They're probably going to erect statues of that guy after he passes, if not in Calgary than at least maybe in Saskatoon or even Regina. Stu ran Stampede almost as long as my grandfather ran cattle. That was broadcasted nationwide for decades.
Yes, he's fairly popular. There's even a famous picture of him floating around online posing in front of a lake in Banff that's been joked about maybe appearing on our national currency. I wouldn't doubt at all that happening one day.
