Reporters should ask Danielle Smith “do you have data to support your position?” at every single presser.
Maybe after being asked a hundred times she will understand that we care about the facts, not her smooth lies cloaking ideology.
NOYS has repositioned and renamed to Composing Youth Mobility still lead by the incredible Jacob Smith

There is a cost to services and it is high time that city Council acknowledge that publicly. We ALL deserve to have quality trees and better snow clearing - and guess what? That comes at a cost. It is time to trumpet pride in public spaces at City Hall.
This is sound campaign practice!!
Thanks @hollyhoye.bsky.social
Those of us electing for Covid shots are protecting ourselves AND reducing impacts - and therefore costs - on our health care system. This is truly a headshake moment.

Ward 7 deserves serious representation on Council! I am running to provide that!
Love the festive bike lock ups on Centre St! #supportlocal #rideabike
Thanks for the recommendation! Cued up for my next listen!
Campaign time is funny. After 27 days, I feel like I've been doing this for years.
That reflects just how much the team has done. A huge thank you to the 100s of volunteers who have talked to 10s of 1000s of residents - and given so generously of their time.
It means the world.
So many Canadian flags are flying in #calgaryconfederation today! @coreyhogan.ca has lit up the imagination of residents and today we are voting for Canada! #election2025
It’s election day! The sun is out, skies are blue and I discovered a new coffee home in downtown west! Be sure to visit Frida’s & say hello! And remember to vote! We have the opportunity to elect liberals in Centre & Confed! #yyc #election2025 @coreyhogan.ca @lindsayluhnauyyc.bsky.social
Every election, we also hold a vote for the kids to decide what's for dinner.
We do this to explain democracy (you don't always get what you want, you always get your say) & to expose the kids to how easy it is to vote.
Make your own dinner ballots here: files.coreyhogan.ca/Election_Nig...
A group of Liberal party door-knockers in the Varsity neighbourhood of Calgary.
My door-knocking crew for the @coreyhogan.ca blitz day in Varsity.
Liberal signs deployed: 20
Conservative signs spotted: 2
Number of locals who stopped us on the street for a sign: 3
Volunteers deployed across the riding: too many to count (but there’s always room for more).
So excited to vote for @coreyhogan.ca in Calgary Confed!
As the month of Ramadan comes to an end, I wish the Muslim community a joyous Eid Al Ftir!
Calgary's Local Area Plans are being leveraged by some Council members to stir up discontent among residents and stop our city from moving forward on important issues. @thecalgaryparty.bsky.social is committed to stopping the dysfunction on Council.

Our provincial government is committed to taxing Calgarians without providing corresponding investment back into our city. @thecalgaryparty.bsky.social is ready to address the imbalance.
74% of Calgarians without a home say homeownership is simply not attainable before this budget... Danielle Smith is only making things worse.
She's taking our money, and what do we have to show for it? Her government screwing our Green Line?
In the middle of a housing crisis, the AB government is dead set on making it harder for people to buy a home. Budget 2025:
- Increases land transfer fees by 250%
- Increases mortgage registration fees by 333%
- Raises property taxes by $239 on a median Calgary home

Calgary is an OLYMPIC City and we lack the facilities to host a softball competition for youth. A shameful admission.
We need a #GAMEPLAN.
When are we going to stop treating housing like it's pollution? This is an appalling outcome.
The young softball athletes currently presenting to council on the benefits of sport & recreation is OUTSTANDING. The future is bright with these young advocates! #characterbuilding #teamplayers #mentalhealth #friendship #GAMEPLAN
@calgarypolice.bsky.social seeking dashcam footage in Jan. 24 pedestrian incident in the 500 block of 17 Avenue SW, about 11:30 pm. A small, dark coloured SUV, was travelling at a high rate of speed. call 403-266-1234.
This is a vibrant/pedestrian heavy location! @livewirecalgary.bsky.social
We can build a future for our city where everyone thrives with leadership from principled, smart, compassionate candidates like @inamteja.bsky.social!
Pointed comments from the Green Line's first and most fervent champion. Thank you Shane Keating for weighing in.

Appreciate your care keeping an eye out for pedestrians & cyclists. And dogs too! I take care they don’t get ahead of me while crossing the street. We’ve had a few close calls.
And Sonja Sharp was just so rude to a pro-density speaker that my head is spinning!
Did Terry Wong seriously just ask in a public meeting: “what types of people are coming into community?”
Trying to imagine a more offensive us vs them positioning!
We are all Calgarians!

I don’t defend that behaviour. But I walk daily, having to cross busy roads in 3 of 4 directions from my home. Our car-centric ways make it tough to be a pedestrian.
