Fox Canada HQ Grand Opening
  The fine staff at Fox Canada threw a grand opening party at the brand new Canadian distribution center/head office located in Calgary, Alberta. Not only did they have a DJ pumping beats all night and free food/bevies for the guests, but also had the fine builders from Joyride 150 fly down and build them a small skate park for the party.

 I love how Canadians battle over which city sucks and which city is nicer, but if two Canadians met each other lets say in Europe for example it would be ' hey buddy! where you from? T-Dot, cool man! ' Canadians typically don't like Americans, so shouldn't we like each other?

I'd rather live in Vancouver than anywhere else in Canada but dont make fun of T-Dot. Blue Jays, the Hip, summers that are long and actually hot, they have winter, Maple Leafs.

Its a rad city so chill dudes...

 I had a LONG post typed out about patriotism, Toronto, Canada and how much the leafs suck....

but then I realized this article is about the Fox headquarters in Calgary and remembered I was on a bike site. Wink

 Overall I'd probably say yes to Vancouver over Whistler, since there is so much more to do in certain ways. Also the sacred village is 1 1/2 hrs away from DT.

 Whatever is comfortable! Why wear different shirts when you're just going to get them dirty and torn up.

 I'm gonna take a guess at why Calgary. Less provincial taxes, so bringing product over the border is cheaper. Cheaper to build or rent a facility then Vancouver. And/or still very central that you could potentially overnight a package to either coast. But I thought they already had one in Calgary.
