So much cringe

didn't even come across this Jan 6 article until today, makes me surprised that Carter even lasted this long

Gondek says nobody should be blamed for what happened. Her only critical words, in fact, are reserved for her own chief of staff, Stephen Carter.

Carter told Postmedia’s Licia Corbella that he blamed former mayor Naheed Nenshi for creating “the failure that we’re facing today.”

Gondek said Thursday: “That is not my perspective at all and I am incredibly disappointed that he should make such a comment.”

“Stephen should have known better than to make such a comment on my behalf.”

It’s a rare public rebuke of a hired official. One former chief of staff to a senior politician said that his boss, in a similar situation, would have just said, “oh, that guy — he doesn’t work here anymore.”

He made some offside comments about the homeless over the Christmas cold snap and then made a half-apology on Twitter.

Also not a fan of him getting into closed-door meetings that are normally reserved for council - https://calgaryherald.com/news/local...closed-meeting

I get the sense that he thought he had more power and influence on council because he is (was) close to the Mayor.

Anonymous sources say he was a bully and people didn't like how much he involved himself

Jyoti's first 100 days interview.

She provides her explanation for hot button topics like the climate emergency declaration, arena deal and Stephen Carter.

Ryan Jesperson is a great interviewer. He asks clear questions that I want to hear the answers to and then moves on to something new after the guest answers.

I enjoy Ryan Jespersen and agree he’s a great interviewer and entertaining. I find some of his topics obscure and not of great interest; I’m not referring to this interview as I have great interest in local politics. (I support Ryan on Patreon as a big FU to Mike Nichol.)

With convoys and Ukraine and Beat Spring Ever and everything else municipal news (lie how the provincial budget affects Calgary) can get lost in the shuffle, but the election spending results are in:

https://twitter.com/user/status/1499161167247388678

I’m really surprised by Damery’s amount, and even more surprised by Davison’s (lack of) funding. He would have been a shoe-in to be re-elected as a councillor and with a pretty inexperienced council could have had a lot of influence on how decisions went. I still don’t understand how his campaign was so bad when he decided to go for mayor.

I take a perverse happiness in Farkas spending the most.

I have no memory of someone named Damery even running for mayor.

I really liked her but she definitely didn't have the name recognition

I voted for her, but also kind of knew she wasn't winning, she just couldn't seem to get her name out there, former CEO of YWCA calgary.

Apparently Wyness in Ward 2 spent only $13,632, whereas Magliocca racked up $103,347 in expenses...

One thing to keep in mind is that I don’t believe these include money from the two PACs that elected every candidate.
