Calgary 
Events Description
This November at Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History, Mount Royal University professor Kirk Niergarth considers Canada’s ‘democracy’ from the country’s inception to present day. From New Brunswick’s first election in 1785 to Alberta’s recent referendum, Kirk will explore episodes illustrating the struggles for and limits imposed upon democracy in Canada.
One hundred years ago, Calgary was the site of Alberta’s first successful recall petition, and a special election fought over public provision of textbooks in schools. Looking backwards, were Calgarians more committed to democracy in 1926 than we are today?
