Anybody visiting Calgary....

....in true Canadian fashion, I would like to apologize in advance for the trauma that's surely going to happen once you see our overly aggressive looking police cars and vans.

Hard to believe that folks here in Calgary feel the need to bring it up on social media:

Apology accepted.

The only trauma police cars give me is when they are behind me with their lights flashing. The color of the car is irrelevant.

One guy was traumatized by seeing flashing lights behind him. His wife ran off with a police officer and he thought the officer was bringing her back when he saw the lights.

To some speeders it may be truly traumatizing to realize the coppers have smarter and faster cars than themselves. Perhaps the Canadians could do a study trip to Dubai to learn about PR both to bring the focus over to how awesome their coppers are and bring the numbers of Canadian Smokeys and Bandits down.

Calgary is one of the cities I'm going to visit if I win big time in Eurojackpot and it's not for the city itself but to see my favorite NHL team play.

Well, if it ever happens, be sure to check out the Highwood Pass in Kananaskis. Fantastic scenery plus it's the highest paved pass in Canada at 2,206 meters. It's absolutely astonishing to me how many people I've met who have lived here all/most of their lives and have never even heard of it. Plus you pass through the small town of Longview on the way that has one of the best top-rated steakhouses in Alberta. The only negative reviews are because of it's somewhat limited hours:

Calgary is great, visited a few times, although I always try to sneak in a visit to Banff/Lake Louise/Sunshine village for some of the best skiing in the world!
