Good news in Calgary Confederation!
Of course, the CPC candidate, Jeremy Nixon, was an objectively terrible UCP MLA who lost the provincial seat to the NDP in 2023. He just might be doing the Liberals a favour!

Door knocking for @coreyhogan.ca in Bridgeland yesterday near Normie Kwong Park with the wonderful @jvipondmd.bsky.social . I mentioned to Joe that Norman Kwong has the greatest coat of arms ever. See alt text for the full description. #confederationisworthfightingfor
Image of the heraldic arms of Norman Lim Kwong Blazon Barry Or and Vert on a bend Vert three footballs Or; Symbolism The shield represents a Canadian football field viewed from above with the 10 yard lines defined by the bands of green and gold. The colours are the team colours of the Edmonton Eskimos, the Canadian Football League team for which His Honour played and starred. The green band symbolizes a swift path across the field, while the three gold footballs refer to the speed of his advancing the play. Crest Blazon Issuant from a coronet Argent the upper rim set with flames proper, a demi-horse Argent winged Or holding a wild rose proper; Symbolism The white horse is a reference to the Calgary Stampeders, His Honour’s first football team. The wings refer to His Honour’s nickname, “the China Clipper”, earned from his energetic play, and derived from the airplane of the same name. The rose refers to Her Honour Mary Kwong, an avid gardener who has played a singular role in His Honour’s life as his loving wife and greatest companion. The white circlet with red flames symbolizes His Honour’s long involvement with, and ownership of, the Calgary Flames hockey team, the colours of which are the national colours red and white. Motto Blazon STRIVE TO EXCEL; Symbolism Not applicable Supporters Blazon Two Lim dragons (i.e., a Chinese dragon with the hindquarters of an Albertosaurus) per fess Or and Vert standing on a compartment tapissé of wheat Or set with wild roses proper; Symbolism The supporters are two mythical creatures which have been named “Lim dragons”, referring to the Lieutenant Governor’s Chinese heritage. They are made from the upper part of a Chinese dragon and the lower part of the Albertosaurus, a dinosaur named for the province. The grain fields represent one of the province’s important and historic sources of wealth, while the wild roses are the provincial floral emblem and refer to His Honour’s family.
