Love people who put their money where their mouth is . Good luck Sheldon with this big step in your life to help others - it takes so much given the current climate of deceit and lack of transparent by people in positions that should know better but somehow don’t have the ethical backbone or appetite to be honest in my opinion. Nothing but admiration for your stance .
It's all local. The only way to fight is to get involved locally. Progressives/liberals understood this for decades while conservatives/libertarians ceded cultural and institutional territory to the left. Time to pull things back to the centre. Not that I think you can ever be truly 'centre' (one side will always have an edge) but the point is to pull things close to the 'point of common sense' where all sides can live in 'imperfect harmony'. What we have is perfect disharmony at the moment. "Pas bon" as they say out here in Lower Canada.
Much respect Sheldon! It's very difficult for the average person to get involved and stay involved, especially when you have a family. I wish you all the best on your quest to make a better Calgary 🙌🏼
Wowzahs !!! This is exciting Sheldon I can’t think of a better opposition member ,congrats!!! good luck with this endeavour I’m sure there will be much support
PP explains very well why we have to think about and own the language we use and not fall for catch-all and comprimised words. 'Safe' used t.o mean safe, 'Environment' used to mean "The surroundings of, and influences on, a particular item of interest."
I for one need to find away into this type of arena up in the deadzone of YEG and bring it back to life. That kind of life that transcends time and liberalism. That is. Logic, reason and compassion; I guess if I must. Kidding. Jeez.
I will be gleaning from you everything that I can.
I went to the Ward 12 and 14 meet and greet and once again came away impressed with the group leading the initiative. If you haven't already, I encourage you to chat with Jeff Watson (he was an Ontario MP in the Harper government), he shared a lot of stories from his time in government and running against the Liberal/NDP crowd out east. I don't have the energy you have to run like you but will likely help out on the Ward 12 Board.
I connected with Jeff on X a while back, met him in person at the ABC Stampede BBQ...he's a great leader and will make for an excellent mentor. He'd served alongside with one of my former classmates in Parliament - Rob Anders. Anders was also at the BBQ...had a great chat with both of them.

Wow Sheldon! A career in politics seems natural for you! And I mean that in the besssst possible way!
Wishing you luck! I hope it turns things around for your city.

Lots of respect, Sheldon. Many complain, but few act. If I was still in the Calgary area, you'd have my support.

> We will uphold the highest standards of environmental stewardship
Opens the door to all kinds of hypothetical BS.
The word 'environment' is a 'leftist' cat whistle.
Could be better stated without that trigger word that indicates capitulation to an irrational and destructive cult.
Environment should be our focus...keeping our house in focus and in order.
Not talking about dynamic weather that we'll never have any control over...appreciate what you're saying though, Allen.
Agreed, but we need another word or words that are not owned by the enemy.
That word has lost its real meaning and is just a sustitute for reasoning.
Saying it triggers reflexes and bypasses the need for thought. Just like "Saving the Planet". These are slogan words and phrases .
These are shibboleths and IMO misidentify the new group and repel people like myself.
What are we really saying? Can we say it without using the pet words and phrases of the adversary?

If you're in Calgary, get behind this and him and may the BEST candidate represent.
If anyone knows of a similar in YEG please inform. This is my social media. And it's all I want. Perhaps a social downfall. I'm willing to accept.
Absolute beauty Sheldon!

That's nice. Very nice of you!

This is excellent news… you have my support and membership.
