Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas.

I'm from South Hesse, in Germany. Some of the most regarded German comedians (yes, they exist) are from around here and we have a pretty diverse culture, both traditionally German and from immigrants.

So, where do you live and how is it?

Any thoughts on the recent provincial elections?

There is curse. It goes "May you live in interesting times."

Sigh <- that's about my thoughts on it (as someone also in AB)

Edit: But also more of it was a lot closer than expected really in many ridings. Look closely at Calgary and there were some very very close races (ie, under 1000 votes)

Yeah, it was a pretty tight race from what I could see and hopefully that trajectory continues. Shame that the NDP didn't win.

Regardless how anyone feels about a specific party, I think that it is good that the election showed the ruling party needs to cater to voters more. Will they? Doubt it - I have a feeling the party (UCP) may eventually fracture, but it's a good thing for them to have some competition

I'll also mention that if the UCP fractures, my guess is a vote of confidence will be called and we'll be back to the polls and they'll be punished hard for it like last time
