I understand that
cocky may be deemed un-Canadian, but there are plenty of other
self-absorbed (possibily a bit insecure?) towns on the map. See epic, scrolling photo threads ;-)
As for 'it's unfair to put this down to newcomers/immigrants', it might be unfair to characterize my "it's hard to keep up" joke (that didn't land) this way.
Like my Calcutta-born Bengali Canadian father-in-law, who named his daughters Nova and Scotia, there are lots of Canadian realities with legit creds.
