WE DID IT!! 🎉 All 14 wards in Calgary have now had election debates. We organized four of them because no one had. There are 20 candidates total in those wards and 16 showed up for our last-ditch debates—candidates from across the political spectrum. What a ride! #yyccc

E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion, and costs — if cities take them seriously
E-bike sales are booming, providing a clean form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet cities remain committed to cars.

Blown away. When The Sprawl invited candidates to 4 last-ditch election debates, we didn't know what the response would be, especially in the final days of the campaign. There are 20 candidates total in those wards and 16 showed up. 16!!!!! I applaud each and every one. #yyccc

Are safe streets an election issue when Calgarians go to vote on Monday? Which candidate is advocating for safe streets for people to walk and bike?
Or do Calgarians only care about whether a 4 plex is going up next door?

My name is David Barrett and I'm asking for your vote for Ward 7 Councillor.
From the pathways we walk to the water we drink, the Bow River is the heart of our community in Ward 7. It connects us all. On October 20, help protect the river by lending me your vote. #yyccc #yyc

Politicians like to talk about being tough on crime - but not these crimes.
These crimes are fine to them.
Why else do they keep happening? #yyccc #roadsafety

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.

Throwing people who use drugs and those who are unhoused under the bus is a time honoured tradition for politicians seeking re-election, as illustrated by #yyc mayoral incumbent Jyoti Gondek.

Regardless of statistics showing crime is dwindling, safety is a major concern for Calgarians—why?
In my latest essay, i explore this question, alongside the implications of letting our bourgeois fears guide our city’s policy agenda.

Certain mayoral and councilor candidates like to bleat on and on about crime and what they are going to do about about.
But this...these crimes against people are not what they care about...so the deaths on our roads continue, unabated. #yyccc #roadsafety www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Wiped out! The Sprawl put on two #yyccc candidate forums today on opposite ends of the city. Ward 3 with 6/8 candidates and Ward 12 with 5/5 candidates. Tomorrow is Ward 2 with 4/5 candidates. And Friday is Ward 13 with 1/2 candidates. Watch on The Sprawl's YouTube channel! 📸 @asadch.bsky.social
