In other words if a place is more well-known and has more people in it than another place does that make that place better than a place that is less known and has less people in it ? And finally why does it feel emotionally frustrating as a person living in Edmonton constantly seeing the United States in culture and knowing that more people live in that place than they do in Edmonton ?
