All the efforts Calgarians will have made by then with water conservation.... poof! gone within the first day of Stampede. It is very concerning.

So I should keep having 1 minute long showers and gathering grey water to reuse so the Stampede can go ahead without a care? Motivating people with being a good citizen and doing your part for the collective is pretty effective, not sure it’ll work if the messaging is do it so the party can go ahead

Okay well I'll use water as I please then. Clearly the city isn't serious

Yeah, I asked for examples not a synopsis.

None of those comments seem like leftists losing their mind.

Anyone who thought this would cause anything to change for the Stampede obviously hasn't lived in Calgary very long.

Leftist losing their mind = "wouldn't the Stampede use more water?"

Rightist losing their mind = "this is all a CONSPIRACY for 15 MINUTE CITIES"

It's the principle of the thing. Why should the grass get to drink when I can't?!?!?

Welcome to the information super highway. The future is now! Soon every home will integrate their television, phone, and computer. You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel, and learn about pandemics, supply chains, and water pipes on another. You can do your shopping at home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend from Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities!

The first one certainly is someone who has lost their mind. This isn’t a build up water inventory forever. It’s a week to week thing. There is a target we hit.

Also the second person is also missing the point collectively conserving water because the stampede is important for the city is supporting the collective.

The collective gets to enjoy stampede. Yes short showers are worth the city maintaining normalcy. The whole point is we sacrifice nothing so everything stays normal.

So while there political persuasion is not documented it’s not really difference than calling the WEFs right wing. Anti WEF started as a left wing conspiracy anyways.

Simple solution for the Stampede: truck in a bunch of water from the Bearspaw plant.

I haven’t changed anything but it sounds like I “bathe” significantly less than most so I am cumulatively better morally. Also not a fat pig who smells after two days.

There is/was actually a C-17 at YYC today... it could have been hauling pipe. Although, I'm sure we would have heard the RCAF bragging about its support for the crisis if that were the case.
