<p>The Calgary Journal serves up a dinner-themed survey where our city council hopefuls give us their politics with a side of sass. They’re primped and primmed — or are they? Have they chosen an upscale French bistro or are they kicking back at their&nbsp;favourite&nbsp;burger joint? What do they do when they learn their friend is double-dipping? And do they report their friend who confesses to renting an illegal suite? More than 60 hopefuls responded to our survey, which was co-produced with the Calgary Herald and the Calgary Sun.</p>
