I have to go early vote because I'm leaving town the 20th, but I'm gonna print a buncha these off in my ward and leave them around in Little Free Libraries/etc #yyc

I had an extra Ward 9 zine from the debate at Cold Garden and gave it to my neighbour who came over to ask me about his voting plans while walking his dog. 🗳

🤠 Calgary’s first town council meeting, in 1884, was in a saloon. They soon upgraded to a town hall—“a very cheerless, cold and inconvenient place,” councillors lamented. 🥶

Each day until Oct 20, The Sprawl is publishing a new Sam Hester comic on Calgary’s political history. Stay tuned! #yyccc

Most likely it was @klaszus.bsky.social Instagram feed, which we use instead (not being able to use the Sprawl one).

❌ No votes for you! Calgary had a very limited local democracy in its early days…

Every day in October, until Election Day (Oct 20), we're sharing a new @calgaryhester.bsky.social comic about Calgary’s election history. Stay tuned for more! #yyccc
