Edmonton needs to shape up, show some respect for itself, and create a friendly welcoming city.
I think your cutting Edmonton short...I think it "deserves" it as much as any other Canadian city. Before Expo '86, I recall Vancouver was just that city on the coast (EDIT: not saying that Expo was the only reason it for it becoming a "world-known" city...but, definitely helped)...and as mentioned, some of the resulting projects that resulted were transforming for the city. Same might be said about Calgary before the Olympics.

I think Edmonton (or Calgary...or Ottawa) are easily ready.
