| 528.1 | Calgary not a suburb of Edmonton | KAOFS::M_BOUCHER |  | Tue Dec 03 1991 10:04 | 6 | 
|  |     Calgary and Edmonton are two seperate cities in the province of
    Alberta.  Edmonton is about 250km (just a guess) north of Calgary.
    
    Yes, Calgary was the site of the 1988 Winter Olympics.

| 528.2 | 500 km would still be too close. | SWAM2::MCCARTHY_LA | Martians are stealing my underwear | Tue Dec 03 1991 13:11 | 9 |

    I, and all native Calgarians, are offended beyond words by the very
    idea! Ugh! Ick! Gaccckk!
    
    re: .1
    
    It's more like 300 km. Calgarians wish it were further. Horrible
    place. Ugh!

|  |     How do Calgarians feel about the Grand Canal circumscribing their
    province?
    
    Just curious,

    after the influx of the "car people" in the early- to
    mid-70's, the concept of "Fortress Alberta", surrounded by a
    station-wagon-proof moat holds powerful attractions.
    
    The only trick was to convince the Eastpeoples that the moat was their
    own idea, so that they would use their ill-begotten bazillions in
    provinicial transfer funds to build it. This seems to have worked out
    pretty well, as I understand that Eastpeoples now believe that they
    have taught the uppity Albertans a thing or two. 
    
    Hah! Foolish Eastpeoples!
