I love this city — like so many of you, Calgary’s where I built my career, raised my family, and found my community.

But over the last four years, I’ve watched a city I care deeply about lose its way. Division at City Hall. Delays on housing and infrastructure. Decisions that just don’t reflect what Calgarians are asking for.

This election isn’t about politics — it’s about getting Calgary back on track. It’s about bringing honesty, collaboration, and real leadership back to City Hall.

I’m asking for your vote — and for your trust — in me and The Calgary Party team to build a city that works for you again.

One of our most important policies is around public safety. But when we talk about public safety we can't just talk about policing. Public Safetyneeds to including a mental health and addiction strategy, it needs to include a housing first strategy and it needs to be developed in consultation with our frontline services that are our closest to the issues.

Public Safety is a concern, it is a problem- but it doesn't get solved with slogans.

Throw those hands in the air. 🔥🔥

Brochures in every pocket? Don't threaten with a good time. LFG 🔥🔥

Brian joined last week to chat about The Calgary Party’s policy ideas around parks and recreation, the city's GamePLAN report, transit and public safety.

Sonya Sharp says Calgary needs 500 more police officers.

Here’s the thing: you don’t build public safety with math formulas. You build it with smart strategy and consultation.

📊 The “national average” ignores local realities — like civilian partnerships, and smarter deployment.
🚓 Even the Calgary Police Chief isn’t asking for 500 new officers. What we do need? Better coordination, better prevention, and better support.
🧠 You can’t arrest your way out of social disorder — we need real investments in mental health, wellness, and community safety.
💰 Quality policing isn’t about headcount — it’s about outcomes and accountability.

Calgarians deserve real safety — not soundbites

Sonya Sharp says she “doesn’t support the elevated line or the underground line.” 🤔 So… what does she support — more studies? More delays?

Calgarians have waited long enough. Four studies, billions wasted, and still no clarity all while the business community and the Calgary Chamber agree: underground is the only option that protects downtown.

Meanwhile, Sonya’s fine giving away a billion for the arena, but won’t commit to finishing the Green Line properly.

Brian Thiessen and The Calgary Party will get it done North to South, underground through downtown, and on track for the city Calgarians asked for.

A little BTS of our LIVE AMA today answering one of our most asked questions: is The Calgary Party associated with any existing political party? We are not! We started the party to push back against Danielle Smith's overreach into Calgary's municipal governance and we built a team on a set of shared values, ideas and vision for the future of this great city

7 days. That’s it.

This is the week we decide Calgary’s future — not Danielle Smith’s, not anyone else’s.

✅ Make a plan to vote on October 20 (10 AM – 8 PM all week)
✅ Volunteer a few hours this week in your ward
✅ Tell your friends who you’re voting for and amplify your support

We’ve got momentum, we’ve got ideas, and we’ve got 7 days to win it.
Let’s bring it home, Calgary
