Save Calgary

This council declares war on our oil and gas industry with their "climate emergency". Who remembers when the oil industry meant something to Calgary and this country?

Advanced voting stations are now open across Calgary, and Calgarians have an absolutely critical choice before them.
We can either break free from the failures of the past decade and chart a bold new course for our city, or we can elect another batch of tax-addicted big spenders who keep us in the dark.
It's been an incredibly tough couple of years for families and businesses here in Calgary, and City Council's relentless focus on hiking taxes has only made it worse.
We can't afford to squander this opportunity to secure Calgary's future - we must make the right choices this time.
The third party group Lead Calgary has endorsed a list of candidates which they believe will restore fiscal responsibility and real accountability for Calgary.


Here are their choices in this election:
Mayor - Jeromy Farkas - Standing Up For Calgarians
Ward 1 Councillor - Steve Webb for Ward 1
Ward 2 Councillor - Kim Tyers for Ward 2
Ward 3 Councillor - Elect Brent Trenholm Ward 3
Ward 4 Councillor - Sean Chu Calgary
Ward 5 Councillor - Anand Chetty
Ward 6 Councillor - Sanjeev Kad Forward6
Ward 7 Councillor - Terry Wong
Ward 8 Councillor - Natalie Winkler for Calgary City Council - Ward 8
Ward 9 Councillor - Kimberly Feser
Ward 10 Councillor - Andre Chabot
Ward 11 Councillor - Rob Ward for Ward 11 - Collaborative, Fiscal Responsibility.
Ward 12 Councillor - No endorsement
Ward 13 Councillor - Dan McLean
Ward 14 Councillor - Peter Demong - Ward 14
These individuals support real change down at City Hall and will stand up for everyday Calgarians.
Now, let's talk about who NOT to vote for.
The massive public sector unions, who have raised and spent millions in this election cycle, are endorsing their own slate. If elected, these individuals will be completely beholden to the unions, will massively increase city spending, and will drive businesses out of our city.
Here are who the unions are endorsing:
Ward 1 Councillor - Sonya Sharp
Ward 2 Councillor - Jennifer Wyness
Ward 3 Councillor - Jasmine Mian
Ward 4 Councillor - DJ Kelly
Ward 5 Councillor - Raj Dhaliwal
Ward 6 Councillor - Lana Bentley
Ward 7 Councillor - Erin Waite
Ward 8 Councillor - Courtney Walcott
Ward 9 Councillor - Gian-Carlo Carra
Ward 10 Councillor - Abed Harb
Ward 11 Councillor - Kourtney Branagan
Ward 12 Councillor - Evan Spencer
Ward 13 Councillor - Jay Unsworth
Ward 14 Councillor - No endorsement
Save Calgary urges you NOT to vote for these candidates who will hike taxes and wasteful spending.
Meanwhile, there's also a third party group who thinks everything is fine at City Hall, and they want to see business as usual continue for Calgary.
Here's who Team More-Of-The-Same is supporting:
Ward 1 Councillor - Sonya Sharp
Ward 2 Councillor - Jennifer Wyness
Ward 3 Councillor - Jasmine Mian
Ward 4 Councillor - DJ Kelly
Ward 5 Councillor - Raj Dhaliwal
Ward 6 Councillor - Richard Pootmans
Ward 7 Councillor - Erin Waite
Ward 8 Councillor - No endorsement
Ward 9 Councillor - Gian-Carlo Carra
Ward 10 Councillor - No endorsement
Ward 11 Councillor - No endorsement
Ward 12 Councillor - Evan Spencer
Ward 13 Councillor - Diane Colley-Urquhart
Ward 14 Councillor - Peter Demong
The first thing you'll likely notice is just how much overlap there is between the union list and the status quo list.
That's not a coincidence.
City Council has hiked salaries, wages, pensions, and benefits for city employees to completely unsustainable levels. Both those who want more of the same on City Council and the union-backed candidates will keep on spending more and more, even though Calgarians can't afford it.
Save Calgary urges you NOT to vote for the status quo slate.
If we make the wrong choice in this election, Calgary might never recover.
Advance voting is open now, and it is absolutely critical that you, your family, your friends, your neighbours, and anybody who believes we can and must do better vote for real change.
This is our chance, don't let it slip through our fingers.
Sincerely,

Save Calgary
P.S. We'll keep up the hard work right until the very last ballot is cast. If you want to be part of real change down at City Hall, then please support Save Calgary today!
