It’s hilarious that after being snowed for 3 terms there are still calgarians who believe a word that comes out of that losers mouth.

From his last term as mayor, do what you will with that info. I don't think he'll poll as strong as Notley did.

But 11/26 Calgary ridings is already Orange in Calgary without Nenshi.

He can probably build on that. He'll need 12 seats swing will get him the province. Question is how likely he'll grab 12 out of those 15.

EDIT: NVM Calgary is way more Orange than I remembered.



Only 12 up for grabs and it's very unlikely he can grab all 12.

I'd bet if you overlay that map, with nenshis last approval rating, they would correlate strongly. Nenshi isn't moving the needle in the south or west.

holy shit, I forgot how close some of those ridings were in 2023

It could definitely go either way. UCP lost 11 seats / NDP gained 15 seats last election so it's not that big of margin. 5 of those blue ridings had margins of a few hundred seats so they aren't all that safe. UCP should still be favored to win but a new leader could put the NDP in the race again. Also depends how crazy Smith is leading into the election or if the UCP dump her for someone else.

And Nenshi's approval rating wasn't that bad. The 39% was a blip and rebounded shortly after. Plus the worse Gondek is it probably makes the nostalgia of Nenshi better for some.

That chart just seems to indicate that generally Calgarians disapprove of the Mayor over time - regardless of who is in office.

He got a crisis bump in 2020.

So plan for another "pandemic" next year.

Just for Alberta though.

Not if ol' Trump wins.

This appears to be real:



"Hey look! I'm like Melissa McCarthy in Identity Thief! Exactly what you're all looking for in a Leader."

[ExtraSlow]

It's not the least palatable leadership pitch.

Im starting see a lot of Min wage talk coming from the NDP. Maybe a promise of a big raise is on the way. Just like in 2015.

Oh good, I was worried inflation was too low.

Last Rachel increase was only 40% and now it only takes 12 min for me to get a simple fast food order, so everything is going great.
We should make min wage $26/hr because they poor pour all that money back into the economy. Liquid money, bros.

Can't wait for my wife's union to get her 29% pay increase and the huge signing bonuses to go with it.
