Officially, but unofficially…I’ve thrown my hat into the ring.
At the
@abetteryyc
municipal party meet and greet this evening, I’ve announced my intention to run for Calgary City Council.
Don’t hate me for feeling like I need to do more…
Yahoo and Yeehaw!
A Better Calgary Party is inviting you to join us at our inaugural Stampede event!
Come on down to Bowness Park, picnic site
#6
, on Friday, July 12 at 3:45 p.m. to meet your volunteers and learn more!
Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us today! It was great to get to know you a touch and we can’t wait to create Calgary’s first official municipal party with you!
We hope you are having a boot-stomping, high-flying, rootin' tootin' time this Stampede! And we hope you to see you out on Friday at our very first Stampede BBQ!
Sign up here and spread the word!
What a great turnout for Ward 3 & 4 last night at the Brickwell Taphouse! Several people have already come forward expressing interest to run for our party. Have you reached out yet?

If you live in Ward 6 & 7 and you are ready to transform our city to A Better Calgary join us for our meet and greet! Wednesday July 31st - sign up here:
@CrisNannarone
As far as I know, that organization is not an official political party (and should not have been). We will have democratic elections for board members and candidates for a start….
@DavisJKyle
@AlexRMcColl
The party will not hold policy views. Members and candidates will hold opinions and policy positions. Please see a website for a list of our principles.
It was standing room only at the Holiday Inn & Suites on Blackfoot Trail Wednesday night during the launch of Calgary's first municipal political party.
@DavisJKyle
@AlexRMcColl
The party only exists to unify people who have the same principles. I think you will have to wait until the candidates express their views for this sort of answer.
What a great turn out at the A Better Calgary municipal party Stampede BBQ.
Easily a few hundred wonderful people.
Lots of energy and lots of motivation.

Interesting… there are likely people that would agree and disagree on this in the party. But if you join us you can take part in shaping and choosing candidates who would align to your views on this.
If you live in Ward 11 or 13 and you are ready to make A Better Calgary we would love to meet you! Our first meet and greet for these wards is Thursday July 15th - sign up here:
@AudreyDoepker
We are Calgary’s first municipal party and we are working to bring people together and find the best candidates for our city! Check out our principles, which are on our website and join us!
@ABSocialDem
No info on that yet but we will be transparent and open in the process for nominations and voting for all candidates. The membership of the party must first form then guide the process details. All of which will
Happen in the days to come.
Calling on you and your Ward 3 & 4 neighbours to come out for our meet and greet to help us make A Better Calgary. We meet Wednesday, July 24th, sign up here:
“This is Nenshi’s nightmare Calgarians are faced with. This was a project designed a long time ago with unrealistic expectations of the real cost of it, and it’s just been a dog ever since.”
Why start a municipal party anyways? Because then we can unify around PRINCIPLES and find and vote for polticians that align to them...
(Aside from having a killer Stampede BBQ tomorrow... don't forget to sign up - )
@AlienatedAlber1
The party will not take policy positions but candidates will. We will elect candidates in each ward and support them through the election process. Our principles are on our webpage.
@BanjoDawg17
We promise it’s not a useless mailing list ;) but yes- we are a little under construction for a few more hours - thanks for looking us up!!
It’s your turn now! We need you and your friends to sign up and help create A Better Calgary with us! Ward 12 and 14 - we meet on Tuesday July 23rd - sign up here:
@AlienatedAlber1
The details of all nominations and voting policies and governance will become clear as the party assembles. Our first AGM will be in October.
Great to “meet” you

Thanks Sheldon! The more people join, the bigger the impact we can make and for anyone who wants to make a change this is THE opportunity in Calgary over the next year (if we don’t say so ourselves) …
