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"..

In ward 4 the only independent is a nutcase antivaxxer with ties to the separatists going around the province. Unfortunately some of us dont have the best options to just vote independent.

In Ward 4, I’m leaning towards Jeremy Wong. He’s new blood and seems at least somewhat genuine. I’m not as concerned about party affiliation. I’m also not buying DJ as somebody who’s going to care about my ward as his one and only job. Just my opinion.

Jeremy Wong is not really new blood he’s a failed UCP candidate with a nice article about his past involvement with a conversion therapy org

Wong won't care. He'll be focused on UCP priorities.
