A complete joke of a city in western Canada. Calgary is a oil boomtown that has basically no culture or history beyond the last 50 years and this is very obvious. The downtown is a soulless collection of glass towers that turns into a ghost town at 5pm when all the yuppies hop in their 3 series and high tail it back to the endless sprawl of cardboard McMansions that envelop the place. Calgary is also rife with homelessness, drug abuse and every other social problem you can think of. Calgarians have convinced themselves they live in some kind of world class city just because they have a Nordstrom now when in reality if it wasn't for Banff no one outside the prairies would have even heard of the place.

A Canadian patrol frigate based in CFB Esquimalt. Named after a kickass city, she is the only ship in the Canadian navy whose crew uniform varies from the regular uniform- the standard white cap is replaced with a white Stetson.

A nice city that is obsessed with Toronto. Been there for a week and I don't know what the big deal is. Boring, flat and average. Turned down a nice job because I love Toronto that much. Sorry Calgary, Toronto will always be the city where the best and the brightest go. You guys can have all the rejects from Quebec and Newfoundland.

The slum of Alberta. Home to alot of sluts and metrosexuals. Everyone there says Calgary should be capital of Alberta, but its already the mullet capital of Canada.
Edmonton- Worlds largest shopping mall and indoor amusment park
Calgary- Worlds larges mullet and smelliest indoor brothel

The second best city in Alberta. For the best, see Edmonton. Contrary to the popular belief of Calgarians, Edmonton deserves to be the capital.
Person 1: Let's go to Calgary
Person 2: Why? Edmonton is better. It has a better football team and the biggest mall in the world.
Person 1: You're right, dawg.

Located in the transition zone between the foothills of the Rockies and the prairies, Calgary is a dry, treeless city where the grass is never really green. Amazingly enough, this reflects Calgary's personality perfectly.
When I was at my cousin's house in the south of the city, I walked down the path that led away from his backyard and stood on the edge of the hill. Before me was a vast exapnse of brown covered in rows upon rows of cookie-cutter suburbs with no trees. Everything was so new, so spread out and so ugly. If one said the city had a soul, this would be it.
Edmonton is well on its way to becoming like this.

There is nothing to which to compare Calgary, at least not that I know of. Its lifelessness is one of a kind.
