Canmore population to double? Legal battle?

[Locke]

All of this nonsense sounds like Canmore wants to build a Wall and is going to demand that Calgary pay for it...

Are most of us born and raised Calgarians? I am. Don't know about you guys, but I've seen some changes around here. Lost biking trails, places we'd off-road, places we'd party when teens, seen the city frickin quadruple. But I don't know a single Calgarian who begrudges these changes or expects newcomers like Fuzz to bear any responsibility for these changes. We welcome people here because we're nice and know change is inevitable. Canmorites? Absolute idiots who are jerks AND think it's the fault of specific individuals that Canmore in 2026 is different from Canmore in 1994 and, oh boy, they're happy to tell you all about it while foaming at the mouth.

Lol, buncha tits.

You haven’t heard people in Marda Loop bitch about change. I swear they’re nostalgic about the vacuum cleaner store where the Shoppers is. They make exceptions for their new homes where bungalows used to be of course.

Well yeah. Long-time residents of community [X] liked things better in the past when there weren't so many people. News at 11.

It's always kind of funny when you read/hear this, and then go and check out the community population statistics to only find out the current population is LESS than "the good ol' days".

People ruin everything.

TBF, the population may be smaller due to ordinary residents selling their property. But the day to day population, esp. on the weekends, is probably bigger. If their residential population is 75% of what it was, but there are condo complexes owned 95% by Calgary residents, there are probably way more people there.

Sorry, some confusion here. I was replying to the comments about Calgarians complaining about Calgary being bigger now. Not Canmore. We got sidetracked...

The Pass has about 7000 full time residents, and 2400 part time residents. Over 25%.

Do you guys hunt the part timers? Or use traps? Or both?

The majority think we are headed into the ####ter.

A friend had her dog poisoned. I suspect the coal mafia.
