I want to congratulate @mykeatkinson.bsky.social on his win in Ward 7.
Thank you, also, to Heather, Terry, Anthony, and Greg for putting your name in the ring and running great campaigns.
It's not the outcome I'd hoped for. Democracy is messy, but so worth it.

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

As a parent, I see the dedication of our teachers every single day. They show up for our kids & now it's our turn to show up for them. I stand in solidarity with Alberta teachers as they fight for better learning environments and supports for our public education system. #yyccc #AlbertaTeachers ✊🏼

We've been talking a lot about water here in Calgary over the last few years. Whether it's low river flows or potable water access, we've come to appreciate its importance & value. As we continue to grow, & see greater climate extremes, this will only become more important #yyccc

Sprawl costs us — socially, fiscally, and environmentally. This campaign is about restoring investment to our inner-city communities and ensuring our children still have a future here.

Today, we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We wear orange to honour the children who never came home, the survivors of residential schools, their families, and the intergenerational trauma that continues to affect Indigenous communities.

I'm pledging to introduce a motion to make Calgary a Queer Sanctuary City.

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:

🚲We have a policy in place that prioritizes building safe routes for walking and wheeling to school, but progress is slow. We need a candidate with experience advocating for mobility improvements, to push the city to move faster on this build out.

📚It's back to school day for many kids in Calgary!
As we get back into the school routine, it's important that we think about how our kids are getting to school and if they can do so safely. #yyced #yyc #yyccc #yycbike #yycelection🧵
