I'd like to keep my hopes up. But communities that are based on where a person lives dont select for people of the same ideology or interests except for the fact that they are interested in the same place. So I expect these Calgary ones to eventually be similar.

In a community about a favourite game or hockey team or hobby, everyone is on the same side and has a lot in common and the topics are light. A city has far more complex issues than the average hobby and opinions vary wildly.

Let's watch and see.
