Some interesting insight into the election here:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calga...2021-1.6168586
First up, current approval rates:
Current Mayor: 57%
Current Council: 40%
UCP: 34%
This gives some indication that a progressive / nenshi-like candidate should do well.
poll was in july
Issues of importance include (>40%):
Mask bylaw
reallocating police funding
water fluoridation
residential speed limits
green line
nhl arena
tough to say which way these go as they could be important positions for both pro and anti sides
