Anyone here ever been to Alberta, Canada?

LOL, Alberta, Canada. What a hell hole.* <3

It's funny how some have regarded Alberta as the Canadian Texas, with oil sands in Fort McMurray and Calgary deeply vested in the oil and gas sector, which both are now big boom towns.

For politics, Ralph Klein is seeing the end of his 14 years as premier for the province, and the race is on for several candidates to step into his shoes.
As I've sat my ass in this province for the better part of eight years, I've seen quite a bit of change in my city. I should take some pictures and let you enjoy. I also like how Banff is exactly one hour away from my house, given nominal traffic and road conditions. It's also funny how Banff and Jasper can be considered "mini-Nippon", so many Japanese tourists there it isn't funny.

I ever read anything mind-blowing about the place.

*It isn't mind blowing. At all. Maybe the prices of houses since the past few months might be wallet blowing. =/

Also, I am a traitor. I do not like the Flames.

The Americans like big things too. Sup Mall of America.

I recommend driving down the Sarcee Trail in Calgary

Shhhh....don't tell them that Sarcee Trail north and south DON'T connect. Oh snap~
Go on the Deerfoot Trail, LOL, PERFECTLY 100% SAFE. I GUARANTEE IT!

Thinking about it now, man we've got really fucked up names for our streets.

Consider:

NOSEHILL DRIVE
CROWCHILD TRAIL
SHAGANAPPI TRAIL (I like how this sign would be banned in the UK)
DEERFOOT TRAIL

Jam it back in, in the dark.

KIPPER/IGGY GONNA RAPE ME LOLOL.

This makes me wonder, has Qwarky ever met Mikka Kiprusoff? He could easily! QWARKY, TURKU GET>!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
