LMAO! Just read through the comments from today. So Montrealer's are pissed about Calgary's "Our airport is busier than Montreal's" attitude? Uhmm, I'm pretty sure all that has been posted about it is something like "oh cool, our airport has higher ridership than YUL now, neat!" which was a comment echoed by many forumers on the airport thread, not just Calgarians. I feel like you guys just can't stand to have any city be better at anything than Montreal is. That's why you used to constantly pick on Toronto and its "inferior" urban realm on here, that's why you used to constantly pick on Vancouver for its small population and "inferior" transit, or whatever other bullshit could be conjured up in argument about how any city is less than. Now Calgary is the whipping boy even when not making any slights against the city of Montreal. Anything posted positively about Calgary has to be followed up by a negative comment by a Montrealer or Ottawan nowadays. The fact that none of us do that to you guys should pretty clearly spell out why we get defensive when you come out with that horse shit. Get over it, Calgary IS a young upstart that punches way above its weight in many aspect, we ARE growing way faster than most other major North American cities, and our presence on the national stage IS getting more pronounced. None of your negativity or constant hate towards the city is going to change that, so deal with it and move on like you did with Toronto and Vancouver. We're not going to stop posting. In fact, your constant hate towards my city is part of the reason I post so much positivity about it. You're feeding your own fire. Make your choice and hopefully realize that a compliment for Calgary doesn't = an insult for Montreal, it's just a compliment until you turn it into an argument about why that compliment shouldn't have been given to Calgary.
