The race in Calgary will be one the whole country will be watching
Why is Calgary the central battleground in next month’s Alberta election? Because the city is now the home of political diversity in the province – at least when it comes to provincial politics.
Even if some of the attention to green energy is performative – as is the case everywhere – some of it is not. There is widespread recognition that emissions matter. Alberta’s biggest industry, and the bread-and-butter of Calgary’s corporate world, is in the midst of a series of massive changes. I used to point to Rachel Notley and Naheed Nenshi as evidence that the province’s political change is driven from within. They were homegrown leaders who were changing assumptions that the province was a monolith of conservatism. Alberta progressive politics has often been thwarted, but it has been in ascendancy these past 10 years or so.particularly when I saw the debates over the Sovereignty Act play out.
In 2021, about one-third of Calgary’s population was made up of immigrants . Together, first- and second-generation immigrants represented six out of 10 residents, a majority.
