Job-mad Calgary lacks fun image

[fusili]

I have many concerns about Calgary in fact. The city is growing too fast. I work part time in the service industry and I know that service quality has decreased drastically over the last three years. We now pay a lot more for a lot less. Everywhere you go, stores and businesses are short staffed and everyone is under a lot of pressure and stress and are too busy. Yes Calgary is growing economically, but I feel that quality of life has decreased since the boom and I feel it will be hard to recover.

End Rant.

I doubt it. especially, if it was a Winnipeg thread, I rarely see any negative attacks about Winnipeg on here. Go to the Winnipeg /Saskatchewan section and see how many Calgarians are on there posting negative stuff. With Edmonton, there is that old rivalry that there, so I could see you're point about that, but that's just our friendly sports induced rivalry going on.

You have to remember feepa, you're the one that started this thread. How often do you see Calgary forumers posting a negative article about Edmonton? Some friendly advice, if you don't people jumping on you 'like white on rice' don't post negative articles about someone else's city.

fun is what you make it.

boring people are boring, do-nothing people in any city on earth.

Do you expect Calgarians to somehow owe people in Edmonton or Winnipeg something? For the most part they love their city, they aren't afraid to show it and don't give a shit about the fall out in other cities.

It pisses me off at times, but I respect and admire that hell out of that attitude.

You all play nice or else I'll call bylaw enforcement and tell them that there's a whole bunch of public urination going on here!
