gramie already mostly answered in line with what I'd say: there is an alt-right political shift there, where the lunatics are running the asylum and we keep expecting for sanity to re-emerge. Every country has a pocket like this somewhere. Most people in Calgary are perfectly nice, in the same way that most people in Omaha are perfectly nice, until a trans person is on TV.
The NDP just won 2/3 of last weeks byelections here. We do have a loud minority voice of right wing crazy but if anything the province is moving away from the right.
Wish you luck 🤞
I am involved in local governance here and its not fun under the UCP but its not the bleak right wing hellscape the rest of the nation says it is.
