And you'll see how well tribalism holds up when the city's back is against the wall, funds are misappropriated, corruption runs abounds, projects don't get done, Council bends over to a libertarian authoritarian Premier, and things start to fall apart for city services and financial operations based on ideology and misplace priorities.
Heck, look at the convoy clowns - they're all eating each other amidst the chaos of money management, criminal trials, and dedication to the cause.

Call me a pessimist, but the modern conservative movement has become so good at deflecting, misinformation, rage framing, fuelling conspiracies, etc. that many voters would gladly sign up for more, even when it is against their own self interest. I expect no different at the municipal level. It'll be easy to blame Nenshi, Bronconnier, Trudeau, Notley, or any other "leftist" because after all, many aren't voting on issues, they view it as a team sport.
