COMMENT OF THE DAY: Now them’s fightin’ words, pardner!

From: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/stampede-a-cant-miss-event-for-politicos-of-all-stripes/article4398881/?cmpid=rss1

The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is underway for the 100th time, and it seems the Eastern haters are out in full force…

OK, where do I begin?  Having grown up in Calgary before the current PM was in power, I can certainly recall the federal Liberals throwing big pancake breakfasts and what have you—nevermind that they haven’t held any seats in the Stampede City since Trudeau.  Speaking of which, Justin does not look good in cowboy duds!

Few Canadians are into chuck wagon races and cowboy hats!?  I’d say there’s a province of 3.6 million people that would prove you wrong…

Toronto’s “music and non-stop cultural parades” surely would outdraw the Stampede, since they’re pretty much year-round.  The Stampede brings millions of people into Cowtown over 10 days.  Not sure NXNE can top that.

Wait, did you actually suggest that the Winnipeg Folk Fest (which surely receives more than a cent of federal funding) could outdraw the Stampede!?  LMAO.  I saw somewhere that the Stampede brought in 1.25-milliion visitors over 10 days last year.  I don’t think Winnipeg has that many people visit in an entire year.  Pfft, shows what you know!

Happy Stampede, y’all! :)
