Edmonton is its own worst enemy. We talk a big talk, but the actions and follow through are lacking.

I don't think Edmonton talks a big talk. Actually, as a recent-ish arrival, I think the way Edmontonians are constantly putting down Edmonton is off-putting on a personal level and works against its interests economically. Heck, even the Chamber of Commerce can't say much more than "Hey, At Least We're Affordable!"

Yeah the amount of people in this city who constantly go "oh why choose Edmonton, Edmonton sucks, Deadmonton" is ridiculously annoying. It has to take outsiders to say "your city isn't that bad" to get some of it to stop.

I agree 100% -- even when some become aware of their negative tone they keep on bashing or at best offer back-hand complements comparing Edmonton to how great other places are in alignment. "Off-putting" to put it mildly.

^^CN Tower conversion is actually happening?

These are the same people who complain but don’t vote.
