Dalhousie sends Michelle Rempel Garner (Conservative Party of Canada) to the Commons from Calgary Nose Hill
From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Dalhousie is in. Dalhousie is a Calgary neighbourhood, so city council decides its local matters.
Three governments, and who does what
Dalhousie is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
