That list is garbage, and Banff is pretty overrated.

Kelowna after Calgary and Edmonton? Have these people ever been to these places?

A better question...what is the appeal of Edmonton as a tourist destination? A Fugly ass Mall??

The town of Banff just gets crappier every year but I'm sure the park is still great

Put me down as a huge fan of Osoyoos in the summer. Or Penticton.

Banff is really just a part of Calgary.

It's my favorite place in the country to, but you have to do us, to do them.

Are we like the fat friend?

Most people from outside Canada view it the exact opposite way. Calgary is simply the Banff International Airport.

Okanogan lake is awesome, but the town of Kelowna is just a steaming pile of bums, traffic, sprawl from hell and biker gangs.

It's like a small town that has all the negatives of a big city and none of the positives.
