Mark my words, we now have an activist #yyccc & mayor. We are about to see 4 years of unprecedented growth of taxes & flight of capital. We will see intense focus on issues outside their mandate & incompetence on things that are. The damage will be unprecedented. We deserve it.

How is it we can have globe and mail stories about how the reduction of international students has lowered rents in Canada but it’s racist to suggest immigration has caused rents to increase? It’s one or the other. #abpoli

The absolute shitshow that is navigating the disaster that city planners have created downtown is emblematic of the functional retardation of those that run our city. Yet somehow they still think they are smarter than everyone else. Time to clean house #yyccc hold them to account

The utter unwillingness of canvassers for #yyccc to engage has been ridiculous this cycle. Door knocking should be all about talking to voters. There has been zero interest in engaging. I’m not shocked just disappointed. Zero engagement is reflective of attitude of candidates.

How is it that every time I drive through sundance or midnapore (which is often) every boulevard or park looks freshly mowed yet up in my neck of the woods in ward 10 they are knee high in weeds? #yyccc is there a reason it’s not maintained up north?

I post this despite Jeromy blocking me so that others will be made aware of the silliness that his campaign is engaging in. I’d expect a sincere candidate to engage on questions like this, but alas. #yyccc

So @JeromyYYC how did Sarah Elder go from being your co chair on August 18 to her running for mayor September 5th? Shades of barb higgins coming out of nowhere when nenshi was originally elected. Sounds shady. #yyccc

I’ve asked this many times & have never gotten an answer so let’s try again. @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc what percentage of emergency call outs in #yyc are drug related. You must have that information so I’m asking again. Social disorder is a huge issue in #yyc #yyccc

Why are there JyotiGondek election signs all the way down North Portion of 52st SE when it’s a prohibited roadway @Calgary311? Last election she did and she’s doing it again. Clearly no concern from city for breaking election rules. #yyccc

So to be clear since @JeromyYYC just declared his official candidacy what exactly compels him to be accurate in listing donors previous to now and who has paid for his costs to this point?

Seeing @JeromyYYC has. now aligned himself with Sarah Elder céments my opinion that he has completely lost his way & is absolutely unelectable. Her involvement with NDP from askher is another nail. #yyccc

Hehr is a functional disaster vying for #yyccc. In no world does he have the ethics or competence to serve in that capacity. He’s simply grappling for what he sees as a life raft in his last hope for political relevance before he misbehaves & is cast out again.
@kenthehr You feel event centre funding is not high impact and will have no real returns?

My comment was based on OP bad faith use of term immigrant and its lack of precision given his insistence on precision regarding fashion. It was weak & the over the top responses are laughable. Your posts support acknowledges my position.

Which means the two words are not synonymous. Which was the point. Sorry if you can’t grasp that but thanks for popping in your contributions are noted.

I’ve concluded the dollarama by the center for newcomers in NE #yyc should just change its name to free shit. Anytime I’m there I see more theft than paying customers.

When I wrote this a year ago, it was mostly just academics & activists using the words “Uninvited Guests” to describe non-Indigenous British Columbians. Now, it’s government MLAs spewing this divisive rhetoric: https://t.co/tf9lkRfvlk BC belongs to ALL British Columbians.

Land acknowledgements legitimize blood and soil nationalism. The idea that land immutably belongs to a specific race, and that all other races are merely guests on said land, is profoundly regressive.
I acknowledge the generations of Indigenous people that have stewarded the lands on which I am grateful to live, work and play. And I will *always* take the opportunity to stand up against those who choose to deny this important and significant history. #Reconciliation

The place to apologize is in chamber. Not on twittter. #yyccc needs to stop using social media for anything more than distributing accurate information.
Last night I expressed some frustration with @YYCTKW and his handling of his Local Area Plans. In those comments, I impinged his character. Terry, I am sorry. I know you care deeply about your communities and take your role as Cllr. seriously.

Wonder if the tarot reader tonight at the Chinese new year fundraiser told Walcott he needs to find another profession sooner rather than later? #yyccc

#yyccc biggest chickenshit staffer once again showing what gifted orators and communication specialists they are. @Spencerfor12 put your boy on a leash. He represents you. I love me or hate me his conduct as your representative is a disgrace. You won’t be washing his stink off.
