Edmonton, Alberta is known for its Mild Summers and Often Cold Winters, in the same way Johannesburg is known for being 'Mildly Dangerous' and 'Often Quite Violent.' It is also know for its baffling Soviet-era architecture and, most importantly, for not being Calgary. It is the capital of the Albertan Third Reich, a one party, ultra right-wing fascist petro-state founded in 1971 by the National Socialist Progressive Conservative Albertan Workers' Party. The current mayor of Edmonton is Don Iveson, a former city councillor who is, ironically, a bike-riding hippie communist, and who notably won a landslide victory in October 2013 after bludgeoning his main opponents to death with his own genitalia.
