I don't see how when you are in an urban riding, in a city that has many ridings, that people think they will be punished for not voting with the government. I highly doubt the whole city will get punished for one riding voting Liberal or Green, especially when the PM is from the city and several ministers. It is not like being in a vast rural riding where you are looking for federal funding, if federal funding happens in Calgary West as opposed to Calgary Centre it still benefits the whole city.
Calgary and Alberta will likely get more attention if there was more competition. Some Conservative MPs barely campaign during elections because it's a waste of time and other parties just forget the province.
