So, the video aired without this information, sadly, but this is a reversal. And the press release confirms it here:

Elections Calgary didn’t respond to my queries Wednesday or again earlier today — but tonight a press release:
October 25, 2025 at 2:39 AM
Calgary’s returning officer was clear: a recount would only involve polls that fell within a close-race threshold. But the province said that a recount should involve votes cast in the mayoral race city-wide
October 25, 2025 at 2:39 AM
There was a confusing element here: how a recount of the mayor’s race might play out under new legislation that allows close-race candidates to request a recount. be done for all mayor votes.

My partner’s top complaint this election — he wants a ranked vote!
October 21, 2025 at 2:56 PM
I just finished and yup took way longer to process electors than actually cast ballot. Sometimes the voting booths only had 1 person casting at a time 🫠

Unironically asked my partner who is stressed about this game and he says there is no such thing — and then said good joke — I had to give you the props tho

Also tho a similar thing happened this summer too in Calgary? Not with the kidnapping but the catch a predator

Public safety rebrand!

Keep your eyes peeled!

But unless the rat multiplies (miraculous conception?) I can’t see it being a huge worry — what’s there to stress about?

Rat reports increase in the summer. For this one they assume this rat hitched a ride from BC (someone vacationing) typically when this happens the rats are dead on arrival (assumed dehydration, hunger). Maybe the rain meant more water to survive?
