I'm not from Calgary, but I'd speculate that a lot of the decadence and degeneracy originates from the historic concentration of oil and gas wealth in the city with lots of corporate offices.

Calgary is a woke metropolis surrounded on all sides by based rural conservatives, sort of like Austin, Texas.

Calgary also went full police state shortly after the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa was broken up.

It didn't get as much publicity, but their woke mayor and municipal police went insane and full tyrant.

The locals kept protesting COVID restrictions every Saturday during the spring, so the mayor passed unconstitutional bylaws stating anyone would be arrested for shouting, using voice amplification or simply loitering in public parks, on sidewalks or at City Hall.

Calgary Police set up "honking" sting operations, pulling over and fining any passing vehicles that expressed support.

Antifa and countetprotestors showed up every weekend, with full police immunity of course.

Dozens of mounted and beat cops were dispatched every weekend to intimidate and harass lawful protesters.

Protesters were forced to organize marches to stay mobile because demonstrating staticly became illegal and public parks were deemed off limits.
