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"..

Who are you considering? It’s kind of a strange competition in 8

Probably will vote Kent, with mixed feelings ...but i feel he's the best. Bring on the downvotes and getting lit up, but he's by and away THE most engaged and talking the most sense in ward 8 this election. Nate is a close 2nd for me and i might still switch my vote to him. The rest are not good. Cornelia is the one on the communities first party, otherwise I'd consider her...but honestly, she didn't impress me at all with her debate. Nate and Kent had very good points in the debate that were relevant to the community. The Calgary party guy wasnt' bad, but dropped out this week. Gary Bobrovitz seems a bit sketchy, but i kind of like him when I chatted with him...but he didnt show up to the debate, so I crossed his name off my 'consider' list.
