I feel you are correct......

Well usually people head to work in the morning. Don’t care if it’s dark.

When off work enjoy some time with sunlight. At least 1 hr more.

So if the vote happens this way?

Will we change the time in November?

Time change or not it won't matter much in the Summer and Winter - Summer time it's getting light at 3:30 and does not get dark until midnight, winter it's dark from 4:30pm to 8:30am so one hour either way really makes no difference. it's the spring & fall that it will ne noticed more - I honestly could not care either way- changing the time twice a year gives me a nice easy weekly safety topic to send out but on the down side statistically speaking accidents (of all kinds) are way more likely the few days following a time change.

Up here in the forgotten part of BC (Northeast), also known as Alberta's redheaded stepchild, we haven't changed time since 1970 when a referendum passed that keeps us on Mountain Standard Time. I prefer this to the switching back and forth that we did prior to. You would think that switching time twice a year would be simple, but it's not because unfortunately there are people who are simple :unsure:

Well I did vote early, I gotta say never really thought the time change thing was such a big deal,,,
To me honestly it was the least important question on the ballot,,, All other choices it can be stated are equally important ,,, Long term school curriculum,,,,,,equalization obvious,,, Mayor yes and no in that everyone below him need be "like minded,,
I did go through all the candidates website platforms tried to read between the lines,
Suffice it to say anyone harping on climate, green, inclusivity or whatever other "tender left terminology" there is did not get my vote,,,
I made a list to bring ,,,,,, ( no second guessing besides I'm terrible with names). Only took 30 seconds to fill ballots out,,,, A
So I feel in a lot of ways "political orientation" of the various candidates at every level is important, ,,,
At some point I'm sure municipal politicians/staff have to work with provincial politicians/staff on various issues,,,,

What result of the Alberta referendum? Nothing anywhere on the media? Yet we know who won the elections? Something at play here.
They said before the election they wouldn't have the senator and referendum question results till some time after the election was over. Nothing to see here folks.

brutal:

“Jyoti Gondek announced this morning, in an interview with Ryan Jespersen, that her top priority, and first-order-of-business as Mayor will be declaring a Climate Emergency.

She said that Calgary needs to "move past" oil and gas

Yup....... Nenshi is out and his sister took over. Sure like to know how she'll heat her house this winter and get to work?

And this was the morning vote count Calgary for equalization, seriously who votes in favour of wanting to send more money to Quebec when albertans current pay $1 tax vs Quebec at $0.65 on the same income.
