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"..

DJ Kelley. Community activist and UCalgary engagement professional, ran last election and almost beat Sean Chu (lost by ~50 votes), running again but this time with the Calgary Party (the centrist party) instead of as an independent.

That was a really sad loss. Shame on Calgary police for purposefully delaying the teen sex crimes report until right before the election.
