Calgary doesn't have a good location for that many people to watch I guess.

I have a friend who works at the City. I'm going to keep things totally vague so as not to jeopardize her position, but we were riding her hard in our group chat about this. She said Canada Day celebrations are overseen by a racism committee who are offended by everything. Their motivation to cancel the fireworks really did stem from their obsession with historical injustices.
