I'm always going to be a big defender of the city, shortcomings and all. Now if someone had compared Calgary to lets say Laval, Markham, Niagara Falls.. or Kanata.. then I'd be more inclined to be insulted if I was a Calgarian.
Mississauga... "We're getting there"   |
It's incorporated as a city but that's about as far as its "cityness" goes. It's a suburb by any other function - one that just happens to have above-average employment figures because it's located around the airport. Mississauga would not exist as it does without Toronto.
