How do you identify? Are you a Canadian first? Or a British Columbian, a Saskatchewinan, a Caper, Ontarian, or a Newfie?

Hrrmm...first time I've heard of Czar being referred to as "the big arse city". Last time I looked, Calgary was generally NW from Suffield. Albertan indeed!PrairieThunder said:I always identify as a Calgarian/Albertan. I've only had to explain to a handful of foreigners where those are, one of which was a Queen's Royal Lancer that exclaimed: "But you don't sound Scottish." (He had forgotten about the big arse city located 3hrs north of BATUS).
