Description Oh yeah. For serious.

WARNING: THE ARTIST IS AN EDMONTONIAN. THIS MEANS THAT ANYTHING SHE SAYS ABOUT CALGARY SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS FACT WITHOUT EXTENSIVE RESEARCH. HER GENES AND UPBRINGING WILL NOT ALLOW ANY POSITIVE THINKING ABOUT THE SCUM HOLE THAT IS CALGARY- DAMN IT NOT AGAIN.

Actually neither my parents nor I were born in Edmonton. >_>
BUT IT'S STILL MY HOMETOWN. I GREW UP THERE AND I GO THERE MORE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ANYWAY. ALSO CALGARY FAILS AT LIFE I mean um ahem.

On the left is the glorious City of Edmonton. When it's one of the four months of the year that isn't winter, he wears a tie instead of a scarf because he's much more respectable than his younger and more obnoxious brother Calgary who also wears a tie but shut up he's less respectable. He also thinks Calgary is a wimp because his stupid chinooks help him cheat winter. And you can't cheat winter and be a respectable person. Oh, and Edmonton's hockey team used to be really really good back in the 80's. Honest.

For much more fun and exciting information on the personification of my awesometastic but very very cold and irritable hometown, visit the I Am Matthewian Cities Wiki: [link]

On the right is the not so amazing City of Calgary, which is actually not the capital of Alberta and never has been. He ALMOST was, which is why he's so jealous of Edmonton for stealing the role. Because he's so envious of our refined culture and lovely weather , he builds really obnoxious buildings and spends a lot of his dirty dirty oil moneys on himself (Not to say that Edmonton doesn't ) Because he overshadows pretty much all of Alberta with his obnoxiousness, tourists only seem to have nice things to say about him.
Did we mention he taught Stephen Harper everything he knew about true evil?
Here's his Cities Wiki too: [link] It's incomplete because I can only type so much unbiased stuff about Calgary.

I'm going to stop talking before a Calgarian hits me in the face.
Honestly, if you grew up in Edmonton you'd know we can't help taking shots at Calgary because we're obviously not as fun. You know you think of us as one giant wet-blanket-on-a-stick-in-the-mud.

Just wait until I start going to the U of A and have to start hating the U of Calgary too.

italic and bold on dA uses html, so you would use tags like this
< b > your text (no spaces) or with i or u instead of b for italic or underline. Icons use colons like : icon hapo57: for ;u; hope that helps

also if you are interested there is an updated version of this image here

Thanks, and yah, that really helps.Β 
I have this really weird image of Alberta in my head that includes the headcanon of being the physically strong of his siblings and always having a Great Horned Owl on his shoulder Β 
i'm really weird :icon hapo57:

Hapo57 In reply to BattleofTimHortons [2015-07-14 15:27:55 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, my headcanon is more along the lines of Alberta probably looking the most intimidating and strong, but he is actually a bit of a pushover compared to Saskatchewan and Manitoba (both who were actively involved in the Northwest and Red River Rebellions respectively while Alberta hid behind the NWMP and cried) xD He's constantly on the defensive and says "you wanna go? you wanna fight? let's take this outside!" and while he can hold his own some of the time it's really easy to knock him down xD

I'd like to see him with a great horned owl on his shoulder, that could either be really cool or really hilarious.

Did you know an Albertan was in the World Records for the most pushups on the back of his hands? Somewhere between the 1,240s I think. And there's my headcanonΒ

lol oh god, this is hilarious. I have to say though, I only recently found out about the rivalry (is an Edmontonian) which is kind of funny, since it seems to be a thing XD I guess what annoys me about Calgary is that... they're more well known? And they give Albertans the cowboy stereotype, but that one isn't too bad

Hapo57 In reply to LyyraMoonstone [2013-10-30 00:07:11 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, the rivalry is dying down (and hopefully it will die completely) because there seems to be a silent acknowledgement that we both suck at hockey.

OK I'm a native Calgarian that now lives in BC and i hear nothing but crap and derogatory phrases toward Calgary and Alberta in general so first BC STOP DA HATIN!!!! Calgary is a magnificent city, I'm *cringes* sure Edmonton (Deadmonton) is nice too but it has nothing on Calgary, I may be a little bias as well but what else can you say when you were born and raised there for 14 years
'kay now that my rant is done, I like this picture it's nice and I got a chuckle from it ^^ people need to do more of Calgary and Edmonton ... and Vancouver too I'd say ^^

No I'm kidding I'm kidding

Maybe when you guys stop making fun of Edmonton, we'll have a reason to stop making fun of you- *shot*
IT'S NOT FAIR THAT YOU CAN HAVE NICE THINGS AND WE CAN'T.

I think we can agree that we are both equally biased and we can meet in neutral Red Deer for Tim Hortons or something. X3

teehee I didn't know BC made fun of Calgary too... hahahahaha...

Well that's not my fault that we have money the province should distribute it equally, jus' sayin'

Yup we totally are biased toward each other TO RED DEER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh god you have no idea, if words could turn into actions Alberta would be decimated by all the comments from British Colombians >.< it's horrible. Yeah You up in Edmonton have a trump card, West Ed *rolls eyes* BC'ers don't hate you as much >.> but still hate Alberta for a reason i have yet to find out. They claim it's because we have mountains that's why, when I think it's perfectly divided along the great divide and makes logical sense I dunno they also claim we're bad drivers, which is true as a driver a have to agree there haha

Well, sometimes I get where they're coming from and I feel a bit embarrassed about Alberta sometimes (James Cameron coming up here and bringing all his media with him didn't help at all) especially because of our environmental FAIL (But Edmonton has the best recycling program in the country -cough cough cough-) but I still love this province... I just want to make it better.
Out in the country there's nothing but liquor stores and people are RIDICULOUSLY closed minded and I hate it sometimes... Things need to change. TT_TT
And the drivers here are horrible. XD; So far I've managed to avoid learning how hahahaha

yup the countrymen are soooo closed off even out here in the BC interior but things are turning around as generation X and Y are growing up us in generation Y are the most tolerant generation ever and I like that ^^
Yeah when I'm driving down the hwy to get to school and Albertan in a fancy sports car passed me speeding A LOT and then moves back into the lane and slows down, it pisses me off soo much >.<

Is Selkirk the obnoxious one or the angry jealous one in this relationship? XDD I've never heard of any rivalry with Selkirk.
Plus I thought Manitoba you guys were excluded from the vital-region-envy that the rest of Canada except maybe the Maritimes and at least two of the territories suffers from. XD

PFFFT noooo~ Selkirk's where we keep the crazies, y'know. Hell, the city's known for its insane asylums. [/yeah, they may not call them that any more, but really. We know what it really is.]

The reason there's not much city hate in Manitoba is because we have like.. two cities that actually qualify as cities- Winniepeg and Brandon, all others are so small they're more like towns, and any so called towns might as well be villages! XDD! On top of that, everything is too far away to make fun of!

The closest thing to rivalry in Manny would be the cities vs the reserves, unfortunately. >:
