So the answer, IMO, is yes. Calgary is a racist city compared to Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Compared to anywhere in the bible belt, many parts of the southern US and the US midwest, Calgary is either a progressive city or about normal.
We should definitely emulate the Quebec model of progressiveness. I'll get the storefront signs, you get the immigrants.
