4/10 In #Calgary, the #UCP's #MAGA-adjacent operators and trolls succeeded in blocking Mayor #Gondek's re-election.

But their own favoured candidate, Sonya #Sharp of the #CommunitiesFirst party, failed.

#Calgarians instead elected #JeromyFarkas, an independent #conservative.

"Resilience should not be mistaken for sustainability"- Anton Basenko, at RCF/FCAA's closed-door AIDS2026 dialogue.
Communities reach 60% of marginalized people with HIV on 25% of the funding. Fund them directly, before resilience runs out.

"Once sworn in, you are independent councillors, open to persuasion. The party system doesn't apply after that."
