Ch-ch-ch-changes

Reading in the Herald yesterday that the Stelmach (Conservative) government are at the lowest point in the polls in recent history (as in decades). They've suffered a 19 point drop in the polls in Calgary and area.

Stelmach is a backwater farmer from some small town in Northern Alberta. Calgary is a major city that's diverse and cosmopolitan. Steady Eddie as they call him....appears to have trouble recognizing that international cities are complex structures and the problems are not fixed by shaking a few hands or spending 10 bucks fixing something with duct tape. It's interesting to watch this dynasty cave in & while people will blame Stelmach, I personally don't. Cities are complex creatures & the government of Alberta doesn't understand such complexity.
