Ok, I'm sorry, that's just sad. It's just a list, it doesn't really mean anything and it's certainly no reason to belittle yourself by begging for recognition. Really though, if I had a choice of anywhere to live in the world, I'm not sure Calgary makes the top 10, even with family and friend connections.
Remember when they were ‘working’ with Google after Edmonton threw a fit that the city photo that was set in search was the power plant?

Sometimes I wonder if the World just spins Edmonton up for the lulz.

Say anything even remotely negative about Edmonton and they come back butthurt.

Yeah I am starting to think this list is just a big troll job to Edmonton.

First the ranking itself is based on livability so insecure Edmontonians are drawn to it. The citizens know their city would never be on a list ranking beauty or culture but since they enjoy living in Edmonton they think maybe just maybe we have made this list.

Secondly they fill the top of the list with all the great cities of the world including pretty much every large Canadian city except Edmonton. Then near the top of the list just a few hours down the highway is Calgary, top 4 in the world and best in Canada.

Finally, and here is the best part, they don't even put Edmonton on the list. It would have been easy and hilarious to have them just ahead of Port Moresby but this is better. Edmonton isn't even worth considering.
