If CP loses something in discussion over the general society it's compassion and understanding for the lower earners. A little too "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and "things aren't as bad as people think if you just work hard and get yourself a good job and save and invest prudently" for my liking.
But it's expected when you get a wealthier user base. It's mostly white, privileged, and therefore educated and higher earning Calgarians. There's excellent perspective from them, but it's not wrong to say it's often biased or skewed, either. But still one that I appreciate without holding up as gospel like many here do.
Overall, it's nice to have this perspective as it's one I don't hear from much in the "real world", so it expands my world view, and it shows you that as much as wealthier people shouldn't look down on lower earners, the same can be said in the opposite direction.
