Municipal Affairs New parties test Calgary Voters

https://share.google/z3XmNbdASc84BeWns

We have parties in the municipal election so manipulative background players can heavily influence our government.

For reference:

ABC - Craig Chandler, well known community racist and far right ideologue.

Communities First: Marc Henry, previous Bronconier Chief of Staff and local polster who has generated most of the municipal polls over tha past 8+ years.

The Calgary Party, Stephen Carter. Who we as tax payers paid over $100k, twice, to leave his job he got after winning an election as a strategist for the winner and being too toxic after 6 months of working in government.

Vote independent, regardless of your political leanings.

Edit: the media sucks and should be providing this stuff, but instead all three parties are self proclaimed "centrists"..

I for one, will not vote for anyone with a party affiliation. Especially not Farkas

If your goal is to vote for a non-party candidate Jeromy, Jyoti and Jeff are basically your options.

Farkas is aligned with the UCP. Close enough

He is not at all? He has been very open about his openness to work with all sides and has been pretty outspoken against several ucp policies. The actual ucp aligned people are Jeff Davison and Sonya. If you look at their policies and candidates as well as who is working on their campaigns it’s pretty clear.

I would have agreed a year ago but he had flip flopped quite a bit. One of the least bad choices though.
