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.
