CALGARY — Michael’s has the best pizza in Canada. One of the best places to talk politics, too.

That’s why we me and my two Calgary high school buddies were there. The pizza is amazing, and the conversation is pretty good, too.

After Flames games, you’ll see lots of NHL players here. Signed hockey sticks and jerseys adorn the walls.

One of my friends is an engineer in the oil patch. Owns his firm. The other friend is a lawyer, and he works for a big construction and engineering company just outside of Calgary. It’s just before Election Day, and we get to debating Alberta politics.

Talking to my buddies, and talking to just about anyone else in Calgary, here’s what you get:

— They all respected Rachel Notley but disliked her party.

— They didn’t really like Jason Kenney but figured they’d vote for his party.

— They thought the rest of Canada didn’t give a damn about them.

— They deeply hated Justin Trudeau.
