Obhrai was, in fact, the first real 905-style ‘ethnic’ Reformer in Alberta in 1997 (while also of colour, Rahim Jaffer's scarcely ‘905-style’--and there was also Gurmant Grewal in BC). Ethnicity aside, Calgary East is a little like Edmonton East in being relatively non-affluent and, were Calgary more like Edmonton, a suitable target for either Liberal or NDP. But Calgary's not more like Edmonton.

There is more to the story here then just ‘Alberta+CPC=Win’. Remember that Obhrai was one of the few ‘ethnic’ MP’s the Alliance had. The reason for that is not what you’d expect. I’ve found anecdotal evidence that many right-wing immigrants pack their bags and leave for Calgary. The immigrant community here is naturally inclined to support the CPC. Despite all of that, it IS true, that Alberta+CPC=Win. And hence, this riding will go Tory once more.

This is the City of Calgary. No chance of Grits winning here. Tories win; end of story.
