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?

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
