Pollster's Alarm: Calgary's Civic Contract Crisis?
Pollster Frank Graves warns of a civic breakdown in Calgary. Is the city truly at risk?
The Twitter Tempest
Calgary's buzzing over a bold claim by Frank Graves, a seasoned pollster known for stirring the pot. His latest Substack post warns of a crumbling civic contract in Canada. But is the alarm justified?
Decoding the Alarm
Frank Graves, who gained notoriety by calling the last federal election for the Liberals, suggests societal turmoil is brewing. Yet, official sources don't back up a Calgary-specific crisis. Local bylaws and government frameworks remain intact, guiding civic engagement and public order.
Calgary's Resilient Backbone
Despite economic pressures like inflation and housing woes, Calgary's community spirit endures. Historical challenges have tested us, but no evidence suggests a full civic breakdown. Political polarization may strain consensus, but the city's governance structures hold firm.
The Takeaway
While Graves sounds the alarm, Calgary's roots in resilience and strong civic frameworks keep our society grounded.
