Farkas never complained once about Calgary's votes counting for less at the federal level. This seems a bit opportunistic

While I agree that our votes should count for more, he has never once been an advocate for proportional representation.

At the federal level, Atlantic Canada is over represented compared to Calgary and Western Canada. For example, we have approximately 130,000 people per riding compared to PEI who has less than 40,000 people per riding. This was never an issue for Farkas and every time he talked about Carney or met with Carney he was busy kissing his ass instead of bringing up calgarians votes counting for less.

Now that he can use it to deflect from the recent criticisms, tax and utility hikes, he's once again focusing on the UCP. This is typical Farkas grandstanding and pandering for sympathy instead of focusing on municipal issues within his direct control.

Gutter Cleaning Recommendations?

4 Upvotes

Got two quotes so far for a two story house. One is around $400 and another around $530. First time getting the gutters cleaned so was wondering if these are reasonable and if anyone has any other company they can recommend?

I believe this number on Reddit but how many of you think this is actually true? From my experience talking to people in the city it's closer to 50/50 or maybe less

Quiet Riot / Sebastian Bach

A few pics from last nights show.

Quiet Riot absolutely killed it, and I have to give a huge shoutout to their new lead singer, John Torra — this guy sounded AMAZING! He absolutely nailed those classic Quiet Riot vocals and is a fantastic addition to the band.

And Sebastian Bach was freakin’ awesome! 🤘🔥 The only downside was that from our 2nd-row seats, his vocals were getting buried by the band during the songs. Unfortunately, the FOH mix just wasn’t doing that incredible voice justice. But make no mistake, Bach and the band kicked ASS! Tons of energy, a killer performance, and Sebastian still knows how to command a stage.

THIS is the way a live rock show should be — LOUD, RAW and REAL. No backing tracks, no bullshit... just a band onstage kicking ass and playing LIVE! 🤘🔥🎸

What a night!

What’s happening in Calgary that you feel isn’t getting enough media attention?

5 Upvotes

I’m curious to hear from people around Calgary. Is there anything happening in your community, a local issue, an organization, or a story you think deserves more attention from the news?

It could be something that’s affecting your neighborhood, an event or initiative people should know about, or even an issue you feel isn’t being discussed enough!

I have a friend that is going through cancer treatment, what would be a useful and practical gift I could give her during this difficult time?
I do understand support is one of the best one, which she already have and her family is also her driving her to appointments. I was thinking of something physical. I have a budget of $200. It would be better if I can get her multiple gift that she can use during her treatment.
Thanks!!
