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 |
| re: .0
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!

province?
Just curious,

| Relieved.
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!
