

Calgary generated nearly nine out of 10 new jobs in the province during the past year, with 30,700 additional paycheques being collected in the city.

...


The latest figures from Statistics Canada show Alberta adding 34,700 new jobs between January 2005 and January 2006, with Calgary's 30,700 positions far outperforming the next biggest city, Edmonton, which actually lost 16,100 jobs. Athabasca-Grande Prairie added 11,000 jobs, while Wood Buffalo -- including Fort McMurray -- gained 2,300.
