Hi Dave: Gerald Mutabazi Amani in Dene.
Haruun J. Ali
https://hja2021.ca
Haruun moved to Ward Papastew for this election
Pasqualino Santoro is running for ward 1
Is it ‘Tracy’ o ‘Tarcy’ Schindelka running in Papastew? I’ve only been able to find information on the latter (and no statements about his campaign)
he is pro-choice and that is the most important thing right now
I think also Liz John West in Metis. Something of a perennial candidate
Hi Nadine, I have only ran once in 2017.
Maybe you are thinking of Mimi Williams? Who has ran a few times.
We do look a like.
I will be running for re-election. Catholic School Board wars 74. My papers were filed with the city on Friday! Hope you are safe and well Dave!
What about Michael Oshry for Mayor
Tyler Zutz (me) has declared for Ward Anirniq.
I’ll be filing my paperwork in two weeks.
In the meantime I can be contacted here:

Twitter and IG launched this weekend!
The councillor’s name is wrong.
Should be Jon Dziadyk
Aaron Paquette is running for re-election in Dene.

Hi Dave! I submitted my papers on May 10, to run for city council for Ward 9 – Pihêsiwin. You can find me on Instagram and Twitter as @guiscelayeg
Also my website http://www.guiscelayeg.com
Re: sipiwiyiniwak
First a thank-you for the new electoral map! Losing Andrew Knack is not only a blow, but it looks like a ward for opportunists and panderers at this point. Please help. I care about vision and policy but foremost? Values. Yah. Old-timer. So please help us to pick one.

Hello! Please change the website for Giselle General to gisellegeneral.ca/
That is the accurate campaign website. What you have posted is the personal blog. This website has been active since May 2021 and I understand you added the candidate name before that.
Thank you so much!
How do I get my Name high lighted in red to send people to my website?
Hannah Hamilton is running for public school trustee in Ward G
Thought you might be interested to know one of the candidates running in Ward 3 (tastawiniyak) by name of Said (Sid) Amaar appears to be a holocaust denier.
Please see attached links.

Looks like most Edmonton Catholic School Board members will be acclaimed again. Mark Twain said something like God made fools for practice, then he made School Boards. This is what he was talking about!
Any opinion polls for Edmonton elections yet?
Where can I find contact info for Dave Oliver?
https://www.daviddougherty.ca is a candidate for Ward C as well.
Wish you would do the same for Calgary!
Hello Dave,
Could kindly update my contact information in your website? Thank you.

Hey anyone know if/when polling information for the civic election might be available? Ward Métis has a number of progressive candidates running and it would be informative to know where everyone stands in the race. Thanks
Hello! The following is information on Jasbir Singh Gill’s campaign. If you could kindly update the information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Has there been any polling done for councillors in ward O-day’ min? Would like to know which candidate has the best chance of defeating Tony Caterina. Know many people who did not like him in his former ward.
Can you include the Senate candidates as well please? Doug Horner just threw his hat in the ring.
