    Gee, I wonder why the UCP might want the recall process made easier?

    Last month, Project YYC was registered as a trade name with the province by Roy Beyer. A Project YYC Facebook page has also launched, calling itself a non-profit organization it says aims to make Calgary “a better place for all.” It includes a link to a Recall Gondek website.

    Tuesday, when a document attributed to them began circulating on social media, there was widespread speculation about what it meant. It included a list of names of people known in conservative circles. The document states the goal of Project YYC, in addition to supporting the Recall Gondek campaign, is to support the creation of a “big tent coalition” to elect for a “common-sense conservative mayor and counsel (sic)” in Calgary in 2025.

    It lists 11 individuals as part of a “recall campaign core team.” It includes two constituency board members with the United Conservative Party (UCP) and two Calgary “captains” with Take Back Alberta, a conservative political action group. There are also four people listed as “project advisors,” two of whom are current UCP board of directors.

      What? A coalition of industry aligned politicians working between elections to overturn the results of an election?!? That would never happen in Canada. /s

    “Not one single person has contacted me and it has been very stressful because this city is in shambles,” said Johnston

    PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!! 🤪

    Also we all got to see how much Calgary is in shambles since they filmed that Last of Us documentary there.
