We won two consecutive editions of the bowl’s worldcup. Never checked whether that was true or not (there’s no place to play bowls in my small ~5000 people village, apparently our team practices in another town) but we had this giant banner on our most trafficked road proudly announcing it

My hometown is famous for having a midget village. The rumors are false because I actually grew up in the exact neighborhood the rumors were about. I’m not a midget (6’6"). Neither is Geraldo Rivera who moved there in the 90s.

We’re the hate crime capital of Canada, and simultaneously the “silicon valley of the north”.

Could make for a great cyberpunk city

From a tech perspective, we have the alma mater of Bjarne Stroustrup of C++ fame, and Ivan Damgård of Merkle-Damgård fame.

Probably for having a big fucking tower that looks like Barad-Dur. And another one that’s a big fucking brick cellphone. Also recently because of a black dog that became a symbol for resistance and revolution.
