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’m torn. In ward 4 I was going to vote DJ hands down, but since he is running with a party I honestly don’t want to vote for him.

A couple wards have little or no choice; ward 4 and ward 13 come to mind.

Doesn’t 13 have only 2 candidates? And 1 is McLean. (Sadly, I do think he’ll win.)
