A grossly overrated, sad excuse for a city that is filled with soulless, greedy individuals who think they are the shit. A town of red neck racists and nerds who think they got it goin on but seriously lack any sense of culture or heritage. A town with no appreciation for little things like art...music...comedy or indviduality. Its filled with clones and white collar wannabes (male and female).The females are the worst kind...Fake, stuck up and money hungry. The dudes are mostly quasi-homosexuals who have no swagger whatsoever and rely completely on their leased Escalades to attract these wack bitches. Just a sad sight to see. Having lived and worked in both Calgary and Edmonton, I gotta go with Etown every time. I suppose its what your into really. Neither is particularly amazing, but Cowtown really just has NO heart. And for my money, I prefer to stay down the REAL people(Edmontonians) and stay far away from all the fakers and the haters(Calgarians).
Yeah, my favorite band is coming to Calgary, but I will definitley drive to Edmonton to go see them cuz atleast they know how to party up there!! This place WEEEEAAAAAKKKK!!!

An expensive city in the Praries. The women are superficial and think that you owe them the world. In general people are unfriendly and self centered. The transit system sucks, it's expensive and never on time. Driving sucks because the roads are in terrible condition and the genius city planners shut down multiple main routes for construction at the same time. There is nothing to do really, when you do venture to the outdoors they crowd people into small recreation areas or if you go to provincial or national parks the good trails are busy. I wouldn't reccomend moving to this dump. You will acquire debt and find it hard to escape.

Calgary sucks. It's a city of large hats, brother-sister love, stretchmarks, and small trophy cases. Calgarians only have one personality: hick. It is the fattest city in Alberta, and the 3rd fattest in western Canada. It is not nicknamed "Cowtown" for nothing.
Calgary Stampede sucks. When the horses go through the streets for their annual redneck parade they don't bother cleaning the shit up because it just blends in with the rest of the crap in Calgary.
Calgary sports fans suck. They have a massive inferiority complex towards their northern neighbors because they have almost triple the number of championships. They are more passionate about hating the Oilers than loving the Flames. Any mention of anything to do with Edmonton will produce apoplectic rage and gnashing of teeth. (well, "tooth". It's Calgary after all)
They all jumped on the Flames bandwagon in '04 and if the Flames continue to miss the playoffs they will all jump off with a resounding crash because they are fat.

The only thing Calgary has over Edmonton is a bigger downtown, too bad it's surrounded by a giant trailer park.
What do you call 30 Flames fans in a room together? A full set of teeth.
What do you call a hottie in Calgary? A tourist.
What's the difference between a bra and the Calgary Flames? (Come one, you all know the answer).

n. Etymologists are divided over whether it derives from the Latin word, calgarus, meaning "crass," or a blackfoot word, calgaree, meaning, "strange race in cowboy boots who guzzle thick black liquid from the ground ." In current colloquial usage it is slang for "second-best."

A tiny, insignificant part of Canada that suddenly (due to it's recent oil boom) thinks it is the most cosmopolitan, hip, flourishing place to be.
While it's true that there has been a lot of economic activity since the late 90's, there are other cold facts Calgarians don't like to brag about:
- population less than 1 million (that is a small city)
- conservative politics (need I mentiond Harper?)
- completely DEAD nightlife (Electric Avenue blows)
- no diversity in employment (either you sell real estate
or you are a redneck working on the oil rigs)
- only white people live there ... i.e. no authentic
cultural experiences like food, art, social diversity
Canada has 3 important cities: Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver. There rest are strictly peripheral.

Perhaps the City of Calgary should be called the Shitty of Calgary, or better yet, shittyofcalgary.com.
