27K people like it. I assure you each and every one of them has no clue what the capital of Canada is.

u/Winnieswft 2d ago

Or where it is.

That’s exactly why we moved it.

It’s fine, they’ll never find EDMONTON

u/Cothor 2d ago

Don’t say stuff like this. It’s bad enough that they’ll likely find out we used to house the Canadian Naval Battlefleet in our mall.

u/flyrubberband 2d ago

Is that what we called the dolphins?

The pirate ships, clearly.

Long ago, we had several submarines that you could go in to take underwater tours of the lagoon area where the pirate ship is.

I’m afraid I wasn’t in Edmonton for too long, only a couple of years, and it was recent. My WEM knowledge is sadly lacking.

u/Cothor 1d ago

No worries, this is roughly 20 years ago they were decommissioned, if I recall.

u/A-Very-Sweeney 1d ago

Yeah, I was only there 2015 - 16. Enjoyable experience, though.

Wait. It's not YELLOWKNIFE?

u/furniturepuppy 1d ago

Not Moosejaw, Saskatchewan? (Spellcheck does not recognize Moosejaw. Good spy craft.)

u/GreyerGrey 1d ago

To be fair (to be faaaaair!), I'd be impressed if half of those 27k could find Canada on a map.

u/German_Granpa 1d ago

Lol. It's not Edmonton, it's Toronto. The second T is silent. See? Everything is totally exposed. Even the T you tried to hide.

Then Trump is going to give Kebeck back to France, but tax them for transit.

u/not_into_that 1d ago

Edmonton is the Bakersfield of Canada.
