Do you think these more transient PR's are more likely to vote than current citizens? Because if only 46.8% of eligible Calgarians could be bothered to vote in the last election I'm really curious what portion of PR's who give an insufficient amount of #### about this city will turnout...

I recognize the words Purple and Nenshi.

Can the next topic on here or in the provincial politics thread or in the Federal politics thread or in the US politics thread have discussion and debate free of baseless racism claims and character assassinatons?

You said the current line in the sand is the bellwether of democracy. I'm sure some other cowboy said the same thing in early 1960. Before Indigenous Canadians could vote [without losing their treaty status]. But current line in the sand = perfect...the base principle was absolutely infallible and we have only had to iron out some really really minor kinks and we definitely got all of them so of course it is ludicrous to consider it further

If you took that as a personal insinuation of racism I don't know what to tell you
