Sonya Sharp is running to be Mayor for the City of Calgary, after spending most of her adult life working her way up through the ranks at City Hall. This is her second appearance on the show, and last time she appeared she had yet to decide fully whether throw her hat into the ring or not. Calgary should be grateful she did. Sonya intends to RESCIND the Climate Emergency, previously declared by Jyoti Gondek, on Day 1. She regrets having voted in favor of the Notice of Motion and we dive further into that time. She also intends to RESCIND blanket rezoning, as many of the candidates do. We spend a large portion of this discussion talking about Safety and Crime and the City. She plans to hire 500 new Police Officers. She also CLAPS back at Jeff Davison for accusations of a Conflict of Interest regarding Communities First lead volunteer Marc Henry, and his involvement with Think HQ, a firm currently contracted to Enmax. Lastly, I informed her I was concerned about another Vote-Splitting scenario that seems to be rearing it's ugly head again as we head into yet another divided Calgary Election. I for one am happy Sonya is running for the City of Calgary, I truly believe she has the constituents best interests at heart, as does her team at Communities first, that could help change the voting landscape the City has been craving for so long. Sonya can be found currently knocking on doors, doing live debates, making public announcements and working her tail off to earn our trust. Enjoy this listen, it's important folks!!!!

Jeff Davison is running to be Mayor for the City of Calgary for the second time. He learned a ton from his first time "failure" and we speak on the importance of failure, both in life, and in business. One thing is for certain, he is NOT the same as current Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. Jeff is an entrepreneur and currently serves as the CEO at the Prostate Cancer Centre, a respected Alberta-based health charity. In this role, Jeff leads efforts to provide men with comprehensive clinical support, education, and critical resources — helping them make informed decisions about their health with access to pre- and post-surgery care. We had a great yap covering his earlier years having spent 20 years in the energy sector. Jeff was a already elected to City Council prior from 2017-2021 where he represented Ward 6. (my hood) We speak about his time spent at City Hall, and also focus on some of the rezoning thats happening in the Ward specifically. Jeff wants to RESCIND Blanket Rezoning, he wants to freeze Property Taxes for 4 years, he wants to tackle Safety in a large way and we get into his platform in detail. Jeff is absolute gem, well spoken, kind-hearted and I believe he truly has US, the constituents interests front of mind as priority. He is the kind of change we desperately need in Calgary City Hall!! Jeff can be found currently pounding out the Podcasts as he makes his rounds campaigning in addition to pounding the pavement. Enjoy this listen, it's important!!!!
