Something seems wrong here...

huh

I was at the City airport dropping off my sister Wednesday, when I saw this. Something struck me as strange about it.
Maybe it's the raw stereotypes... not only of the usual victims such as India, England, etc., but the fact that the first thing people see when they come to this city is a billboard telling them we're all white, beer-guzzling, not-too-bright men.
Huh.

Well... I fit one of the criteria (the beer-guzzling one, of course! (Kidding!)), but other than that, it's "sadly" a myth!

All them Cowboys down there in Cowtown! I would hate that stereotype... when we were down east this spring every time we said we were from Alberta people would assume we were from Calgary (thank you national news :P)
We got a bit of that cowboy nonsense... it must get annoying

That was certainly the understatement of the year on my part :P
