I’ve formally requested a recount under the Local Authorities Election Act. This is about ensuring transparency and strengthening confidence in our democratic process. No matter the outcome, Calgarians deserve a system they can trust and we’ll keep working toward improvements that benefit every Calgarian. #yycvotes #yyc

Thank you to every Calgarian who voted. With a margin of just 585 votes (0.16%), I will be requesting a recount to ensure every ballot is properly counted. Win or lose, I am grateful for the opportunity and will fully accept the outcome - because every voice matters. #yycvote #Calgary #yyccc

Today, we stopped by the Halloween Village by Treat Accessibly. It was a great afternoon connecting with families and celebrating inclusion in our community. Thank you to the team at @treataccessibly for putting on such an amazing event and for the residents of Hillhurst for hosting!

The majority of Calgarians were not in favour of blanket rezoning. I voted against it in 2023 before it even became a policy. The Communities First team and I will repeal blanket rezoning on day one. I will ensure neighbourhood voices are brought back to council.

We all deserve to feel safe in our city and too many Calgarians tell me they do not feel safe in Calgary. Hearing the story from the young girl who came to my office and told me she fears for her life walking to her car after work on Stephens Avenue, that should not happen. I am the only candidate who has put forward an actual plan focused on increasing safety. I am committed to hiring 500 new police officers and reinstating a 24-hour police station downtown. I have developed this plan through extensive conversations with the CPS and CPA.

Strong debate tonight, thank you @CBCCalgary. I’m ready to lead Calgary forward with action on repealing blanket rezoning, making our streets safer and holding administration accountable. Momentum is building. Let’s finish strong - vote October 20.

A great look at how this race is shaping up and how much has changed since 2021. Farkas 2025 is not the same as Farkas 2021. Give it a read. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co…
