Imagine your number goal being to avoid vote-splitting and not, I don't know, making the city better for your constituents.

Simply out of principle, anyone who is part of a municipal political party will never get my vote. This type of politicking needs to stay TF away from the municipal level. But since it kills Marlaina inside that Alberta's big cities don't vote for conservative mayors anymore, this is all she has to try and covertly instill her ####ty brand of populist conservatism because she's that agenda-based and ultimately, that petty.

The poor Conservatives are having such a hard time in Alberta.They shouldn't run against each other... Boo hoo.
Also, the I hate the party idea and its execution. These stupid party names... I had to keep scrolling back up while reading the article to keep track of which party was which.

They sound like the stupid gang names of the 2000s.

these Calgary civic election parties are too reminiscent of..
People's Front of Judea
and the
"Judean People's Front".

It seems likely Northback will form a slate of candidates (puppets) for the CNP election this fall.

Good luck. Ranchlands has some of the biggest ranchers and ranches in the province. The Waldron co-op is massive and has powerful shareholders.

Had a door to door person today for someone running for councilor in our ward. I asked if they were in one of the new political parties, they were, told them I will not be voting for anyone in any of those parties.
Also mentioned it seems a little early for door to door.

When they knock on your door, it's to get data on who you will be voting for, trying to sway your opinion is not their primary purpose. It's not too early from their standpoint to know which way you're leaning.

In municipal you can definitely sway votes just by showing up, because there's a good chance you're the only one that does
