GND#23 with Sonya Sharp Ward 1 Councillor City of Calgary

Sonya Sharp is a Ward 1 born and raised City of Calgary Councillor. She is a rare-breed indeed for two reasons, the first being a City Councillor whom was born and raised in her own Ward, although it does happen from time to time. The second being that, not only does she represent where she has spent her entire life, but she also worked for the City of Calgary for 20 years before deciding to enter into municipal politics. Sonya is a breath of fresh air whom seemingly ALWAYS votes on Notice of Motions downtown Calgary with her constituents in mind. This does not always happen. In this episode we get into the divide at City Hall, and the repetitive nature of almost of ALL of the NOM's brought forward ending in a final vote of 8-6. Some of the local newspapers have dubbed the larger majority voting block "The Hateful Eight". We get into the Green Line Debacle, the Climate Emergency declaration on Day 1 by Mayor Gondek, and what the hell does this even mean. We get into the current Tabled Budget, and of course the famous Water Main Break that occurred in Bowness. Grab the popcorn folks. Sonya has no problems calling things like she see's them and calling people out. It's a fantastic discussion. Could she be Calgary's next Mayor????
