If McIvor becomes mayor, it's not hard for someone like me to pick up and go. Especially not in this day and age.
And I agree with Bunk, I think your view on 'culture' in this city, given your post, is incredibly narrow and short-sighted.

Muta, let's say that McIver won and you chose not to move and instead chose to make Calgary a "better place", one that you would find acceptable to live in despite Blinky being mayor. How would you channel your energy and passion for culture into improving Calgary?
I am targeting you a bit, but I think its a problem that young people like yourself that have had many different cultural experiences and promote a worldview are so apt to just pick up and leave instead of taking action to shape their environment for the better.
You make another interesting point, though. I wonder how many Kerry supporters actually did move to Canada after Bush won his second term.
