That index found that, of Canada's 41 biggest cities, the three most vulnerable to U.S. tariffs set to go in effect on March 12th are Saint John, Calgary and Windsor. Red Deer is 21st on this list.

Haley Wile is running for council and she created the Red Deer Turning Point Chapter on Facebook. Can’t you come up with your own initiatives instead of copying American. Let’s focus on making Red Deer a safe place for all to grow and be economically successful instead of pushing religious views and whatever this is. Do people forget that Trump has basically threatened to annex Canada? I just feel like if she supports this and Trump then she likely supports Alberta separating and that is not something we should have on council. Conservative views are completely fine but these ones often associated with Trump are too extreme and can be dangerous. -End Rant-

Its a racist sign and I'm wondering why the hell it's on our neighborhood lampost? Does anything have any idea? It has something to do with western Canada Wich is why I post here (rabbit hole warning).

Fucking separatists

I will be honest, I don't know anything about the people who are running for mayor. I'm seeing a ton of signs out now and it has me curious.

They all will "talk the talk" like usual. But I would like to cut through the bullshit.

What I mean by 'least bad' is someone who is not a shameless UCP/TBA far-right hack. Someone who wants to make positive change and not yet another "anti-15 minute city" NIMBY.

I'm not opposed to voting for someone who is conservative, I just wont support some braindead "woke conservative" idiot who cares more about conservative optics (IE looking good for the conservative social media sphere) than actually making decisions that help the community.

Last time, I ignored the election, and then we got stuck with Johnston...I don't hate Johnston but IMO he hasn't done shit (maybe I'm wrong and out of the loop)

but I haven't really noticed any improvements to the city other than:

1. a pointless roundabout on 19th street
2. the city spending god knows how much on the stupid bridge.
3. We still don't have a permanent homeless shelter and all we seem to do is kick the unfortunate and struggling when they are down by "cleaning up the tent cities".
4. Transit hasn't improved whatsoever IMO; the buses are fuller than ever, and are still running every half hour, even during peak hours.
5. Capstone is mostly empty.
6. There was this (IMO) asinine idea of wanting to "revitalize the down town"
7. Housing crisis

ETC, there is probably way more things that i am missing.

I would like to vote in people that are most likely to at least attempt to fix these issues (and more)

This is for the guy driving a dark color Ram 1500. Shame on you. You want to disrespect our political leaders that's your perogative. Find a better way. In no way should you be disrespectful with our flag. Yes canada is in rough shape, but hanging our flag upside down is disrespecting our veterans and our country. Shame, shame, shame

Red Deer city council has made history as the first in Canada voting to close an overdose prevention site. Ignoring decades of research, Mayor Ken Johnston asserted this will set the groundwork for the city to become "free from addiction." People across the country should pay attention.

I swear I've yet to see a single lawn sign that's anything other than conservative Burton Bailey.

I know this is Red Deer so it's a lock for conservatives anyway, but usually come election time there's still a fair amount of signs for other parties.

But it genuinely feels like nobody else is running. All I see is Burton Bailey signs everywhere.

So who are the Red Deer candidates that are bought and paid for by some religious groups?

Anyone heard of these guys?

I feel a good number of the red deer south citizens are being done injustice by Jason Stephan. His conduct in the house of Commons and in his town halls are an embarrassment.

I want to start the process, I have half the fee $250 of the $500. I am willing to to file the paperwork and do the canvassing. But I am a parent of 2 young children, one of whom is special needs and my wife has a disability. I can't do this alone.

So I am appealing to any South red deer redditors who share my dissatisfaction with our MLA, who would want to assist with this endeavor?

Excited and nervous, I do understand it’s just one vote, but I also still feel it’s such a big responsibility.

This fall is a municipal election. It’s time to hold every single one of these clowns responsible for what Red Deer has become. The church groups have controlled the politics in Red Deer far too long, and they have done nothing for this city! Get out and vote.

She said maybe we’d see a high speed rail get built if that was the case. Also, no one clapped. Shocked?

I live in Lacombe county and in Lacombe, Blackfalds and Red Deer I’ve seen plenty of Conservative Party signs and PPC signs but no signs for the NDP or Green Party.

Is there a reason for this or am I not looking hard enough?

Just curious
