Calgary, Alberta.
The people used to be friendly. Now they just want your money. The last few times I was there I found Calgary to be intolerant, arrogant, overly commercial, phoney, and backwards.

....could you elaborate on the intolerant and arrogant experiences.....what happend to you while in Calgary?......you been to Edmonton? You ever been to America?

.....anyways I have been all over Canada...I find Toronto people to be the most rude.....Vancouver was probably the most beautiful in the summer.....Winnipeg and Edmonton came off as the most crime infested and "dirty cities". I think this is because of the large native populations and the drug problems.... but I'd still prefer Edmonton over Winnipeg becuase it is much larger and seems more lively and business oriented. Just my take on things.

Because of the native populations, Hanky? Racist fecker, ain't ya?

I've been all over Canada and to a few of the states. If you thought the Winnipeg was dirty and crime-infested, then you obviously didn't take the time to look around. What am I saying? You've already shown that you've never been here by your bizarre claims about the airport.

...nope not at all.....its simply the truth though.....would you want your daughter walking around in a native part of the city after dark?........it obvious Rev and I'm not saying that there isen't an underlying reason for native crime but quit being so politically correct...what are you jack layntons pecker... :roll:

...well I have been to just about every major city in the US and pretty much all of Canada except for the maritimes and Quebec.....and yes Winnipeg is a dirty crime infested city by Canadian standards..are you really gonna argue that....last time I actually visited the city was 97 or 98...and it did not feel like a safe city.....only Edmonton had comparable filth...maybe Regina. Now obviously Winnipeg is nothing compared to Detroit or Chicago but thats why I said Canadian STandards!

....I also heard that Winnipeg and it's crime rate is rising...wasen't last year a record year for homicides and isen't the PEG the homicide capital of Canada? hmmmm think bout it my funny friend

Yes, totally.

No, actually it isn't.

would you want your daughter walking around in a native part of the city after dark?

Why not? I do.

I'm not being politically correct. I'm saying that you are a racist piece of crap.

Of course you would be, considering your arrogant self-entitlement and foolish habit of blaming everybody else for your many, many problems.

Pre tell, just what is a native going to do to my daughter that some white fecker isn't also thinking, or some black or hispanic, or asian? Violence against women isn't based on skin colour of the perpetrator. Unless your talking Serial Rapist/killers in which case 99% are white.

....that is just complete bull... I have been to many cities with that problem....one of them is Saskatoon. The WEST SIDE as its dubbed is the part of the city holding most of the native population....now walking around this area at nighttime is very dangerous..and if you would like your child to be walking around in an area like this then you are not fit to be a parent.

....geez I know its not a popular subject but if you can't admit that aborigional people overwhelmingly are involved in crimes ...well then there is no point in discussing the issue because you will just ignore the facts.

if they are invovled in more crimes then the average for white people it is probably because they are poor. Poor marginalized people tend to be more prone to crime then others. And the native population is more marginalized then just about any other population. It has nothing to do with them being native, the same things go on in poor white neighbourhoods and poor hispanic neighbourhoods.

Hank, I grew up around natives and still count many as my friends. That includes in Saskatoon. You know that Stonechild kid the Saskatoon cops murdered a while back? I was named after his uncle, who happens to be fairly prominent lawyer.

I find your racist bullshit highly disturbing, not to mention ignorant, self-serving, and lazy.

Got proof? But remember that if they're not full blooded natives the stat doesn't count.

When I lived up north, my mom put a pan of hot water outside on the front step, and it froze so quick, the ice was still warm :wink:

I'd better tell my native friends that they're "overwhelmingly involved in crime." Hey, maybe Hank can come and visit and tell them himself. I can just imagine that conversation.

Hank: You are a native and therefore overwhelmingly involved in crime.

Brian: Oh, sorry...didn't mean to permanently disable you.

Blair: Did you need a ride to the hospital, Hank? You can check out our short waiting times.

good one juan. !!! :)



( Hanky's words and prejudice is very disturbing. But given the fact he is FROM the US....... that might explain things. Maybe he just transfered his prejudice from whatever/whoever color in the US to the First Nations of Canada. ( seems the US killed off THEIR "First nations" ....... so they had to substitute)

Hank ...you know not what you talk of. When I was a lad delivering pizza in the North End of Wpg.( That also included the airport area.) The North End has always had a large aboriginal population base. Its a rough area, I won't deny that. But your wrong about your perception.

One night at about 2:30 in the morning...our restaurant being the last business open on Selkirk Ave. Four guys came into the restaurant. Three native and one white. The white guy had obviously had the crap kicked out of him. Two of the natives were supporting him, the other opened the door so they could get inside. They asked if we would call 911.

They related they found this guy on the sidewalk. They carried him to a phone so that he could get help. The white guy said that he had been jumped by two white guys and robbed.

Hank, it is your narrow perception of the world that prevents you from really seeing. You may be well travelled, but you're not observant.

your taking it like everyone else and attacking me....I said before that there is an underlying reason for native crime and it has to do with poverty....

There are many fine native people out there that are trying to get ahead and work.....and from your experience it just proves there are many good aborigional people.

...if you read all my statements I was talking about the native part of the city usually being unsafe as is the case in Winnipeg and Edmonton....I have been there and observed many things and there are always nice people....but you can't over look the fact that the native part of town is usually the worst area for crime and homicides..... thats all I was trying to say....

Rev was trying to prove that winnipeg was not one of the most dangerous cities in Canada....which it obviously is...

This is what you said. They are no more involve in crime than any other race. I agree poverty is the driving issue in crime. that's not racial either poverty can affect all races.

Another problem is a cultural difference. For instance...there is a river, a tribe or individual will make a canoe. One person will take the canoe across the river.They leave the canoe there and go off and do what they have to do. Someone else comes along ..takes the canoe back across to the other side of the river. They go off and do what they have to do. Someone else comes along and takes the canoe back across the river and sees the the first person waiting to cross the river. While he is waiting he is fashioning another canoe. It is a matter of community use. This has been going on for centuries.

Now take this cultural difference and apply it to an automobile. You have natives coming off the reserve and into cities. Your coming from a place where an accepted societal norm is suddenly a crime. That is going to skew your stats a bit. Of course you will have higher crime rate stats for aboriginals.

Your attitude is exactly what causes problems. The absolute unwillingness to look at what causes a problem in society. You have to look at other ways of viewing people...rather than labelling them one way or the other. You've got part of it ....poverty, but that is not indicitive of any particular race.

As for Winnipeg being unsafe...Pfffft.That doesn't jibe with any crime stats I've read.
