Why do some people on SW talk about the US as if it's the only country in the world?

SW isn't even a US site.

A lot of us suffer from Center of the Universe Syndrome though the US has hardly cornered the market on it.

@CountScrofula Lol.... I love Toronto. 😁

Ironically it’s where I was on 9/11.

@LyricalOne I actually kinda love Toronto as well, but being from Alberta the "Toronto is the centre of the universe" rule is strong. I met my wife in Toronto and lived there for a year. It's actually a pretty great city but don't tell my friends I said that.

@CountScrofula Ahhh..... gotcha. Never been to Alberta but would like to go. 🙂

@LyricalOne I likes it out here. I live in the north in the boreal forest and its all woodsy and lovely. Also going to Banff in a couple of weeks which is just a great time.

@LyricalOne @FrankietheFly A lot of cities in western Canada are named after regions in the UK. So Banff is both a town in Scotland and a mountain resort town in Alberta!

@CountScrofula Lol..... well I’m not too bright. I have been in Alberta because I’ve been in Banff! 🙄

@LyricalOne Hahaha it's right on the border so you're forgiven.

@CountScrofula Was there at a particularly busy time and no rooms were available so I drove on to Calgary and stayed near the Saddledome. 😁

@LyricalOne lol, okay you have no excuse 'cause Calgary is as Alberta as it gets, even though I'm an Edmonton boy.

@CountScrofula I appear to be Canadianally challenged. 😢
