Actually, I think the rural cowboys and cowgirls are still intact. I think it's the urban cowboys and girls that require adjustment.
Speaking of which... in 1980 there were 2.2 million people in alberta. Roughly 510,000 people were rural. In 2015 there was over 4 million and only 600 thousand rural people. So in 35 years the urban centers have grown by almost 2 million people and the rural population has only increased by a little over 100,000.
My Dad loved listening to the singing cowboy. Good rules to live by. And the yodeling cowboys like Jimmy Rodgers.
