Sorry if I missed it but who are each of the main mayoral candidates connected with as a party?

Gondek
Davison
Sharpe
Farkas
Thiessen

I don't even know anyone outside of those 5.

I think only Thiessen (Calgary Party) and Sharpe (Communities First).

I am surprised Larry Heather didn’t make up a party, but alas, also independent.

LOL Could you imagine thinking "I'm going to sign up and run for Larry Heather's party - that's a brand that's going all the way"

Everyone needs to visit his website and witness its majesty. I imagine if you gave a pre teen kid $50 and an afternoon to work on a website it would look better than this toilet smear.

If you look at his (for some reason) alphabetically labelled list A-I he missed the letter F.

I see Cu isn't in yet, but the last day is Sept 22 and I wouldn't be surprised if he waited until then to throw in.

have campaign spending rules/periods kicked in yet? I'm wondering if the party-affiliated candidates will get a bump when party-level advertising starts (if it hasn't already)

I don't especially like Gondek but if that's who I need to vote for to keep Farkas out of office then I am all in.
