I just watched the Killarney mayoral debate and Sharp's performance was awful. It's like she's only running so she can dump on others.

Not what I want to see in my mayor.

(And I imagine Davison is running so he can book local comedy clubs later on)

The Danielle Smith, PP, Trump school of politics. Let's hope it doesn't win in Calgary civic elections.

Unfortunately, most of her supporters probably have never heard her speak and are very unlikely to watch the debate. They likely just said "who is the conservative?" and then put up a sign.

It is really tragic that so many people still support the conservative movement so blindly when the conservative movement has been perverted so far away from what it used to be. Even the slightest of questioning attitudes would clue in quickly that the conservative movement is becoming more and more a vehicle for corporatist control and grifting of public funds.

I wonder about Farkas from a backbone perspective. Does he have it in him to stand up for Calgary, as the province continues to try to push their way into municipal politics. But I'm also reminded that he's only one vote on the council.

Gondek's first term was not that stellar, but it's the unknown of other candidates that worries me. At least with her, you kind of know what you're getting. I'd like to go with Thiessen but wondering if that's just throwing away a vote.

For councillor I'm leaning towards Dan or Joey.
For school trustee, Jenny Regal.
I haven't dove deep yet but won't vote for a party candidate so Nowak is out.
For me its between Dan and Ali with me leaning toward Ali only because I know he served on the Rocky Ridge/Royal Oak Community association and, as a RRRO resident, I selfishly hope he finally truly tackles the issues in our neighborhood (the gravel route -112ave 85st intersection and the increased concenrs that has come with the "warming center" at the Journey Church)
Still have to take a further look and watch the debate from the Vasity Community Center. Either way, I'm excited SS will no longer represent us.
