So incredibly excited for Kitty and Caleb to be opening their new location. Sought and Found has become so much more than just a local cafe and they are incredible people.

Can't wait to hit them up in the beltline!

Alright, organized labour in Alberta, eyes are on you (us). Time to stand up for collective bargaining. Time to stand up for workers rights. Time to push back against draconian anti-worker overreach.

Regardless of direction, the next steps will define the labour movement in Alberta for decades.

The day we've been working towards is upon us. To every single person who volunteered their time, knocked on doors, dropped literature, and to every donor who supported - thank you. Your support is what has made this all possible.

Last day, second to last knock. We have the momentum and the will to win. We did politics differently, presented ideas, and stayed positive, because we believe in our future and you do too.

So, get your writing hand warmed up and VOTE VOTE VOTE tomorrow.

Ward 8 - Monday is a big day for the future of Calgary.

I believe our future is bright and think you do too.

Last weekend was cold with turkey on the table, but we had a full crew spreading the word.

We all want a positive vision for Calgary - which is why YOU NEED TO VOTE 1/

This municipal election is important - the next four years will shape issues like housing, affordability, transit, public safety, and even our local democracy.

That's why I'm running as an independent candidate with a vision to move us forwards, not backwards, and it's why you must vote 1/ #yyc

Finding common ground in politics is hard.

That's why I'm grateful for Dave Cree's Ward 8 endorsement.

We want to move Calgary forward by lifting people up - regardless of identity, income, or background.

Now is our chance to tell the province we value independent municipal leaders.

We are seeing an increasing rate of income inequality and a growing poverty gap in Calgary. And our current Ward 7 councillor isn't prioritizing addressing it. Instead, we have grassroots volunteer organizations filling the gaps #yyccc

This is fantastic news. Small retail on transit means more eyes on the platforms, more convenience for riders, and a better transit experience. Can't wait to see additional kiosks open!

Calgary's next #yyccc election is Oct 20. A key ballot box question will be whether we continue to move forward on transit, housing & 5A infrastructure or if we're dragged back in time. It's why we're sharing MoreNeighbours' #yycvote call to action:

Received a fantastic gift at the doors today.

A book created by a local author and illustrator honouring the incredible community work done by Good Neighbour and Alice Lam.

Their work supporting our most vulnerable and building community in our inner-city is an asset 1/

I feel it's important to take a moment away from politics and recognize @davecreeward8.bsky.social who I got to know over this election.

Dave is an incredible, genuine person who put a ton of work and care into his campaign.

He is thoughtful, authentic and cares about our city 1/

Climate denialism comes to Council.

At risk are extreme weather responses, food security programs, emergency management, home retrofits, and protecting our infrastructure and water.

Housing is one of the biggest issues facing Calgarians right now.

We've heard a lot of talk about rezoning and I believe that we must focus on solutions that build community while providing crucial housing options for all.

Westbrook LRT station has been empty and undeveloped for too long.

Thanks to a lapsed development deal, it’s now public land again.

It’s time to turn Westbrook station from derelict to destination, one that builds community.

I have a plan to get it done. On Oct 20, vote Nate for 8.

Call me the Lorax of Ward 7. 🌳 We can build the new, affordable housing we need while also protecting our vital inner-city tree canopy. It's not an either/or choice. A thread on how we do it:

Hey, Sonya Sharp and Communities First, Calgary’s Climate Strategy isn’t a “costly political stunt”, it’s necessary policy. Ignoring this isn’t going to make these smoke days go away.

Sincerely, every Calgarian struggling because of air quality advisories due to wildfire smoke.
