Although it is true that I would find it difficult to live there (I was born and raised in Ottawa, spent MUCH time in Toronto so I know of what I speak), I do not want anything evil or bad to happen to it.

I feel the same way you do, only my major concern is the constant bickering between Edmonton and Calgary (the city where I reside). I can see the point if it's light-hearted and fun, which it is sometimes. But often it is serious and mean-spirited and, although Edmonton is not a city that I would choose to live, it is a nice town and I know many fantastic people who live there.

However, having said that, there is nothing preventing me from jabbing any municipality in the ribs if I think they deserve it.

So, really, I accept your rant as just that, but perhaps you should put it all into perspective. Peace.
