well it's been around since 1886. Not a whole lot a history, but more than a lot of things around here...Texas really doesn't suck as bad as you think it does and like i said, I don' think canada sucks, but if i come it would be in the summer! and if you come to Texas in the fall or spring, the heat isn't bad...

The point was you suggested not coming to Alberta, when you've never actually been here yourself and don't know what you're missing.

I'd definitely rather come to Alberta than Texas, because there are lots of very similar things (people call us Texas North) except we've got a weaker dollar and the rocky mountains at the same time. Seems to be better bang-for-the-tourist buck.

quote: Originally posted by Asher And now compare the population of Calgary with the population of Texas. Considering Calgary only HAS 900,000 people, and there are NO suburbs (closest is many hours away), that's pretty good.

Now, what sort of sense does it make to compare the population of a city viz a state?

Edmonton is only 170 odd miles away - that's a mere two hour drive, Asher.

Anyway, the real statistic is unique visitors as opposed to total tickets sold, but I bet that there is no way to get that statistic for either of these fairs.

Btw, "We have a large cattle show" does not a tourist destination make.

Have you ever driven it?
It's more than two hours, it's about 1.5 hours to Sylvan Lake which is half way between the two.
Double that time if it's winter.

I'm not trolling. You're being a rude asshoIe, and I'm just wondering why? It's not like you have any personal stake in this - if I recall correctly, this thread was started so that someone could get some advice on traveling and all you have to add is:

"I spent two whole days seeing this one state from the highway, and since I'm a whiny, moody teenager and was mad at something/somebody, I decided not to enjoy myself and piss on everything that I see. Now I'm relating my experience."

Naw, I haven't been acting really acceptable, dm. But after reading 6 pages of venom I kinda had enough. All that Matt wanted was to know what he can do for a mere $1,500 and Asher turns it into a 6 page "I hate Texas because I spent two boring days there" fest.

Lord, I am just so glad that I'm not a teenager anymore. God, were we all this insufferable?
