In this episode (recorded October 2025), Carlos and Santiago break down the Calgary Municipal Election—what you’re voting on, why municipal politics impact your daily life more than federal/provincial, and how to navigate a crowded mayoral field. We discuss Mayor Jyoti Gondek’s record (policing, taxes, zoning, climate agenda), the rise in public safety concerns, and why we’re endorsing Sonya Sharp for mayor—and a slate that puts communities and safety first.
We also explain how City Council and School Board Trustees work, why these roles matter, and how to quickly find your ward and trustee candidates before October 20, 2025.
En español: Explicamos qué se vota en Calgary, por qué importa tanto (seguridad, impuestos, transporte, limpieza, zonificación) y por qué apoyamos a Sonya Sharp para alcaldesa. Además: cómo funcionan los concejales y los School Board Trustees, y cómo ubicar tu distrito.
