In response to "Your smugness fails you. The analog is valid. Going to Toronto and craving poutine is like going to New York and craving barbecue." by Mop

I expect you can get world class anything in New York.

(And also terrible anything). But my point is that territorialism is ridiculous when it comes to things like this. If yours is the best, people will recognize it. Calgary literally doesn't give a shit about other rodeos, since of which are even called Stampedes. They know they're the best at it and insecurity would just undermine that. Meanwhile, Quebec gets better know for introducing something to the world and embraced by the ROC. I reflect poutine has increased English Canada's opinion of Quebec by a huge degree in the last 20 years. I'm not even kidding- that's how these things work. Meanwhile, enough with the stupid Authenticity Police bullshit. It doesn't benefit anyone.
