Someone from NB definitely not the same as someone from NF. That would be on par with confusing you with the actual Napoleon.

Your brief response comes off as quite curt btw.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

It's actually not. Only 0.36% or 1,885 of 514,536 Newfies (and Labradorians) reported French as their mother tongue. Whereas 32.61% of New Brunswickers reported French as their mother tongue.

Well, my Maritimes knowledge isn't quite on par with my knowledge of good 'ol Alberta. It's a shame i had to re-spawn here.

I am a born and raised Calgarian, but have shared a french last name with my grandfather who moved out west from NB when he was in his 20's a long time ago. I also speak with people across Canada every day, so, I definitely know the difference between a Newfie and an NBer.

Anyways, I named my team Calgary Spitfires due to, 1) "Fire", similar to Flames, Calgary's beloved Hockey Team. 2) A Spitfire is a british WWII plane, the single seat aircraft was the latest and greatest of combat aircraft technology during World War II. Calgary and Alberta as a whole held a pretty big military presence during WWII and has a pretty big history as far as training/housing Canadian Military during the early 20th century. Kinda rolls off the tongue.

I guess my Napoleon's complex is coming through. I had no intention to offend anybody. I apologize if I did.

Anyways, now that you have come forward as a Flames fan, my hostility towards you will increase.

Quote from probably everyone at Edmonton


Just so you know at this point everyone not in Edmonton laughed hard them immediately stopped caring. No offence and as someone who has no ties in Canada, Edmonton is a dump. I have travelled to 20+ countries and visited 100's of cities and I can honestly say Edmonton is the worst.

Beanz Odyssey. Well Beanz is my dogs name and Odyssey means a long and eventful journey, so they go together very well.

Well not going to disagree there, Edmonton is a dump (not as bad as saskatoon though).

Also, I was commenting on the teams (NHL, its a sports league; others than the NBA exist you know?). It had nothing to do with the city.

On a related note, what kind of dog do you have?
