I am like Elizabeth, I don't know how people are affording this MASSIVE inflation and carbon taxes. They can't raise wages because that in turn raises costs to consumers and I'm afraid there is just not much more things can increase without putting a large portion of society into abject poverty. The Conservatives getting into power will do little to help simply because they need the revenue to service the astronomical interest on the debt load the Liberals have hoisted upon Canadians due to their lavish spending.

While several close races are headed for recounts, the overall results show that Calgarians were very tired of their incumbent Councillors.
Just four incumbents are returning to City Hall, and they include two right-leaning and two centrist Councillors.
Every left-leaning member of Council either didn’t run again, or has been soundly defeated - including Jyoti Gondek, who becomes the first incumbent Mayor to lose a re-election campaign in 45 years.
In the end, she didn’t even finish second - slumping to third with just 20%.
So, who was successful and what will Council look like for the next four years?
Let’s take a look at the top two place-getters in each race:
Mayor
In the Mayoral race, Jeromy Farkas (Independent) ...
