Hogtown West

Jeffrey Simpson of the Globe and Mail sums up the attitude of many Albertans towards our centre of the provincial universe.
Few tears, however, are being shed for Calgary elsewhere in Alberta. (Edmonton never sheds them.) Calgarians won't appreciate the comparison, but, in Alberta, their city is now regarded provincially as Toronto is nationally: fat, self-absorbed and whining, a kind of Hogtown West.
