Rats take over top spot on the local news...THIS is why I love Calgary!


I wonder what all of the World Skills visitors will think of Calgary when they leave here? Will they be impressed by Calgary's cleanliness? Its world famous hospitality? Its beautiful views? Maybe its feeling of safety? Perhaps all of the above?...

If I were a tourist here, I would likely get a chuckle out of the local news over the past few days. For a city of over 1,000,000 people, surely there would be some gritty news to report, tarnishing Calgary's image as a safe city? Apparently not!

Were there any Murders this week? Nope....
Any violent assaults reported? None...
Any gangland violence? Nada...

What made the top story on the news last night and FRONT PAGE headlines in Calgary?

Rats....

Well, it must have been a super slow news day, as this was THE story in our fine metropolis. I guess the fact that most Albertans have never seen a rat (given our "rat-free" status) makes this big, big news. Its just like when a new Dairy Queen opens in a small town...everybody talks about it. Too funny!

This is why I love this City....
