The other candidate for Ward 3, Brent Trenholm came by. Not very excited. Seems like another Chu / Farkas type. Not much vision. Would be disappointing if too many of these guys made it into council.

I don’t see why people like this even want to run if creating a vibrant, enjoyable city to live in isn’t their goal.

Well, here's something you don't see everyday...
https://twitter.com/user/status/1371603373082910722

Farkas votes with Nenshi, Carra, and Farrell against annexing some speck of land in the deep SW that might get developed 30 years from now.

Not to be the "actually" guy but I think in the past someone crunched the votes and the Nenshi era has seen much more random patterns in councillor votes versus the Bronconnier years and how you'd always see the same blocks of councillors voting the same way together.

Does anyone with greater understanding of municipal land policy have any thoughts on this?

Saw a Farkas sign in a household window in my neighbourhood a couple of days ago while walking my dogs, was immediately disappointed.

^^that would be absolutely at the bottom of my list of what I care about when it comes to neighbours. They could be a card carrying member of the communist party as long as they are quiet, keep things clean, don’t beat up or kill anyone(maybe that’s too much to ask..), and generally nice it’s a good neighbour.

In 30 years of house ownership I never spoke a word of politics with any of my neighbours.

I appreciate the neighbours who let all candidates put up signs on their lawn.

Oh, I'm sure they are good people and personally don't even know them. I just am disappointed that they would choose to support Farkas, I believe he won't do any good for the city. Ultimately though, at least we have a choice to support who we want to support whether we all agree or not.

No idea who he is.

The man, Kevin J. Johnston, launched a series of coffee names that includes the racist brand called “Wasted Native.”
“Forget gas, huff this” is the slogan that Kevin J. Johnston came up with for his coffee blend that has angered First Nations communities in Alberta.

Well OK then. If he don't have a rule that bans someone like this from running, we should. What a piece of trash.

Somebody just get MLB involved. I'm sure they'd litigate him back to the stone age for using the retired Cleveland Indians logo. He is a total garbage person who I'd imagine argues that he can't be racist because he has _______ friends.

No need. I think it’s better we let these clowns run if they choose. That way, when they fail miserably and are shown that Calgarians don’t accept their bull####, they can’t claim anything.

WTF?

It's from the future though, I see this at the bottom of the page "© 2023 by Digital Marketing."

Maybe that creates some kind of legal loophole?

Has anyone ever seen Larry Heather and Kevin Johnston in the same room at the same time?

Probably not a good idea. With that much density gathered in one room, the universe might collapse.

He already owes $2.5M from 2019, that he hasn't ponied up. MLB would have to get in line.He's a major puke.

Quote:
A former Mississauga, Ont., mayoral candidate charged two years ago with a hate crime, displayed "horrific" behaviour when he made "hateful Islamophobic" comments against Paramount Fine Foods owner Mohamad Fakih, a judge has ruled.

In a decision released Monday, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded $2.5 million in damages to Fakih and Paramount, a chain of Middle Eastern restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area, for defamation over a series of videos and online posts made by Kevin Johnston, some on his website Freedom Report, starting in July 2017. Johnston, who most recently ran for mayor in 2018 when he lost out to current mayor Bonnie Crombie, placing second with 13.5 per cent of the vote, was charged in 2017 for offering a $1,000 reward in exchange for videos of Muslim students praying in schools. He, his website, and Ron Banerjee were named as defendants in Fakih's original lawsuit, filed Aug. 4, 2017.

"At its core, the horrific behaviour of the Johnston defendants has been a grievous injustice to a valued member of the Canadian community who deserves nothing less than our respect, but it is more than that," the decision said. Johnston's behaviour "reflects a contempt for Canada's judicial process, an abuse of the very freedoms this country affords them and a loathsome example of hate speech at its worst, targeting people solely because of their religion," the judge added.

After being hit with a libel suit, the ruling says, Johnston responded with even more false information, this time claiming Fakih was funding terror groups and using his restaurants to bring in "illegal aliens."

"Mr. Johnston profits from the promotion of hatred. He takes paid speaking engagements featuring anti-Muslim statements, and Freedom Report solicits donations," the decision says. In addition to the videos, the decision says, Johnston approached Fakih while he was at Erin Mills Town Centre mall with his three children, accusing him of being a terrorist and snapping photos of them, even following them into the parking lot as they tried to leave the mall.

In the months that followed, the judgement says, Johnston also broadcast statements falsely accusing Fakih and his lawyers of having influenced the judge in the case, saying they "pulled a fast one," and that a "white woman judge" was letting Fakih fund terror. In addition to the $2.5 million in damages, Johnston has been ordered to refrain from communicating with, recording or publishing material about, or coming within 100 metres of Fakih, his residence or his family.
