For example, I live on Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am an "Edmontonian". What do you call such a term? While you're at it, what city are you from and what are residents there called? Just curious. Thanks so much for any help you can offer. Grant Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Re: What Do They Call Us?
