And if the news about Chu emerged a week earlier, he would have been wiped out, advance ballots saved his hide. And of course, he won’t do the moral thing and resign. You have to be a Grade A ####-up to get Michelle Rempel to disavow you.
On the bright side, and with any luck, Brett Wilson’s head literally exploded last night.
Hoping the DST vote stays no, and who cares about the meaningless Senate and equalization results. Overall, a pretty big rebuke for the UCP from Calgary.
Off to find breakfast…does a dark roast pair well with crow?

Calgary is the mythical socially progressive fiscally conservative voter. Notley was punished for the first two years and at the federal level there just aren’t good options.
The reputation of Calgary in the rest of Canada and even in Calgary itself is wrong. People complain that CP leans left and isn’t representative. This election again shows that Calgary the city is progressive at they civic level.
