When Deerfoot Trail is your local racetrack.

When the cops pass you.....even if you go 120km/h.

[jammies]

... you figure bar-b-q weather is anything above -30 C
... you can find your way from anywhere to anywhere in downtown using the +15
... you know that Forest Lawn, Bowness and Midnapore aren't just neighborhoods but used to be villages outside the city limits
... you know who all the retired Stampeder numbers stand for on the McMahon stadium wall
... you don't go to the Stampede because it's for tourists and transplants
... you drive by the site of the old General Hospital and feel bitter that it was never replaced
... you still can't stand Gretzky

[lambeburger]

...you have to endure the overabundance of playground and school zones and slow to 30 kph

...you know what a +15 is

...you call Light Rail Transit trains in other cities "C-Trains"

...you get drunk for 10 days straight in July

...you are still to this day angry about the National Energy Program

...you enjoy the confused looks on Vancouverites faces after you talk about the C-train in Calgary; "Why would Calgary have a Sea-train? that's not like our Sea-bus is it?"

[Dion]

When the LRT used to be called "Little Ralphies Train". (When Klien was mayor)
