I was thinking of including it in my post, but I really don't know too much about this organization. There seems to be a lot of people that do not trust 1CalgaryCentre. Then again, those are people that support candidates that are not likely to get their endorsement.

Thanks for that and the feedback. I've been watching some of the backlash and "conspiracy theories" on Twitter and it is quite humorous.

I do understand, that the one thing the project appears to lack is more transparency but as someone tied to the project, I can say that there is no "hidden agenda" with 1CalgaryCentre. This isn't a vehicle created by a single party or tied to a single party, just a handful of people who want to try something a bit different. At the end of the day, whomever Calgary Centre residents vote for through the project whether it will be Harvey, Dan, Chris or even Ben, will get the 1CalgaryCentre support.

I believe that right there is the odd problem with being a non-Conservative Federal voter in Calgary, each of the other parties believes that "their guy and only their guy" should win, while the other parties should just fall inline. All three parties have stigmas in Calgary, so as a personal standpoint I want to know why I should vote for each candidate and what they'll do to represent Calgary's interests.

Sorry, don't want to derail the conversation.
